    If it is a Nokia then try the default of "12345".

    Also, if it has InfraRed or Bluetooth then the following link may help:

    If not, then you'll need to go to an unlocking shop and probably pay!

    If it's just the "security code" of the phone and not the SIM code then you could try LogoManager. It's been a long time since I used it but I know back when I did use it last it had the option to tell me the security code of the phone. You would need a cable to connect between phone/PC. Unless anyone has a better idea?

    Hi

    There are different types of codes for your phone.

    First is pin code a four digit code that if you have turned on, will as for it when you turn on your phone. you have three goes at it, then it becomes locked and you need to phone your mobile network and they will give you a PUK? code to enter and this will unlock it.

    Second is a security code on the phone which when activated asks for the code when the phone is switched on or another sim has been put into the phone as said in an earlier post this is normally 123456 on a nokia phone and if this is locked phone nokia if it is a nokia phone and they sould be able to sort it out for you, if it is another handset then call thier helpline.

    Hope this helps
