Don't you remember the password
1. If not just throw it off
2. If yes get a nokia phone with memory card slot and remove your password and format it

Can't format using ubuntu becoz the card is not shown, it does't even recognize it

Use old nokia phone to format . like nokia e66 for example !!

tried formatting using nokia 3120 classic it says cannot format memory card

Don't you remember the password
1. If not just throw it off
2. If yes get a nokia phone with memory card slot and remove your password and format it

if i had remembered the password i wouldn't be in such a mess

i heard there is some method called flashing the card i don't know anything more, but i think it might help, does any one know what it is
