  • Download & install free FExplorer
  • Now browse through the file system > c:\system folder.
  • Look for a file called "mmcstore"
  • Rename the file to mmcstore.txt and then open it.
  • Your password must be at end of the file.

Nokia 6270 is S40 phone, FExplorer will not work on it. And password is in the memory card, bcoz i have fomatted the phone memory but it still prompt for password.

Oops! I didn't checkout the model number properly... :rolleyes:
Since you formatted the Phone memory, the password stored in phone memory is also lost now. It is not possible by any means to recover the password from phone. All you have to do is read from memory card reader. What is happening when u connect the card to PC?

Connect ur fone to pc thru data cable in "DATA TRANSFER' mode.After ur fone (mem crd) has been detected as a USB Mass Storage Device,try to format it.

Possibility of that happening is 9:1. But give it a try. But believe me its gone.

^^^ Its not gone.A device (MMC Unlocker) is available which does a hard format of any mem crd irrespective of whether its password protected or not.I've seen it here in a mobile repairing shop.

Its nothing bout being personal dude.All i wanted toknow was wat sort of info do u want bout the MMC Unlocker,dats all.
I've seen the device at a local mobile repairing shop here in my home town (Durgapur).So i wont be able to tell ruturaj3 where he'll get it in Mumbai.I think he sud try the mobile repairing shops.
Also if his fones in warranty he cud give a visit to Nokia Care,maybe they can solve it.
