Hi,

I have a Nokia 5130 Music Xpress. It came with a free 1 GB microSD card. I password protected my microSD card but forgot the password the very next day:-(:-(:-(
Recently I had my phone serviced at a Nokia care. They formatted my phone memory... So i am now stuck with a password protected card which I cant access anymore.... Is it possible to recover the password. Any brute force software or atleast a way to recover the data from my memory card.... Please help me guys....

usually there is a "System" folder and there's a file called "MMCSTORE", that can recover the password..but as you have already formatted the phone memory, its better to purchase a new memory card !!

Is it possible to crack the password by brute force? The max password length is just 8...
