When I first recieved my 7610 I set a a lock code on it so that whenver there is a change of SIM card I would need to input a lock code, I did this so if anyone stole my phone it would render it useless as they couldn't get into it. Today I got a new SIM card and cannot get into my phone (oh the irony). So is there anyway of bypassing the phone lock code?

*If anyone is thinking of posting useless crap like "oh you stole the phone", please refrain. You will be just wasting my time.

TIA

I'm not sure how to do that, but if no one here knows, the good folks here should be able to help you. (Great site for all kinds of phone related things BTW...)

Is it a phone on a contract? If so take the phone handset, along with proof of purchase to a store that deals with your contract provider. They should be able to do the business for you.

If it was an unbranded handset it may be worth looking into picking up a datacable and trying to find some third party security software which should display all the codes for you on your PC.

Put it in wrong 3 times, ring ya phone company, get ya puk code, and it will ask you to set a new code.

It's not the PIN he's talking about. It's a lock code of the mobile phone itself, regardless the SIM card. There is an option, you can set the phone to lock itself when a different SIM card (than the previous one) is inserted.

This way you can screw potential thieves when they attemp to use the phone with their own SIM cards.

If you put the original SIM card back in, can you not "Restore Defaults" to remove it ?

I doubt it would work, but it's what i'd try !

wouldnt work - because to reset factory settings you have to enter the phone unlock code :p

call nokia, explain whats happened - i phoned them, gave them my IMEI, they then phones bt cellnet (yes it was ages ago) to verify that i was in fact the owner, and they gave me a 12-14 digit code begining with *# or something, and it just said "Phone lock removed" and that was it!

Ohh that one. Thats a SIM lock that your provider has to remove. If you put i on yourself, you'll have to ring the provider and give them your IMEI.

Or pay the various online services who do unlocking.

Oh my days. Do you even know what he's talking about. It's not a SIM LOCK. It's a PHONE LOCK.

Thats set on the phone as part of the 7610 Security.

Best thing to do is to try default code which is 12345. Hope that you haven't changed it from the default. Failing that if you have a Data Cable then I can give u an app that can reveal the Security Code.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
