    Hi folks,

    I took my sim card out of my phone last night (Nokia 6700 Classic) to put in another older phone for a few minutes last night. Upon putting the sim back into the 6700, I noticed the contents of the entire phones memory had been wiped., right down to themes, ring tones, applications etc all gone.

    Blood pressure rising, I tried restoring the factory settings to see if I could at least get the phone back to a useable point. No joy, infact it only made things worse as that procedure locked the 1GB memory card that came with the phone :mad: There was no password on it before, so I'm baffled as to what it could be :confused:

    Last resort was a firmware upgrade, so I used the Nokia updater to bring the phone up to the latest firmware which thankfully restored the phones content...but no joy on the memory card :( Is there anything I can do to even format the card? My pc's card reader won't recognise the card, & accessing it in a digital camera just locks the camera up.

    Does it work ok now in the phone? Does it ask for a password

    It's recognised in my phone alright, but there's a padlock symbol next to it. Trying to access it only brings up a password box, as does trying to delete/format/rename etc. I don't care about the content on the card as such, but I'd like to salvage the card itself if possible.

    Have you tired entering a password, four zeros is often default

    Yep tried 0000 & 12345, along with my current security code etc. Tried hotswapping it at the formatting prompt with several tools, two digital camera's, a Wii, a PS3 & two other phones :(

    I seen something online about it being connected to a remote locking feature in the sim card, and it's the first 8 digits of such a code. I don't think it's worth the effort really at this point given how cheap they are...just p1ssed me off because the phone broke it & not me! :rolleyes::pac:

    Ye its strange one, but the fact its only a 1GB card its not to bad, if it was 32gb now that would hurt. Im sure someone could sort it though with the right tool
