phone memory card locked???

[Dink]

well basicly i droped my phone in a pint on saturday night.

looked f**ked so took out sim card and mem card and left it there.

now got my new phone put mem card in and it's asking for a password:S.

now for the life of me can't remember it and it would be nice to use the card again.

is there anyway i format it to remove the password? (don't mind losing whats on it)

or is it a case of taking it to one of "those" mobile shops

What kind of memory card is it? i would say your best bet might be to put it in a card reader and do a low level format on it.. Cheapo USB 1000 in 1 card readers are what.. £8 now?

Well he says he doesnt mind losing whats on it, and he has a new phone anyway.

Besides which, he may just be able to read the data straight off, format the card, then put the data back on.

true but if he has a nokia i have a symbian app that can read passwords,

so he can just use that and then enter the password.

but then again he might not have a nokia LOL

Formating it won't lose the password, i tried that when mine asked for a password, did f**k all still asked for it. tried loads of applications to try and get the password, it was a nokia 6600. so just chucked it out and got one of ebay for about 5 buck.
