my nokia 3310 has for some reason taken it onto itself to change its
security code. it's on at the minute, but i'm afraid that when i turn it
off, when i go to switch it on again and it asks for me to input the
security code, it will reject it, thus rendering my phone useless. is there
any way to overcome this?
thanx

just type in 1111 four times

Thats ok then, as long as it doesn't just leave you without knowing the PIN,
useless as that would be, I could see it happening :-)
