Forgot the Nokia Security Code? You can regain the code back or reset to default settings.

I noticed a lot of Nokia phone users forgot the security code and having hard time figuring out how to reset the code to default settings. Now you can stop the headache because regain or reset the code is easy on BB5 phones. Yesterday I wrote the step by step tutorials regarding this on the Zedge forums after reading the problem of the Zedger is having. So I decided to post this on my blog as well. Hope the tutorials help.  Any question about this are welcome. Now, let’s start on how to regain your forgotten security code back.
Tools Required :
Nemesis Service Suite (NSS)
- Nokia PC Suite
- Data cable
Regain Your Security Code
Steps:
1. Install Nokia PC Suite
2. Install Nemesis Service Suite (NSS)
3. Connect your phone to your PC with data cable. If the phone prompts, choose default mode or PC Suite mode (DON’T OPEN PC SUITE)
4. Open Nemesis Service suite (NSS)
5. Click scan for new devices button (on top right corner of NSS)
6. Click Phone Info button.
7. Click Scan button.
8. Click Permanent Memory tab.
9. Click Read button.
10. It will read the permanent memory file and save it on the disk at following path.
C:\Program Files\NSS\Backup\pm\.pm
11. Open the .pm file using Notepad.
12. Now scroll until field [308], and on the 5th Record (5=) your security code is saved at there.
13. Like 5=31323334350000000000 (Example)
14. Abandon the red fonts.
15. So, 12345 is your security code. (Example)
Now, here is how to reset your security code.
