On some phones, you can factory re-set the phone directly from the settings menu. Some phones require a code to be keyed into the keypad, which automatically resets the phone. The lock code for the Nokia 6600 should be *#7780#, which you type into the keypad. If this doesn't work, there are other methods allowing you to return your phone to its original settings.
Doing a hard reset can fix many little glitches that can be encountered with phones. Before you do this, it is highly recommended that you back up everything on the memory of the phone. If you don't, you may be at risk of losing all your pictures, contacts and messages.
To do a hard reset for the Nokia 6600, you need to switch the phone off completely. Once the phone is off, press a combination of buttons that will allow the phone to reset. You need to press the green (call) key, the red (disconnect) key, and the camera key all together. Then, press the power button. You need to hold those keys until the standard Nokia "hand" welcome image comes onto the screen. You can then release the buttons, and allow the phone to reset. Be warned, you will most likely lose all the phone memory data. It will also clear all call data, any locking passwords and reset the clock/calendar. The security code will then be reset to the default 1234(5 as additional digit at the end, for some models).
On some Nokia phones, if you have installed the software that comes with the phone onto your computer, once the hard reset has been performed, you should be able to reboot your saved files, messages and contacts onto your phone.
