Firstly it should be stressed the following information provide here should not be used to facilitate any illegal pursuits.
To break the password of a Nokia phone is a relatively simple process. To begin with, a file explorer is needed to be able to access the lesser reaches of the cell phone's operating system (OS). In the Nokia Series 60 onwards this has been the Symbian mobile OS, so with that in mind the following instructions will be geared towards that particular platform. Also with the continuing trend of 'older' cell phones being less popular suggests it would be a waste of time to explore previous versions.
A list of supported Nokia cell phone models, versions and platforms are available to view via the Nokia official website:
www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/
Just search for the particular model that is queried via the drop down box, by clicking the arrow to the right and scroll down until the correct model is located. This will then give a detailed analysis of the cell phone, including what operating system is used, the platform and the version number. This will help to identify which file explorer supports the cell phone that is being used.
There are a few file explorers to choose from, with links below to some of the available software.
- FExplorer (freeware) - fexplorer.en.softonic.com/symbian
- Mobtime Cell Phone Manager (shareware - reduced functionality $19.95 for full version) - www.mobtime.com/en/cpm/down.php
- Xplore (freeware, but with a request from the developers that you pay $9.99 if you like it) - www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=xplore
After having downloaded and installed the software to your cell phone follow these instructions:
- Go to the C: Drive on your cell phone (accessing the phone's memory as opposed to any flash memory)
- Open up the system folder
- Locate the file called mmcstore and send it to your computer
Open the mmcstore file using notepad; the password will be displayed.
