pin locked windows phone 7

[Jcmg62]

Hi All, hoping you can help me.

I have an old HTC 7 trophy. I borrowed it to a family friend a few months back and she created a pin to lock the phone. When she handed it back to me she forgot to unlock the phone and now she cant remember the pin.

Any suggestions on how I can unlock/reset the phone?

Ask the carrier for the PIN, they might charge you a little.

Why would the carrier know the PIN?!

They know the default pin&puk of every sim

In India, we can get PIN n PIN2 from carrier.

I got into the same problem myself years ago.

Use the Nokia software recovery tool. That will reset the phone to windows 8.0 as factory setting

AFAIK, PIN is stored on the SIM card, not the phone (and as long as the OP doesn't confuse between the PIN in the SIM card and the passcode on the phone!)

This worked perfectly thanks. My daughter had put a pin on the phone and I had no way of getting into to the settings to reset it. Can't thank you enough mate
