Hello, I have an old Lumia 800 phone with screen lock. My problem is that I can't remember the code. What can I do?
Is it possible to reset the handset? Regards Steen

Oh yes it's possible to do a factory reset on your 800. All you need to do is turn off your 800.

Then after that press these keys:

Volume Down+Camera+Power, release the Power but keep holding the Volume Down and Camera button for around 5 seconds.

Your phone will now be factory resetting without prompting you, of course you will lose everything so hopefully you don't lose to much.

Hi Again. Thanks for your help but it doesn't solve my problem, the screen lock is still there... :-(. Shall I through the phone in the garbage?

You can reinstall OS with Nokia Care Suite and modified usergroupconfig.cfg (just google)
After that, screen lock should be wiped completely.
