Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / June 2005Wipe lock code from phone
I picked up a used Verizon LG VX10 that I was going to activate on my Verizon account but when the phone powers on, it comes up locked. The only call possible is to 911-- and that includes sending *228 to reprogram....gotta have that lock code to send the call. I assume the lock code is the last four digits of the existing phone number-- but I don't know what it is-- and can't access it. I tried the obvious codes like 0000, 1234 and 4321, 1111, etc. Other than try all 9999 possible lock codes sequentially, is there any way to do a "Vulcan mind wipe" to clear it out?

Menu -> 0 is the standard LG programming mode. In my 4400, I think that bypasses the lock code. In the programming menu, there is a reset lock code option, where you enter the phone's mater subsidy lock (usually 6 zeroes with verizon). Once you *228, however, remember that it changes your lock code to your phone number. -MVL >Menu -> 0 is the standard LG programming mode. In my 4400, I think >that bypasses the lock code. If the phone is locked, you cannot get into programming mode. SignatureTo reply, remove TheObvious from my e-mail address. |
