    Well
    I am using Nokia 6303 classic..
    It was with it i created the password on my microSD card.
    The night i was creating it was a very very rough one…it has been almost 6 month now i got locked out from my microSD card…i could have remmeber the password through ‘wikihow suggestions’ but when inputing the password it was changing to *** on every ‘personal info’ i was inputing.
    I have tried all i can to think so hard…focus so hard for about 3hrs ‘computing all other password i do use else where…it’s still ‘password incorrect’.
    I am just patiently waiting ’cause i am a music freak and i got the feelings (FExplorer and X plore) would help solve my qualms.
    The main problem i have now is
    i got no symbian phone.
    So goodluck my fellow co qualms!
