    Good Morning everyone, I have a Samsung A437 and I have forgotten my password. I normally don't use a password on this phone since it's only for home and not my office. I have spaced out and can't remember the password and I can't use my work cell phone to make personal calls. Is there a master password reset option I can do with this phone? Or am I totaly screwed. Any suggestion and or help would be greatly appreciated. I am departing for my bussiness trip soon and I can't call back to my friends and family until I unlock the darn thing. My wife thinks I am doing it on purpose, but no one wants to be locked out of their own phone "ON PURPOSE". Thanks everyone.

    Non accepted sim card is the sim card does not belong to who carry the service for your samsung phone. For example if your samsung is AT&T phone, you have to put whatever sim card dos not belong to AT&T
    By the way my nick is porto35 not proto35, but thanks anyway to put my name in your thread

    dragon2k8: Did you set the password yourself. if you did, give me some time to see what I can do. A437 is fairly new and I don't see any firmware available right now. If you bought your phone from AT&T in US, you just go and buy $10.00 prepaid card for the phone and call AT&T requesting them to help you resetting your phone.

    Yes I bought the phone myself and I locked it myself. My wife thinks I am doing it on purpose so I can't use my phone roflmao. I would like not to have to go to AT&T and give them more money but if that's your advice, Roger that!. I don't have any other sims cards in my home from other providers. Also, in your code are the (*) used as separators or do I have to use the star buttons??? I am hoping that I can just use the master reset password code that someone will provide and dishes would be done and I can finally make everyone happy again. So I am just basically standing by for more assistance. Thanks for everything.

    just key exactly from the instruction. * is the key *. Hope that you can master reset ur phone. I've never tried it (and I do not want to) I don't know that you can reset or not. But requesting AT&T reset is the surely way.

    Thanks again for all this help, time is running out for me :), So can I just use your reset code without finding another sim chip? There was a sim chip I think that came with the phone when I originally bought it. Can I use that SIM chip and use that code and unlock the Phone?

    Thanks

    I mean with another sim?. You cannot unlock by using AT&T SIM. You do not know anybody (friend, neighbor, co worker...) to borrow the SIM (Tmobile...)for 5 minutes to unlock ur phone.

    Hi,
    If I put T-Mobile "active" sim card in, in order to unlock my Samsung SGH A437 phone. Will it kill my SIM card? Will My Tmobile sim card still work with my Tmobile phone?
    Thnak you,
    Howard

    Hi Porto,
    I followed your instruction and ALMOST got it. All locks are inactive EXCEPT Network lock:
    5. AND THEN *#7465625# to check the locks....all locks are inactive...these are all the locks...
    network lock - active
    subset lock - inactive
    sp lock - inactive
    cp lock - inactive
    sim lock - inactive
    activa lock - inactive
    phone lock - inactive
    auto network - inactive
    auto subset lock - inactive
    auto sp lock - inactive
    auto cp lock - inactive
