The only option if you have forgotton your password is to perform a hard reset.

  1. Power off your Nokia Lumia 900.
  2. Press and hold the Volume Down and Camera keys simultaneously, and then press and hold the Power key until the Nokia logo screen goes black.
  3. Release the Power key but continue to hold down the Volume Down and Camera keys until the phone reboots.

    Hello rosalieross305505:

    Thank you for posting to the forum.  If you are not able to reset your phone with the steps provide by Jack, you might want to try the following steps.  I believe these are the same steps provided by Riley in the last post before yours.

    • Make sure your phone is charged (put it on charger to be sure)
    • Press and hold the volume down + power buttons until your

    phone vibrates and restarts.

    • When the Nokia Logo appears, press the volume down button repeatedly until

    an exclamation point appears.

    • As soon as the exclamation point appears, press the following buttons one at

    a time in a sequence:  Volume Up > Volume Down > Power > Volume Down

    If you still cannot get this phone reset the only other suggestion I have is to contact Nokia.  They may have other options for you or you may have to ultimately discuss phone replacement options.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

    Mark W.
