Hard Reset, Full Format, Factory Default your N86

1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345

2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)

3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons.

If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.

No matter how many times I try this, I can't factory reset my Nokia 6600 Fold. I press those 3 buttons simultaneously and then the power button but it always asks me if I want to power up the phone without a SIM (or asks me for the PIN code if a SIM is inserted).
