Phone: N73 (S60 3rd)

I updated my firmware, and after my phone reset i got asked for a password for my memory card, which i dont remember. so now im locked out and i didnt get round to backing it up, i really dont want to loose my music, pictures & videos.

I have searched for ways around but it seems pointless. i heard on other nokias (S60 1st & 2nd) you can just copy a file called "mmc store" from your phone to the PC (using one of the few file manager programs, eg. SExplorer) and change it to a .txt document, and that contains the password. However i dont think you can with the N73 (S60 3rd). I searched my N73 with SExplorer and that file doesn't exist.

So, i thought i could use a card reader on my pc and use a brute force password cracker to retrieve the password. So i went out today and bought a card reader, brought it home, got it connected, entered my miniSD, and nothing happened. My computer couldnt find it. my n73 finds it and asks for the password, but the pc does not.
Does anyone know a way around this?
Is thr any programs that will find it via the card reader?
What can i do?
Thr must be a way around this.

Can anybody help me or point me in the right direction?

Kind Regards,

MLD

ok. I downloaded F-recovery for miniSD & BadCopy Pro, among many other file recovery programs for memory cards.

Now, my pc doesnt see the card when plugged into the reader, however when i run a recovery program, it does see the card in the reader!

So i ran a recovery (on all the programs) but they come back with nothing as if the card is empty and has never had any data on it.
This must have something to do with the password protection on the card.

But if these programs do know the card is thr, that means it is possible to get access to it, right.

The password must be stored on the miniSD somewhere, just like on S60 2nd phones a file is created called mmcstore that contains the password. Might it be possible to extract the password from the miniSD? or bypass it somehow? or even remove it? is thr any type of programs around that are capable of doing any of this?
