If anyone knows how to hard reset an LG-2000 cell phone, let me know. My daughter has forgotten the PIN code to this phone. There doesn't appear to be anyway to reset this phone back to factory settings to clear this. We even went to the Cingular store and got no where. They told me to throw the phone away. Basically, the phone is now a $169 paperweight. Incredible. Thanks, LG.

Update: 9/25. It turns out that I got bad advice from the Cingular store that I went to, and LG is not to blame. I went to another store and they were easily able to unlock the SIM card. Again, incredibly, the first Cingular store I went to told me to throw the phone away. Wow, how incredbly knowledgeable these reps are....

We went to a different Cingular store and found a rep that knew how to do it. The PIN is on the SIM card.

I have the same situation. I have an LG phone that has a PIN that I forgot. Do you know how they reset the phone, or do you think I would need to go to the store. Did you go to a Cingular store or somewhere else? Also did they reset the phone or the actual SIM card?
