Bought phone on ebay for my daughter and I can't figure out what the
lock code is. The old number is erased. I tried the defaults and none
work. Can someone help?
Thanks

When I get a customer on the phone in that situation, I refer them to=20
the store for a software reflash. One of the store techs who frequent=20
here mention a refurb tool. Whatever they do, that's probably your best=20
option.

By "the defaults", I'm assuming that includes:
0000
last 4 digits of the phone number
last 4 digits of your SSN
If that is the case, you'll have to take it into a store. Of course, you
could always try emailing the former owner and asking for the lock code as
well.

I'm 90% sure there is a refurb tool for the 5250, but not 100%. If they
can't erase (refurb) the phone, the will be able to read the lock code
(they can do that for all phones that they support).
If there is no wait, it should only take 10-15 minutes.

All of that software stuff you can do to phones in a store, that's no=20
charge, correct?
That's what I've been told since I've been hired, but I'm interested in=20
hearing it from the horse's mouth.

No charge in the stores for updates and troubleshooting (and
refurbishing).
Some stores may have a long wait if it is available.
