    I've lost the note I made of the PIN for my HDW-2 and need to get a
    replacement pin to get it to work with my PC. I've tried calling the Nokia
    helpline and they just hang up rather than take a call, and I've emailed
    their customer service department - who haven't replied. I've searched the
    groups via google and see that others have had the same problem - but
    apparently with no answer. Can anyone tell me how to find the pin? If it
    helps, it is still paired to my Nokia 6310i, can I read the PIN from that,
    somehow?

    Many thanks, David

    Ivor,

    >> It's printed on a label underneath the battery..!<<>



    I've tried that and can't get it to pair. There are quite a few numbers
    under the battery...I'll take the risk that the Mafia aren't going to
    descend on me to steal my earpiece, and publish them here in the hope that
    you or someone might recognise the appropriate code!

    C3BA2E
    4587
    KK46
    NFC: 12056
    NPC: 0694113

    That's reading from top to bottom off a silver label. There is a strange
    pattern on the top left corner of the label that looks like some sort of
    cipher. The only other letters on the label are 'CP'

    I've tried pairing with them all and no luck. Any idea how long the code
    should be and whether it is alpha or numeric?

    It's really odd that they should have designed the product like this -
    normally I leave codes in the default condition and don't have this
    nonsense!

    Thanks for your help, David

    It's a 4 digit number, so I'd guess it's 4587 from the numbers you quote.
    If it isn't that, I don't know. The code is also printed on a card that
    comes with the headset, it's usually sellotaped to the front of the
    manual. No sign of that, I suppose..?!

    No, I bought it a couple of weeks before we moved house and it might be in
    store, or it might have been thrown out. There must be some way to get this
    code but Nokia don't reply to emails sent via their website to their
    customer support address.

    Thanks again, David

    I'm assuming you've tried 0000?

    There are 2 types of HDW-2, the first one had the PIN (which was random)
    printed on the label that sealed the instruction manual, the recent
    version's PIN is 0000.

    Hope this helps.

    The number is printed on a sticky label under the cover where the battery
    is.

    Well that *is* secure, isn't it..?!! What's the point in having a PIN at
    all if it's set to 0000 with no way of changing it..? My CK-1W car kit is
    the same.

    I'm not sure that security is any big deal. If thieves steal the device it
    is as likely as not that it will not have influenced the theft and you'd
    have lost it anyway. Except, maybe, in an office environment where you'd
    have to carry it around with you or lock it in a brief case?

    The wholw point of a PIN is to stop others having access to the device. If
    the PIN is permanently set to a default, which everyone knows, it's
    worthless.

    Yes, indeed. I think the question is whether a PIN has any merit for a
    product such as the HDW-2. If it does in some cases then it would be best
    for a simple default such as 0000 to be used and provision made for
    allocating a specific code if the user requires that. There is no provision
    for a code change with this product, however, which seems an oversight.

    Coming back to my specific problem, I suspect that the default of 0000 came
    about after many people lost their PINs and needed help; in which case it
    would have been sensible to have written the PIN in the battery compartment
    or published it on the Nokia website. The good news is that this thread
    comes up on a google groups search on relevant search terms so hopefully
    those who come later will be able to get the answer quickly.

    Thanks for you help, Ivor,

    David
