Help has arrived agaw! All you need to do is dial *228 (send) option 1 to re-activate the phone and then the passcode resets to the last 4 digits of the mobile number. Please try this and let us know if you have any further questions.

I want to donate my Samsung Brightside to a charity.  How do I do a factory reset of it, which includes erasing my phone number from it.
