Contact Nokia. The purpose of a lock code is to securely lock your device. Nokia can unlock it.

Reflash your phone, it disables the lock code prompt but does not reset it - once you've reflashed you can then extract the lock code and run it through a brute force / dictionary app to reverse it (like John the ripper)

I'm glossing over the details, but essentially that's the summary of the threads posted by fahadj2003

If you are able to connect your phone to the computer via usb follow these steps-

Download and install the official Nokia flashing software from the link below. Go to file menu>manage connections. If you see USB already in the list, then exit this dialog box else add USB by clicking on New and select USB. Connect you N900 to the computer. Now in the Testing menu select Factory Reset. Using this you can reset the security code.

If you cannot connect using the USB, flash you N900 using the Maemo Flasher. Just flash the rootfs. Now use phoenix to reset security code.

I wondered if you've installed openssh server by chance? If so you might be able to login to the device and issue the following command to unlock it:

Code:
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.system_ui /com/nokia/system_ui/request com.nokia.system_ui.request.devlock_open string:"com.nokia.mce" string:"/com/nokia/mce/request" string:"com.nokia.mce.request" string:"devlock_callback" uint32:'0'
