OK. Of course it must be an ARM OS not some random Knoppix image... In terms of the original question, for ordinary mortals the answer seems to be "write it down and keep it safe, unless you know a wizard" spiced with "but don't use a sensitive number, because a wizard can read it". Until someone places a foolproof 1-step rescue image on the Web and documents exactly how to install and boot it. I presume one might copy an image to the SD card over USB then use the Nokia flasher to boot it. Andrew
