Hi.
I need your help.
I have had a TOMTOM 520 since Christmas. I have not used it much recently.
My family and I are going on vacation this Friday to Spain. I got my TOMTOM out of the closet and connected to my laptop as I want to buy the Spain/Portugal maps before we go. However, it seems my wife set a password the last time she used it and although she is sure she used the same number as her credit card PIN number, the TOMTOM will not accept it. I dont' know whether this is because there is a problem with the TOMTOM device or my wife is mistaken. I have contacted TOMTOM and they have said that I should return it to them to have the password 'Reset'. Unfortunately, it is now Monday Night/Tuesday Morning and we Fly on Friday so I will not get it back in time.
I fully understand that forum members are protective about revealing a method of bypassing the password and rightly so. I do not know how I can prove to you that I am a genuine TOMTOM owner... I could send a picture of my boxed TOMTOM with all documentation and leads so you know it is not a 'smash and grab'. If you think I have stolen it and choose not to reply then I respect your decision with no hard feelings. If you believe I am a genuine TOMTOM owner who is only days away from picking up a hire car in a foreign country, I would greatly appreciate your help. You can email me any information that may help me and so not reveal any 'secrets' to a wider audience. Thanking you in advance, Gary
