Bypassing lock code on Nokia phones

I managed to forget the lock code I set on an old phone of mine, and of course I had also set the phone to lock itself when a different SIM is used. Luckily the lock code can be bypassed using a Master Security Code, which can be obtained using the phone's IMEI at, for example:

Just use the master security code you get in place of the lock code, and you can get the phone started, disable the SIM lock and get the lock code changed.
