No it won't. If you have set a password for the memory card, you should know and remember it (and if you reformat the phone, there is no way to retrieve a forgotten password; search for "mmcstore" & you'll find topics discussing that: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum/search.php).

And, without the password, the phone does not allow the card to be formatted in the phone, either.

The memory card password is a security feature that's there so that the card cannot be used/read in some other device. If it was easy to circumvent, there'd be no point in such a security feature at all.

Format a MMC Card on a card reader! It´s correct now? After do the format of the phone, he can read the card in a card reader, and not in that phone anymore.

if you have not enetred any password for the mmc card then your password is the remote lock phrase that you entered in security....yeah you know the phase that you have set up so that you can lock your phone via sms...

nj7, you can't format the MMC with a card reader if it has password on it. The MMC will not be visible, so you will not be able to format it.

The password, is an OS issue. When format a card in another OS, and with the card reader and Windows, is just another disk. For windows, the password that had was put by symbian is useless. The lost is total, but another OS don´t see the things on the same way.
