Force restore, also called “hard reset” of an Nokia brand device is necessary when the device does not turn on, shows an error or does not respond and it is not possible to reset it from the device settings.

Keep in mind that force restoring an Nokia device will erase everything on it and you need to know the passkey to be able to turn it back on even after force restoring.

My phone's password was changed,by my so called hackers. I tried to access the menu but it wouldn't let me.I then tried to perform a hard reset and it didn't work. After that all the phone did was flash and it didn't want to turn off.
