You can format your Nokia N73 device by typing: * + 3 + call + Power on. Before the device is reset, you need to provide the lock code. The default lock code is 12345.

If it is not working try this code:

I WANT FORMAT MY PHONE nokia n73

There are many ways, but in my opinion the simplest one is this one. Note: All your date will be lost, and the phone will be as "Out of the Box" condition, so backup whatever you want.
  • Make sure your phone is fully charged.
  • Backup your contacts list and personal files to MMC memory card (if possible).
  • Switch off your N73 phone.
  • Press and hold these three keys together:
  • The green dial key,
    • The star key (*)
    • The three key (3)
  • Press the power on/off for 1 minute to switch on the N73 phone. Do not let go of the three keys until you see the “formatting” screen displayed
  • Wait a few minutes until the format is complete. Your N73 will now be formatted and restored to its original factory settings.
  • If i was helpful, kindly do Rate!

    3. (3 + * + green call key)
    4. Do not let go till it asks about your location
