A: Open Command Prompt and run ping <server_domain> (find the domain by using a network monitor like Wireshark or by asking the tool’s support). If ping fails, it’s a timeout. If ping works, it’s a credential issue.

Right-click the Unlock Tool executable file and select Run as Administrator to grant it full network privileges.

If you are getting persistent "server timeout" errors on a free or cracked unlock tool, stop. These are often malware in disguise. Legitimate unlocking requires a server connection. If the tool says it can unlock offline without a server check, it is likely stealing your data.
