Hey there,
I use 1and1 for my exchange access and they require you to use some sort of security enforcement policy on your phone. On windows 5 I was able to put in a 4 digit pin and set it to only ask me for it after 24 hours of non-use. It also asked me for it on reboot. I keep my keypad locked because there's nothing I hate more than having my phone dial random people. To do this of course, I just held down the end key untill the screen locked. To unlock it, I just pressed the center button on the d-pad and the asterisk key. Everything was peachy.
Well in windows 6, they still require me to enter a PIN in and everything, BUT I cannot change the time in which it requires me to enter my pin to unlock. Additionally, every time I screen lock my phone I have to enter my PIN which is incredibly annoying.
Is there some sort of reg hack that I can fix this with?
No, the point of security enforcement is to protect the device from having sensitive data stolen and as a result these kinds of policies can not be overridden through any fashion except settings on the exchange server. You need to contact 1and1 and ask them to remove this policy, or switch to another exchange provider.
4SmartPhone doesn't pull this stuff.
Thanks for the response, but I don't think I made myself clear enough.
I don't want to bypass the security, I don't care about that.
I just don't want to have to enter my password every time I want to use my phone. Who does that?
Start>Settings>security>device lock
from there you should be able to adjust the phone's lock settings.
whether you want to get round it or not, it is most likely the policy set at 1 & 1's end and they need to adjust it at their end....
it might be that this function on the exchange works differently on the server cos it is windows mobile 6.
As WM6 is optimised for Exchange 2007, it could be a bug in the MS Activesync set up when using these policies on an exchange 2003 SP2 server.
I don't have a WM6 excalibur, but i can test it with an S710 and our Exchange 2007 server if you want....?
One more thought, delete the exchange partnership, and then go into the lock settings. Turn the lock on and set it to 24 hours.
Then go back in and turn it off. the time settings should stay at 24 hours even though it is turned off.
Then set up the exchange server. if you are lucky, it might just stay at 24 hours instead of the OS default of 0 minutes.
Be lucky....
try this:
Enable changing password lock time:
In the registry do the following:
\hklm\security\policies\policies\00001023 from 0 to 1.
i have the same problem with 1and1 using a cavalier with wm6. my real problem is that sometimes at startup the device gets stuck in t9 and will not recognize the numbers in my pin so i have to hard reset the device. 1an1 say they have nothing to do with the security password and will not help
Disable T9
Heh-heh, I never liked the T9 thingie on my T-Mobile Dash/HTC Excalibur. To turn the T9 on and off (toggle) press alt and then press space. This should toggle the T9 function of WM6 smartphones. At least, it did on my Dash.
Now, on with my crusade to unlock my Dash!!...
turning the t9 off is the same on the cavalier, but the problem is that sometimes this test rom decides to turn it back on at start up and other times it does not. it is really pissing me off.
thanks for the suggestion though. i just really need a way to dissable this security password.

cool that worked thanks!
Before you can change the registry keys, you need to run the "Application and CID" unlock program provided on this site. I did it on my Cavalier and it worked like a charm.
Any ideas anyone?
Hey mtvkilledusall -
Did you ever get this figured out? It is annoying the ****e out of me!!!
I'm the Exchange admin, and I'm considering turning off this "feature" for my device.
Like you, I just want to be able to KEYLOCK the device (so it doesn't dial 911 in my pocket, etc.), but I'd still like to keep the security.
This used to work fine on my MDA. Very annoying.

Same issue here after upgrading from Samsung Blackjack 1 to a Blackjack II, WM6 and 1and1 Exchange server. On top of that, after configuring exchange, my phone also looses the menus quick access numbers. Very frustrating.... Anyone found a fix yet?

Hi guys,
I hope I can put my question here
My problem is after I synchronized my TyTn with my computer at work, there's automaticly a password lock set for 5 minutes. So If I don't do anything after 5 minutes my screen will lock and he'll ask my password. I have also TomTom on my TyTn and if I'm running it, the screen will also lock after 5 min and when I'm driving my car and want to see the directions on my display and not the password screen
I can't turn off the password in the settings/lock screen. Is there some other way to disable the password screen or change the time from 5 min to 30 min? Maybe through changes in the registry?
Hope anyone can help me!
Greetz,
Sander
My work exchange server requires a 20 minute lock, 5 minutes is ridiculous. if you cant change it on the phone which i would fear is the case, email your company's IT dept and ask them to change that on their end
this is an security feature from wm5 and wm6 !!!
the company can made an Policie that mobile device users have to enter a password, because when you lose your device or it will be stolen, the "finder" should not be able to read company data ....
i work in such a IT dep but we won't and can't change that!!
But as the previous poster said, you can set it higher.
It can be increased but not on a per user/per device basis. It would have to be for all users on the exchange server. Pure speculation, but since they have taken the time to create policy to set it to 5 minutes, I doubt they can (easily) increase the timeout.
like i said the company i work for has their security set at 20 minutes. to have it set at 5 has got to be such a pain in the.....the IT dept has to be able to change that, are they not the ones who control that? have other in your company ask for the same thing and maybe they will see how ridiculous it is to have to unlock your phone every 5 minutes.
exchange keep unlock1
try this works for me
I'm using Zenyee's tool as well, works great.
All you get every day is a little notification that the exchange server has applied security settings, but Zenyee's tool automatically turns the password thing back off. Great!
I work in the IT Dept at my place and they won't listen to me
Great it works!!! Thank you so much!
i have a similar problem where the password is needed at start up but sometimes my device gets stuck in t9 mode so the numeric password does not get recognized. i installed the file from a few posts up, but when i power cycle my cavalier i sometimes have to hard reset my device to get past this password problem. very annoying after the 4th time! is there any other way to disablethis feature? i sync with 1and1.com and i have the time limit set to 24 hours.
thanks

That just worked for me!! Excellent stuff.
Will this have to be reapplied if I sync with my exchange server again??
The Pin thing was extremely annoying for me. Even though I had it set to 12hours, everytime I turned the screen on and off it would freeze momentarily.
They altered the maximum time to 15 minutes here at work, so I can't change it to 24 hours (for example). Where can I change it in the registry ??
edit :
already found it

this worked for me. thank you.
one more step after you change the reg key...
go to the password lock app and unselect "Prompt if device unused for"
nice, very nice. When set this was creating a lag for me as well at power on. It was annoying.
Question. Do you think that my IT department can see this on there end? I dont want to get flagged.
UPDATE: A few hours later I got a message that a "Security Update" is required. Dang, its locked again.

Noone seems to have a solution for this so far:
What happens every other day I sync is, after a long sync time with Outlook2003 on WinXPsp2, ActiveSync 4.5 shows a msg indicating a sync error (10 min or more), and a while later on the HTC there'll be a message saying that due to changes to Outlook, need to do complete resync.
AS4.5 shows Connected and Windows PC: Attention required. On the PDA, it shows Sync date and time with Attention required at the bottom of the screen.
Ok, when I click on Attention required a window pops up "There has been a change made on your server that requires you to re-sync all items on your device....."
Support code: 80883001
And every once in a while, I belive it tries to resync. When this happens, my PDA will sound an alert and there'll a message on the PDA with Yes and No options. The message is similar "There has been a change made on your server that requires re-sync..." But it also says all changes made will be lost.
On the PC, it will show synchonising.
All data are back again after this sync, but you have to reconfigure all Touch-contacts and HTC-home-contacts and all last calls do not show the referring contact anymore.
This seems to be a WM6-Problem, not only Artemis, but I don't know where else to post.
Same problem on a HTC Kaiser (TyTN II). Weird.... Annoying as it requires all my voicetags to be re-recorded and the HTCHome quick dial icons to be reprogrammed.
R
I have the same problem in my kaiser. I will try the "always open ActiveSync" workaround that I found in the following URLhttps://forums.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/showpost.aspx?pageindex=4&siteid=65&postid=2384890&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=1
Hope it works.... If anyone else knows a workaround please post a solution
Did anybody found a workaround for this problem. I believe this is a problem special to WM 6.0 , do you think this is the case? Thx
Never disconnect while synchronizing

This really seems to be the ONLY solution so far - I've had the same problem with B&B 4.3 and before.
the Sync lasted for more than 10 min most of the times.
since I have Bepes 0.53 with Pagepool 6 MB - it works just fine! Sync in 1 min!
Error code 80883001
The same is happening with my O2 branded Kaiser. Seems to only do it when I've been running Sat Nav (Co-Pilot) - that might be a coincidence though
related to Sat Nav?
I returned Co-Pilot and the problem never re-occurred until today! I can narrow it down to the a freeby download that offers to sync the clock on the PDA with Sat-time. Can't remember the name as I've now taken it off. Not sure whether the two events are related, but I'm determined to narrow it down and iy just seems a spooky coincidence that the problem only came back when I installed the freeby... (Co-Pilot, I seemed to recall had an option to sync the clocks too)
i have no co pilot or some other syncing clock...
i have a diamond touch 2 and the same prob and NO workaround
i did read, not to sync email subfolder, i do not sync any email right now, error is still there.
what to do?
80883001 error
I am having same problem - when I try to sync files I get attn required. then about 1 day later I lose all changes since last sync. Any clues?
Thanks

help please, this is driving me nuts!
I am having a really annoying problem on my phone, I've setup a clients exchange emails on my phone to test it was working and it's forced my device to have a password. I've since then taken his exchange details off, and set the device back up with my exchange server but it's not letting me take the password off.
I don't want any password at all on my phone.
Any help would be good
Thanks,
DJ

from what i read you also need to change the reg entry in HKLM/system/policies/policies/00001023 to change the security of the exchange server on the phone. I may be wrong but i also made that change and it seems to work perfect for me. Phone doesnt lock and the security policy never refreshes. I believe if you do not change this reg entry you are going to still get prompted for a password when you boot up.

Simple... just edit the register at the following
HKLM\Security\Policies\00001023
0 = Enabled; 1 = Disabled
that is actually exactly what zenyee's stayunlock does.
It monitors the regkey and changes it back when exchange touches it.
Manually changing the reg-key does the trick as well, but the exchange server may decide to re-push the security policy at any moment in time. If you are lucky, the server is not set to auto-update the policy every x hours.
The server I sync with unfortunately pushes the policy every 24 hours, so manually changing the key back every time is no option for me
If anyone finds a hack that does not involve a 3rd party progran, i would be interrested tho
Thanks for the replies
I'm guessing a hard reset will stop this too?
Just I've decided to send my phone back to MPD because of the wobbly screen so I'll be hard resetting it tonight.
Does anyone know how to hard reset it?
Thanks,
DJ
Turn the phone off;
Hold start call and end call keys and (short) press power on;
Release start call & end call keys;
Follow on-screen instructions.
Does anyone know of an app which will replace the current lock (every time you close) to lock after a certain time eg 15 minutes.
Most of the time lockinging software in the market seems to require a
"Screen unlock pattern" to be set first but the Desire does not seem to have one or it is knocked out when you setup sync to Exchange Server 2007

Menu > Settings > Display > Automatic screen timeout?
You can't set it to dim the display but not be locked anyways, I don't think. Or does Proximity Tool offer that functionality?
No that does not help, once the light goes out you need to enter a password.
If you link to Exchange Server 2007 it forces a policy of a maximum of 5 minutes.
When I am with a client I do not want the screen to stay on too long and flatten my battery but I would like the Desire to remain unlocked for about 15 minutes for each unlock.
maybe a registry edit could fix that?
I've been using Lock Delay for doing exactly this. It's not free, but only costs a few pence I think.

Hm. Have you tried No Lock? It might work, even with exchange. It just bypass the whole slide/pattern thing, but I haven't tried it with Froyo and passwords yet.
Edit: works with alphanumeric passwords. So it should be fine in combination with setting your auto screen timeout to whatever you want it to be.
Timed Lock
NO LOCK works very well, but once you start it your Desire stays unlocked indefinately or untill you turn it off.
This is a bit too dangerous for me, I do need it to lock after a prescribed time say 15 minutes.
Sam
Timed Lock
LOCK DELAY will not work since it demands a "Keyguard Pattern" to be enabled before it will work. My Desire does not seem to have Keyguard.
My Desire does not have Keyguard. I do not know if the Desire comes with it or it is something disabled by connecting to Activesync on Exchange Server 2007.
