password

i update wm6 but cant remember password is there away i can bypass the password option or reset it? on xda 2s

i have the same problem... my was was 1337.. and as secret question i had LEET ... so i could never mistake.. after 2 days 1337 wont work!
i need some help 2

i bet you guys changed battery without disabling the password check...
and havent read the forum for the same problems until now.
dont worry... i've been in the same situation...
Sad to say...
your password is LOST.
there are NO SOLUTIONS to revive your password.
but there are ways to save your storage data...
WARNING:
like i said it's sad to say because all your
customization will vanish alongside this procedure.
but you can still save some personal data.
SOLUTION:
press and hold the Camera + Record button
soft reset while holding them...
there will be a display of three items with a NO toggled default.
use the Camera button to toggle YES/NO
and use the record button to Cycle thru the menu list.
Hard Reset Using this option
1. - NO
2. - YES
3. - NO
option
this means you're just clearing up your registry
without touching your storage data.
then Press the Mail button
(second button from the left above your green key)
then if you booted the WM6 and inside it...
use some backup softwares to save your
data (SMS/Contacts/Emails/My Documents)
after you have backed up what you want backed up.
Hard Reset again then use NO/YES/YES or NO/NO/YES
to format your storage...
after the hard reset then reinstall everything again...
hope that helps.

Just to cofirm that the same thing happened to me shortly after upgrading to WM6. I was on a train on my way to a really important meeting.... Grrr.
I was just grateful for being able to save my data - the loss of cusomisations was the least of my worries!!
These days I don't password protect my device...

how to unlock htc touch without password

Friends,
I've just joined the forum. My HTC touch has just been locked itself and I can't unlock it because I didn't set a password. I still can receive calls but can't make calls, the screen is password screen, nothing else. I can't shut it down without removing the battery.
I tried PIN, PUK, IMEI, 0000, 1234, etc but didn't work. I tried soft reset but didn't help. Tried hard reset but it didn't reset. I tried the SIM card in other phones, it works, thus, the problem is the device.
Any help will be appreciated...

Flash new ROM

You want to double check about that hard reset. I think you've probably only done a soft reset. A hard reset will reset the machine back and wipe off ALL your data and settings, including the password.
The front screen password of which you are referring to NOT any of the ones you have listed, but instead it is something you would have set when setting up the device.
Have a try with some of your usual passwords

I have tried hard reset (pushing green and red buttons at the same time pushing the reset button with its own pen) but, didn't reset (since there appeared no message on the screen like "the data will be lost"). I think those two buttons are not functional because of password. Every time I tried hard reset it has done the soft one.
thanks anyway

I'd suggest you query this in the HTC Touch forum rather than the General Forum for everything, as they have more intimate knowledge to help you

Hi there, my HTC touch just did the same today. I never set a password.
I contacted my IT guy and he mentioned the following:
Try number 1 once, and then tap unlock.
WORKED BRILLIANTLY!!

The HTC Touch does that all the time.
All you need to do is hold down the Send and End Call buttons down firmly and push the stylus up in the little hole near the usb port (Reset Button) and wait till the screen says that the phone is going to format and all data will be lost press the soft key to continue. Then when it says that press the center button and it will show Fat formatting and Rom formatting. This will erase all data on your touch so make sure you back up.
After turn on the phone and go through the set up and it should be perfectly ok.
You can do this for two reasons.
1. To reset the phone locks.
2. To repair the touch screen if it stops working.
Hope this helps. Enjoy

Dotybizz, I guess the O/P wanted a way to recover without wiping his data. However, due to the security reasons I'm sure you know about often that isn't a suitable option.

Not working

A Hard Reset restores the device to its default settings - the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on the device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
There are 2 ways to perform a Hard Reset on this device:
Menu path
* 1. From the Today Screen, go to Start>Settings.Select the System Tab and then tap on Clear Storage.
* 2. Enter in the password provided on the display of the device (should be 1234) and tap Yes.
* 3. The device will begin the Master Reset Process.
Keystroke Method
* 1. Power the device off.
* 2. Press and hold the Volume Down and Center Navigation Button at same time, do not release.
* 3. Press Power button and hold for a 3 count (quickly - say one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three). 1-2 seconds is too short, 4-5 seconds is too long.
* 4. The screen will instantly show the text to hard reset (this is a white screen with Blue text that provides the next steps to complete the Hard Reset. If you do not get this screen, power the device off and try again).
* o Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data is backed up before proceeding.

So both of you guys/girls are posting on a thread that has no had any activity on almost a year, eh?

re-install touchflo?

i just tried to install a program to change the touchflo cube, touch settings by www.fatattitude.com, but now the 3 tab side is completely blank. is there any way to reinstall the touchflo software? i tried a soft reset and it didn't work. any suggestions?

if nothing else works, a hard-reset will get it back. note,however, that a hard-reset will return the phone to it's original state when you first got it. it will remove everything you loaded to/installed on the phone. perform a hard-reset: while holding down the 'green' and 'red' buttons perform a soft-reset. you'll get a message asking you to press the 'green' send key to verify you want to complete the hard-reset. good luck

Don't hard reset just yet.

use a registry editor and make sure you have values for icon path in the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>MediaHubMini>App1_1 - App1_3

Zoom Bar stopped working

Originally everything worked fine... then I insralled some other version of OPERA. wasn't good for me so I uninstalled it.
NOW the zoombar doesn't work !
can anyone help ?

sounds like you might have to flash it but only if nothing else works. Try restoring factory settings if you can first.

flash what ? the ROM ? I would rather avoid that...
how do you restore factory settings ? Hard Reset ?

sorry, totally didn't mean flash, hard reset was what i meant to say.
on previous windows phones it was done by holding the power+windows+another soft key on the TP2 its probably the back key. but as i said before search the forums first, as i've never done it on TP2 before.

Hi,
Found a similar thing on mine when I tried out the latest version of Opera, 8.65 I think- seems it doesn't have support for the zoom bar.
You could hard reset as follows (from the Wiki)
Hard Reset (This cannot be performed while the device is connected/charging)
* With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see this message on the screen.
* "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press ?VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel."
* Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons.
* Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

However, the original Opera is probably still there, as I discovered by a bit of fiddling about. If you create a shortcut to \Windows\OperaL.exe you should find it works.
Its a hidden file, but I was able to find it using Resco Explorer with the right settings. (running Opera9.exe didn't work for me for some reason, although that seems to be the main program file).
Hope that helps.

How to uninstall Windows 10 Mobile microsoft.ms_reset_protection.mainos... Update

Hey Guys, I'm having problem with reset protection (RP), my device Lumia 950XL have the RP enabled, when I try disable it the device scan my Iris but nothing happens and the RP continues enabled.
So I want to know how can I uninstall the update microsoft.ms_reset_protection.mainos.cbs_93d71397bb0d4aa986bc34ed7e3d3f0917cc54b8.cab. Actually is possible to install this update using iutool.exe, however is not possible to uninstall using iutool.exe
I think, if I uninstall (or reinstall) reset protection update should fix the issue.
If anyone know how to "clean up" the reset protection from a interop unlock device please let me know!
Thanks

If a cab exists on an accessible partiton you should be able to remove it with this guide...You could try to remove the provisioning cab, but I do not know if that will solve your issue. Did you try to disable with a pin or the account pw that setup the reset protection?
