I have bought a cingular 8525 smartphone on ebay and the phone has a personal password in order to log on, and I have no clue what the personal password is as well as the person who sold it to me. If you have any idea how to crack the personal password please post the instruction on the forum other wise this phone will stay on my shelf as a display for its entire life.
Hard-reset it, then you can use it.
unlock personal password
What do yo mean hard-reset it ?..... would you mind to be more explicit and that way I know what to do in order to unlock the personal password.
Thanks
Akele
Typically, in order to hard reset, you have to hold down BOTH soft keys while you soft reset.
So, hold down both SOFT KEYS and poke the stylus thru the little whole on the side of the phone.

I DONT KNOW UR UNIT...MINE IS XDA IIS...BUT IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH PASSWORD...IF APPLIED TO MY UNIT...
ABOVE SOLUTION IS APPLICABLE TO WM2003 WHERE ALL DATA IS STORED IN RAM.
BUT HOW ABOUT IN WM6? I HV JUST UPGRADED TO WM6 3DAYS AGO...THEN SUDDENLY...WHEN I TURNED ON MY DEVICE AND ENTER MY PASSWORD...PASSWORD WAS NOT ACCEPTED!!! TRIED TO RESET....NOTHING HAPPENED...TRIED TO FLASH THE ROM AGAIN BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET AROUND? HACK? ETC? PLS HELP. TNK U VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE.
MY UNIT: XDA IIs with wm6 from Helmi
maria_terie: obviously, it's because you seem to always leave "Caps Lock" on, probably while you entered your password as well.
Same happened with my XDA2s but just following the instructions below help me fix the problem, hope it might help you too..
1) Use two fingers to simultaneously press the RECORD and CAMERA buttons of the phone (on the phone's left side). Whilst these two buttons are depressed, use the stylus to click the soft-reset button underneath the phone - keep the two buttons depressed until the boot loader screen appears.
2) This should enable three options on the boot screen. These options allows a YES/NO response. Use the RECORD and CAMERA buttons to navigate between the options, and switch the YES/NO values. Set the following:
1] Enable KITL: NO (this is a debug tracing option which isn't required, except possibly for developers)
2] Format Registry Hive: YES (clears the registry)
3] Format Storage: YES (formats the internal memory: "\" directory, and under "\RamDisk\". Items under any storage card "\Storage Card\" are not formatted).
3) Once these options are set, press the MAIL button (in between today and the Pocket IE button) to confirm these options, and continue with the Registry and Storage format.
4) The device performs the reset, and the Windows CE setup screens (ie. screen alignment etc.) appear. Continue as per a new install...HOPE IT HELPS YOU!

This might have been posted before, but it works so well for me I thought I'd point it out.
On my orbit, ever since I stopped suspending the device (using the power button) and instead simply locking it before putting it in my pocket, I have not had a single problem with microSD corruption (it was happening every couple of days before that). It's a pain having device lock on the today screen though, and with this you don't need to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=261277
you map a hardware button to activate the device lock. Works perfectly. soft reset after install, then goto settings --> personal --> buttons and map "device lock" to whatever button you want. Customize behavior in
settings --> system --> device lock.

Tnx for the tip .... users will find this useful.
sort of...
I tried this but my machine wouldn't wake up properly, I think one of the messages on the link refers to this problem and there might be a fix.
You can set a buton to lock and suspend your device which I thought was perfect as it seems that the corruption happens when ou turn the device off while it is writing to the card. Sadly, as I said, my device wouldn't swtich back on again and had to do a soft reset to get it back on.
Hello,
I have big problem, i changed registry entry in HKLM\DRIVERS\TOUCHPANEL\PreassureThreshold was about 6000 and i use 1200 now my screen does not react ((
How can i fix it?? pls i need fast help
you have to do a hard reset.
playing in the registry can be danguorus.
but with hard reset you set back your registry too.
Can you still navigate by using your hardware buttons?
If so, you could start the touchscreen calibration:
Press the windows-icon-button, use the D-pad to move to "settings", and press enter/center button. Go to "system" and then to "screen", there you can choose "Align Touchscreen".
Hope the names are correct, I'm using a german WM6.
And I hope this helps...

thx guys but i have made hard reset, the real problem was that my ppc had a digital blokade, and i could do nothink cause to unlock it was need workin touch screen all stuff deleted, no back-ups (( its my first ppc
Now i know, play with my ppc can be dangerous :]
No playing with your PPC isn't dangerous!!
Playing without a proper backup is dangerous!
Could anyone offer any advice? I intalled a pocket pc 2003 app on my orbit without realising the consiquences!
System details:
xda orbit
WM6
Meschle - Artemis touch 2.1 WWE
I installed a remote pda control app to the device. It then asked me to do a soft reset,which i did.
Now the phone wont start up. It just hangs at the end of the rotating cube splash screen.
I've tried various resets inc reoving the battery - no joy.
I know you guys and gals know all there is to know about these things so any advice would be great.
i had a similar problem after installing a piece of software. Ended up doing a hard reset (hold down two soft button, and press reset with stylus).
WARNING!!! - YOU WILL LOOSE ALL DATA STORED ON PHONE!!!
anything stored on SIM card or SD card will not be deleted
Hope this helps.
thanks for the reply.
when i do the hard reset, it tells me to press the 'send' button to proceed.
Does anyonr know which button it means?
Sorry for being so thick

Hi.....
I have an wm6 xda with a broken mail button and I'm trying to hard reset it for upgrading. Is there a possible way to do the upgrade with the button while using windows 7 (using WMDC) or I need XP to do it.
Another problem with my BA is
1. If I slide it up, the screen will be distorted and will fade to white.... (Is this a Hardware problem??)
2. My stylus always point is not accurate in one point (the right side).
Are you trying to do the hard reset before or after you flash the ROM? You enter the bootloader first(Record + Power + Reset) Then flash it. Then after its done you press power + record. That should be it. You only need the mail button to do a wm6 hard reset without upgrading the ROM
1. That sounds like a hardware problem
2. Maybe try aligning your screen. If that doesn't help it could also be a hardware problem. How much is it off by?
that is not true, after upgrading you need to hard reset the device, and for that you need the mail button, because after you upgraded and entered the hard reset menu by pressing power+reset+record+camera you set the options right by flipping them all, using the camera and record buttons and then confirm your choice by pressing the mail button.
but i agree about the other problems:
screen - hardware issue
touch - align screen
just my 2 cents
I had to turn off my Htc Tilt 2 because t froze (I do this all the time by the way) But this time when I turned it back on, the lock screen wallpaper was a different color, and when I tried my password it didn't work, Now I;m not retarded (In know my password and I tried to eneter a lot of times) and I even tried "0000" cause that's ususally the default password. I also tried to hook it up to the computer to reset it or soemthing and I cant use it on the computer cause I have to unlock the phone first (Prett stupid) And I tried to soft reset it (Take the battery, press the reset) and that didn't work, What do I do?
I had the same issue....after many attempts to fix w/o a hard reset, I realized it was my only option...
To perform a Tilt 2 hard reset
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see message on the screen.
2. Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Yep, hard reset is your only option. There are many, many reports of TP2/Tilt2 mysteriously forgetting unlock passwords. Personally, I wouldn't use one with this phone.
Next time use a different lock app like S2U2. If you require enterprise level security on your device, then don't use it. As a general lock, it's wonderful, though.
