Read the "Microsoft Windows Mobile Version 5.0 I can share" topic. There is a method to hardreser WM2005.
WM2005 Hard Reset
WM2005 Hard Reset
Press power putton
Then press Record Button
Then Press Camera Button
Then with Stylus press Reset Button
Use the recorder button and the camera butoon to scroll and change values.
After this you will see 3 options(no backlight).
1 Kit = YES ------------------ change this to NO
2 Register Hive= No ---------should remain NO
3 Storage = No --------------change this to YES
after this press the big round button between the call and call end buttons to SAVE. Device Restart, then wait.
You have successfully hard reset your PPC.
Re: WM2005 Hard Reset
I'll explain this menu.
1. Enables the debugging mode of WM2005. I have not played with that, it needs PlatformBuilder to be installed on PC.
2. Clears the registry hives to their default values. I have not tested that, but it should work like hardreset but will keep all modified files.
3. Format the storage. This would also reset the registry because it is contained on storage. Similar to hardreset in previous OSes.
It is rather difficult to press all these buttons without someone's help.
easy
easy... :roll:
:arrow: put the xdall in the table, insert the stylus in reset sw then make your belly or your stomach or whatever to support/push it,
:arrow: left hand hold the on/off sw and record sw
:arrow: and right hand thumb pressing the camera sw and the same time hold or support the device
:arrow: then push it all and count to ten....
hahahaha...just like you are going to acrobatic position.
But i did that.
Yesterday I installed the following .cab on my wizard:
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1137
When I finished the insallation my qtek was freezed. And it did not function any more....
I really want to do a hard reset but my phone can't connect to active sync anymore....
Does anyone have a solution for this problem???
Thank you in advance.....
If the device wont boot any more, the only thing you can really do is a full reset.
I assume you've already tried a reset?
That is the problem.... my device cant connect to active sync aymore... and I dont know another way to do a full reset...
You should have the clearstorage program on your phone. Run that, and it'll hard reset you. There's a button combination as well to do the same, but I don't have a wizard to tell you it. Check the wiki or use search.
V
- Switch off your device
- Press and hold the Comm Manager and Voice Dial button
- Switch on your device (while holding those 2 buttons)
- Press the Send (green button) key to give it a hard-reset.
Good luck.
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...
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...

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

I tried but fails. Can you advice something more. I need it badly man.

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?
Hello.
I'm trying to give my BA a hard reset.
Getting in the debuggers screen is no problem but leave it is a problem!
When i set the options right i have to push the mail button to leave the menu but nothing happened when i push this button.
How can i leave this menu and apply the hard reset ?
So for now i can't do anything with my phone because i have to give it a hard reset after upgrade to WM6.1.
Thanks.
Sorry this isn't a solution,but I can't hard reset with POWER+RESET,it just resets normally,but leaves all the rubbish on I'm trying to get rid of,so I would really like an alternative reset method.Help me too!
Just minutes later I found this,which formats BA:
1) Camera + Record + Reset
2) Enable KITL NO
Clean Reg Hive YES
Format Storage YES
3) the action button on the middle of the direction pad
(the action button in the middle of the direction is not working but the button which is is the Message Button)
I had to do this because POWER+RESET doesn't work on mine-hurrah,I am happy again!
