There is a reset button, but only for soft reset i think. Any code to do factory reset for this phone yet?
have you tried 1234
i'm not asking for help to guessing the code. I need help identify the secrete buttons combination to be able to get to the dial pad to enter factory reset code. Or if there are any other method since this one has WM OS.
Yes! you go to start>settings>ststem>clear storage
then enter 1234 and will be promted to clear phone memory as if it was factory reset.

What if I can't get access to the phone?
I have one that I brought yesterday but it has a lock code.
Is there a way to bypass it or reset it?
Hard reset?
Flash?
Thanks
Hold down the Camara + Volume Down + End Phone Call (Power Off) Button all at the same time...
What if the phone is in "Emergency Download" mode? I hit the keys for this to update the Incite but the program from LG didn't work. Now the phone is stuck in this mode. I pulled the battery, pressed the power button, still says emergency download. Tried the hard reset key presses, still says it. Crappy LG.....
When you pulled the battery, was the phone plugged in?

do a hard reset , the only drawback is it will wipe out everything with it. instruction should be in wiki somewhere good luck 2 you
i can't find in wiki section how reset dash t-mobile ??????
If the lock message is NOT "Enter PIN and press Done" when phone is turned on, the following should work.
Phone is off
Press and Hold both soft keys
Press and Hold the Power button for 1-2 seconds
Release Power Button
Don't release Soft Keys
It will give you a prompt to hard reset.
This will not clear a SIM PIN wich will require a PUK recovery procedure.
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

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?
my fd got a i780 in hong kong and try to put in chinese rom failed.anyone knows how to do hard reset with it?
and any rom with wm6.1 eng for i780 ?
Spoke to Samsung today .... and it would appear that the rumours are true and that no -one including Samsung know how to perform hard reset !!
They also confirmed they would not be able to flash update the ROM to UK version for me .... GREAT !!!
I have located a friendly forum member who has a UK working version and is happy to dump the ROM .... but we don't know how to ....
Can anyone help in a step by step approach to dumping ROM and then creating a flashable version I can use?
Any help from anyone Really gratefully received ....
This is too bad.....has anyone tried using a program for Safemode on this ppc?.....perhaps thats the only way to perform a hardreset for those that are stuck on the welcome screen.....because the safemode will kick in when the ppc detects resets in a loop and then thats when you're able to enter the ppc in safemode just like a normal pc......i guess from here you can either uninstall the program that was incompatible or go through start-setting etc etc-hard reset option......anyone here cares to try this and let us know which safemode program they are using and if it works?.....thanks
You can Install RealVGA, and then also the Language Pack.
So you can change the Language of your i780.

Didn't work for me.
I had an idea... Use AEBPlus. Find the software app that does the hard reset and map it to a key combination in AEBPlus. Even is the screen does not work, if you know the password (usually 1234, enter) then this might work as a backup fix until another way is found.

Saw this in PPCSG Forums, maybe you could try this...
"Can someone try if the below steps can cold reset the I780???
1. Remove the storage card from the device, if one is
present.
2. With phone powered off:
Press and hold both the left and right softkeys.
While both softkeys are held down, press and
hold until the unit powers on.
3. As the device begins to power on, release both
softkeys.
Note Once the phone powers on, you should see an
onscreen alert message (a white screen with blue text).
If you do not see this screen, let the device power up
normally, turn it off again, and then repeat steps 2 and
4. Immediately after the alert screen appears, press
the left softkey.
5. If the reset was successful, the device displays a
pop-up message stating the device is currently
reformatting. This process can take several
minutes. Allow the process to finish without
interruption."

This will delete all the data on the phone, but will allow you to use it. From the HTC website:
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
Press and hold the VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN and END CALL/POWER buttons.
When you see a warning message on screen, press the VOLUME DOWN button to perform the factory reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
After factory reset is complete, press the VOLUME DOWN button to restart your phone.
