Hello guys,
I have a TP2 with T-mobile.The only Update that I've done to it was the Htc update to 6.1 and the 1% increase update. nothing else. Today on my BIRTHDAY, all i did was wake up turned my screen on to type my password in which hasn't changed since I first got the phone, and every time i typed it in and touch on the UNLOCK key, it would say it was incorrect. I know what my PASSWORD is im 100% sure of it..moving on I tried for a few more times and it kept on saying the same thing, So i decided to take the battery off and turn it back on . It started up just fine, I typed in my PASSWORD and touched the UNLOCK Key and Didn't let me go through with it THERE WAS NO !Notification that it was PUT IN incorrect or nothing:/...I did the battery off, and back to On, I Also took the Sim out and put it back in, but still same thing...Thought about the HARD RESET, I pushed it in with the Stylus pen..and when it took me back to the PASSWORD screen, I typed in my PASSWORD and it did the same thing :/. I really don't know what else to do.
I suddenly discovered that my TP2 with a 6.5 ROM which has been working for a while now is no longer accepting my password. This password is the same for all my phones and so i am 100% sure that it has not been changed. Is there any other way i can get past this password screen and clear it without hard resetting the phone?

They do not try to steal anything.
The WM Password system is buggy: the enter button after you have entered your password is not functional (it does not even say wrong password !)
And it is not funny at all, you loose ALL your data because of this stupid Microsoft bug.
If someone has a solution ?
I just had the same damn problem. Does anyone have a solution at all? It happened right as I entered the NY AutoShow and really wanted to take pics. WTF is this nonsense.

I have investigated heavily on this problem.
... unfortunately no other solution than hard-reset (so I did it.. )
And then NEVER reuse this crappy WM built-in password login.
What a buggy POS! Looks like I'll be testing S2U...
THANK GOD I HAVE My Phone! It saved all my pictures/texts/contacts/tasks! All but the only video I had, which luckily wasn't important.
Now just gotta hassle with a hardreset and reuploading contacts.
Thanks Chris for confirming there's no other way.
PS to other people reading- using 1,0000,1234 does not work!
Also: DOWNLOAD My Phone and set it to sync EVERY NIGHT if you have a data plan. Definately is a LIFE SAVER!

I have done the same, I moved to S2U2
It is a slick software... the only annoying thing it that it requires you to slide a cursor EVERY time you turn on the screen !!
that's a lost of time. Having to do that after a certain number of minutes in idle, would have been better. I wonder if there is a solution for this.
That's what I missing from the WM built-in locking feature.

Hi, I am experiancing the same problem with many WM6 ROM's, no matter which WM6 ROM i flashed on my p3600 or on any other p3600 of my friends the same problem occure.
Flashing the ROM is fine, but without any reason, suddenly i am getting the message that the pin code i am entering is wrong (even if its my actual correct pin code)
It happened to me many time on diffrent devices and with different ROM's, all with WM6.
Any one of you experts have experiaced this also and found a WORKING Solution to prevent this from happening?
Is it a WM6 problem ?
How come it does NOT happened in the P3600i WM6 ROM?

Smile For prevent password dissapearing
[!] For prevent password dissapearing u should (you should make this procedure immediatly after first soft reset ):
1. Set up your connection settings (gprs, edge or wifi)
2. Open IExplorer / Set up Ineternet connection / Open some internet page
3. Click Disconnect button to close internet connection
4. Hold power button and turn off your phone
5. Power on your phone.
After that procedure your password wont dissapear. I think that you should repeat the same for mail account (set up mail account / try to send or recieve your mail / hold disconnect button / turn off your phone)
There is another problem: if you change your Owner information and you got a PIN active, the next soft reset the PIN isn't recognized making impossible to enter into the system.
My advice is to not use PIN under WM6 (until microsoft solves these problems).
I've had this problem for a long time.
If I set a pin and do a soft reset, and type in the pin, I get a wrong password error message even though I'm 100% I typed out the right PIN.
Then the only thing left to do is a hard reset.
Read from another thread, and they suggested after you set your PIN for the first time, hold on to the ON/OFF button for about 10 seconds to save your PIN properly.
I've done that for half a day now and resetted a few times already, still OK.
Fingers crossed.

You're quite right joymike123.
Glad you got it sorted.
Just one question: you found this thread that was last updated three months ago (so a dead issue kind of) and resurrected it by replying. Just a friendly suggestion: try to avoid this as it keeps ancient issues towards the top of the forum - making pressing current issues more difficult to find.
Other than that: good, helpful post, thanks.
why do you need to use pin? why not just turn it of? the way i see it, if my phone gets stolen or you misplace it its probably still turned on anyway. just call it up and if nobody answers just call you`re serviceprovider and ask them to kill the sim.

it's not a thief protection. It's for unauthorized use protection. if you're in a workplace where your things are accessible by many, it can't be used by anyone else.
ok. so what we are talking about here is really the screen unlock code and not the sim pin.

i had this happened to me a couple of times, i had to do a reset and lost all my data. i have a Mac and i can't seem to sync my P3600 with Mac. now i just don't bother with the PIN until this bug has been resolved once and for all.
holding down the on/off button is a work around no doubt, but people who owns the phone don't usually assume setting a PIN would cause this headset (i.e. hard reset to re-gain access to the phone). what a pain, indeed!
Hey everyone,
I am having an issue with my TP2.
Occasionally after calls the phone will turn itself off and a message pops up on the screen saying "a wireless radio must be attached to use the phone."
Then about 30 seconds or so (sometimes longer) it will pop back on and be ok.
The happens roughly 3/5 calls i take.
it is annoying, any ideas how to sort it out?
omggg i thought i was the only one...
and sometimes i cant get back to get any
service i have to soft-reset the phone..
is ANNOYING.
yea i have had to soft reset a couple times!
I have installed SPB mobile shell 3 and S2u2 unlocker thing.
Also Garmin Mobile XT.
Dont think any of these should cause any issues, but might help.
i bet the problem comes in S2u2
bcuz i didnt have this problem, it started
after installing S2u2.
interesting.
II have just uninstalled S2u2 and soft reset. i will see what happens.
any news ?
Yea sorry,
have been busy.
'
Well since uninstalling S2U2 i have stopped getting this issue, so thats good.
Guess it must be caused by it.
however it is frustrating without the lock program, and the other few lock apps i have tried are **** in comparison.
So i dunno if i will just install it again and put up with it or what.
it is pretty frustrating man.
Definately send your devices back from wence they came if a hard reset doesn't fix the issue

It is the S2U2 that was making it happen.
after i uninstalled it, then it didnt happen anymore.
Just to be clear, its not the device turning off, just the phone component.
Hi all,
I upgraded my Touch Pro 2 to WM6.5 from the official HTC update, and have been pretty happy with it up until last night.
I'd been using the phone off and on throughout the evening to surf the web, and everything was fine, and then just before bed I went to use it again, and when I tried to unlock it, it told me "The password you typed is incorrect".
I tried again, and the same message. I tried again VERY carefully, and STILL got the same message!
Now my password (pin really as it's numeric) is pretty simple, and I'm definitely typing it in correctly, but it's not working. After a trying a few more times using the qwerty keyboard rather than the on screen number pad, it told me to type in a1b2c3 as a lot of wrong passwords had been tried, and then a bit later it stopped displaying the message at all, and just did nothing when a password was entered.
I've popped the battery out, run the battery down to nothing over night, and still the same.
Searching online, I found this:
http://eten-users.eu/index.php?showtopic=9414
and am wondering if the WM6.5 ROM for the Touch Pro 2 has a similar problem. That said, I didn't have the battery out when it forgot my password...
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, otherwise it'll have to be a hard reset, which will be slightly irksome.
Thanks in advance,
James.
I forgot to mention that the phone is working fine when I receive incoming calls, but I obviously can't unlock it.
Have you considered that you had the caps lock (or symbol) lock on when you first entered your password. If you press Caps shift twice, it locks in upper case?
Yep - checked and double checked that. The main way to enter the pwd is via an on-screen number pad anyway, so I don't think that could be affected, but I did check.
Cheers for the thought though.
I think a hard reset is your only option.

how to do a har reset?
I had a similar issue, I had an Sprite Backup around that i wanted to go back, but by then I didn't have the screen lock feature, I did NOT turn it off before doing the restore, tried hard resetting the device but I'm assuming the security lock wouldn't let me do it either. So by the end i had to flash the rom again and then I ran the restore.
anyways good luck...
To perform a Touch Pro 2 hard reset
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see this message on the screen.
HTC Touch Pro 2 Rhodium hard reset soft reset
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.
This just happened to me as well. Installed the MR2 (WM6.5) upgrade fresh on a handset, installed all my apps, had it working fine for a week. I've used the same password since the beginning, and this morning it simply won't let me in.
This is crazy, right? The phone just picks a different password for you? And I'm assuming there's no way Verizon can unlock it remotely.
If this is happening to other people, it's pretty unacceptable. Anyone else out there having this problem?
I believe WM is set to automatically hard reset if you enter the wrong PIN a certain number (7?) of times?
I've entered about 20 wrong passwords. It just keeps extending the delay before you can try again. Right now I'm at like 18 minutes. Looks like I'll be hard resetting.
Thanks, WM6.5! Really glad you locked my phone for me! Awesome!
I am experiencing the same problem. My CDMA TP2 (Sprint ROM wm6.5/Sense 2.5.2012) ran out of battery and the device turned off, so I put an new battery in and turned it on. It asked me for the password, but the device was not accepting my password regardless of typing it using the on screen keypad or the physical keypad. The device would not recognize my password, and I don't have any weird apps installed. This is obviously one of those Microsoft mistakes that they are too lazy to fix.
Microsoft: you lack ingenuity and don't issue regular and quick updates for your mobile devices, so I will never buy your wm7 phones. How about some customer loyalty: fix this problem and for the phone makers and carriers to issue and new ROM update?
This is not an uncommon problem. I read somewhere else that the installation of Swype might have something to do with it. Did you have that on your phone?

No I did not. I know of the Swype problem too when I installed it on my CDMA TP2 running on the latest official wm6.5 ROM. But this last time, I had never installed Swype, and I am only using Windows Default (Titanium). By the way, I am currently using the latest Sprint Lovers ROM on my TP2 when this problem occurred. Sprint Lovers ROM is a very good and stable ROM with wm6.5.x. I don't have any weird apps installed to cause it to happen.
Why did this happen?? I've had absolutly no problems before, using a customised rom and everything has been very smooth lately, until today, I used my GPS on the way to the beach, so the phone had 14% battery by the time I got there, I switched it off, about 5 hours ago, turned it on, and when I enter my normal screen PIN CODE **4 Digits** it wont work??? why??? i'm trying to reset the device now to like default rom or a different rom, but the problem is it wont connect via activesync unless I put the screen code in.... I am 100% sure i didnt change the screencode or anything... all i done was switch the phone off, and back on a few hours later :S HELP ME PLEASE??!!! I've taken out the battery, sim card, and SD Card and tried without the sim card and SD and still same problem.... Neva had this problem before... what do I do?!! right now ive just taken out everything and leaving it on the table!! PLease HELP ME OUT!!
ps: this is the normal screen lock... from within windows... not a sim card lock or anything... the lock you do from the start menu... just the simple one... still very confused!!! nothings working!!! i enter it wrong a few times and it says enter a1b2c3 to re-enter codes again.... wth??!!
do you have a backup of the device? If so I would try restoring a back up from a few days ago and try unlocking it then. Otherwise I have a feeling that a hard reset is in your future.
hard-reset okay cool, i dont have anything important, ive backed up everything from a few days back, will only lose a few days worth of messages thats all... how do i hard reset? i'm gonna go search, but plz point me towards a link thnx... hope i dont have to return it to manufactorer or warranty or something like that :S
First turn off the phone. Press and hold the pickup and disconnect buttons simultaneously and turn on the phone.
Thnx I found it, all I did was search google for Hard-Reset HTC Touch Pro 2... That was really stupid though how it locked and wouldnt accept my password?? still confused as to how that happened :S
This has just happened to me - switched the phone off for the night and in the morning it won't accept my password.
Anyone else had this problem or know of a solution? Have the cooks ironed this out on their ROMS? (I'm using stock orange ROM).
Hey,
I have a problem with my device (WinMo 6.5) when I want to log in my number code.
I have deffinately not changed any settings before I shut it down last night but when I fired it up tomorrow morning it suddenly didn't accept my number code any longer. No soft reset solved to problem. To be more precise, it shows the four digits in the bar, but when I press the unlock button nothing happens. Instead when I type in a wrong code it indicates correctly that this code is wrong.
So what can I do instead of making it the easy way and start over again?
The worst thing is, that I am sourrounded by classmates with iPhones and you sure know what they were making fun of the whole day...
Thank you guys very much in advance!

Once you get this resolved (which I don't know the answer to I'm afraid)...you can setup your phone to work as a wifi router, and then you can feed all those classmates a solid internet connection when their AT&T service acts the way AT&T service is known to do
Last laugh is the only one that matters!
I am afraid my friend, but I just earned laughter today after I told them that there was no other solution as to hardreset the phone.
I was/am so happy with it because it was very reliable all the time but I still don't know why this error occured?!?!
Anyway as I asked them how they hardreset their iPhones in such a case they couldn't even tell me, so I still stick to my phone.
