Hi guys, my little one was playing with phone and has locked my phone after doing the pattern unlock. Dont know how many times she has done it.
It is now saying unlock using email address.
I have done the following:
If you have forgotten the screen unlock pattern, you have up to five attempts to try and unlock your phone. If this fails, you can unlock your phone by entering your Google Account user name and password.
1. On the unlock screen, attempt to enter your unlock pattern five times.
2. When prompted to wait for 30 seconds, tap OK.
3. If the display goes off, press the POWER button to turn the display back on, and then press the bar on the lock screen and slide your finger down to unlock the screen.
4. Tap the Forgot Pattern button in the lower right corner when it appears.
5. Enter your Google Account name and password, and then tap Sign in.
When i do this it just says invalid username and password, just does not let me go past that screen i can still receive calls which is good for now.
I have tried turning phone off still same thing.
I dont know wat to do now to gain access to my phone. Only had it 2 days.
I have been online to make sure my email address and passwrod are correct and the gmail address is correct. Could it be a different address, as the only other address i use aint working either.
My internet connection is disabled too, am i totally fecked or can someone please advise best way. MANAGED TO GET INTERNET CONNECTED using hold power button still no good.
Thanks and fast reply would help majorly.

Re: **major screw up help pls**
when you have the login with Google account screen, put your Google mail address in as normally and for the password type "null"
excluding ""
give that a go. it will mean you won't need to reset your phone.
You can hard reset the phone (starts the phone like new - will delete all user prefs and apps contacts etc) and will return it to the state it is in when it's new
Turn the phone off
Hold down VolDown and turn the phone on by pressing the Power Button (keep holding VolDown)
Follow the onscreen instructions to wipe your phone

Same thing still nothing,
Trying to avoid hard reset just got it set right. Anything else i can try b4 i go down that route.
Thanks
Right sussed it, how stuuuuuupid is this, its your username excluding the @gmail.com
So for future if anyone else has this problem, please insert address prior to @ sign and ur password, how strange for them to set it like this, all the time i was entering full email address.
DOH thanks fro the rapid responses by the way fellas.

The only time I know of when you have to use @ in a Google login is if you are using a Google apps account with your own domain, otherwise it is always just your username.

Hey there,
I use 1and1 for my exchange access and they require you to use some sort of security enforcement policy on your phone. On windows 5 I was able to put in a 4 digit pin and set it to only ask me for it after 24 hours of non-use. It also asked me for it on reboot. I keep my keypad locked because there's nothing I hate more than having my phone dial random people. To do this of course, I just held down the end key untill the screen locked. To unlock it, I just pressed the center button on the d-pad and the asterisk key. Everything was peachy.
Well in windows 6, they still require me to enter a PIN in and everything, BUT I cannot change the time in which it requires me to enter my pin to unlock. Additionally, every time I screen lock my phone I have to enter my PIN which is incredibly annoying.
Is there some sort of reg hack that I can fix this with?
No, the point of security enforcement is to protect the device from having sensitive data stolen and as a result these kinds of policies can not be overridden through any fashion except settings on the exchange server. You need to contact 1and1 and ask them to remove this policy, or switch to another exchange provider.
4SmartPhone doesn't pull this stuff.
Thanks for the response, but I don't think I made myself clear enough.
I don't want to bypass the security, I don't care about that.
I just don't want to have to enter my password every time I want to use my phone. Who does that?
Start>Settings>security>device lock
from there you should be able to adjust the phone's lock settings.
whether you want to get round it or not, it is most likely the policy set at 1 & 1's end and they need to adjust it at their end....
it might be that this function on the exchange works differently on the server cos it is windows mobile 6.
As WM6 is optimised for Exchange 2007, it could be a bug in the MS Activesync set up when using these policies on an exchange 2003 SP2 server.
I don't have a WM6 excalibur, but i can test it with an S710 and our Exchange 2007 server if you want....?
One more thought, delete the exchange partnership, and then go into the lock settings. Turn the lock on and set it to 24 hours.
Then go back in and turn it off. the time settings should stay at 24 hours even though it is turned off.
Then set up the exchange server. if you are lucky, it might just stay at 24 hours instead of the OS default of 0 minutes.
Be lucky....
try this:
Enable changing password lock time:
In the registry do the following:
\hklm\security\policies\policies\00001023 from 0 to 1.
i have the same problem with 1and1 using a cavalier with wm6. my real problem is that sometimes at startup the device gets stuck in t9 and will not recognize the numbers in my pin so i have to hard reset the device. 1an1 say they have nothing to do with the security password and will not help
Disable T9
Heh-heh, I never liked the T9 thingie on my T-Mobile Dash/HTC Excalibur. To turn the T9 on and off (toggle) press alt and then press space. This should toggle the T9 function of WM6 smartphones. At least, it did on my Dash.
Now, on with my crusade to unlock my Dash!!...
turning the t9 off is the same on the cavalier, but the problem is that sometimes this test rom decides to turn it back on at start up and other times it does not. it is really pissing me off.
thanks for the suggestion though. i just really need a way to dissable this security password.

The phone gives an error screen and says "unable to perform this operation".
on my wm5 ppc i removed the exchange account yet I can't turn off the pin security. Now thats annoying.

cool that worked thanks!
Before you can change the registry keys, you need to run the "Application and CID" unlock program provided on this site. I did it on my Cavalier and it worked like a charm.
Any ideas anyone?
Hey mtvkilledusall -
Did you ever get this figured out? It is annoying the ****e out of me!!!
I'm the Exchange admin, and I'm considering turning off this "feature" for my device.
Like you, I just want to be able to KEYLOCK the device (so it doesn't dial 911 in my pocket, etc.), but I'd still like to keep the security.
This used to work fine on my MDA. Very annoying.

Same issue here after upgrading from Samsung Blackjack 1 to a Blackjack II, WM6 and 1and1 Exchange server. On top of that, after configuring exchange, my phone also looses the menus quick access numbers. Very frustrating.... Anyone found a fix yet?

I am having a really annoying problem on my phone, I've setup a clients exchange emails on my phone to test it was working and it's forced my device to have a password. I've since then taken his exchange details off, and set the device back up with my exchange server but it's not letting me take the password off.
I don't want any password at all on my phone.
Any help would be good
Thanks,
DJ

from what i read you also need to change the reg entry in HKLM/system/policies/policies/00001023 to change the security of the exchange server on the phone. I may be wrong but i also made that change and it seems to work perfect for me. Phone doesnt lock and the security policy never refreshes. I believe if you do not change this reg entry you are going to still get prompted for a password when you boot up.

Simple... just edit the register at the following
HKLM\Security\Policies\00001023
0 = Enabled; 1 = Disabled
that is actually exactly what zenyee's stayunlock does.
It monitors the regkey and changes it back when exchange touches it.
Manually changing the reg-key does the trick as well, but the exchange server may decide to re-push the security policy at any moment in time. If you are lucky, the server is not set to auto-update the policy every x hours.
The server I sync with unfortunately pushes the policy every 24 hours, so manually changing the key back every time is no option for me
If anyone finds a hack that does not involve a 3rd party progran, i would be interrested tho
Thanks for the replies
I'm guessing a hard reset will stop this too?
Just I've decided to send my phone back to MPD because of the wobbly screen so I'll be hard resetting it tonight.
Does anyone know how to hard reset it?
Thanks,
DJ
Turn the phone off;
Hold start call and end call keys and (short) press power on;
Release start call & end call keys;
Follow on-screen instructions.
Hello TP2 users,
I am a new US T_mobile tp2 user and The MSN password screen keeps popping up and interferes with the use of the device. (wether i check the "Save password" box or not) I dont have the data plan ,only wifi. Sometims when i turn off the phone or the screen and turn it back on it happens too,I have to cancel it each time. All instructions from Microsoft are not of any help.
Anyone else have any ideas? I don't want or need that screen to appear. All other email accounts on the device are already set up with screen names and passwords and work fine.
THanks
up up up
anyone? help
Hi all, I know there are many posts on this, but I have a customer with an i9000 and locked out of phone with pattern, and has forgotten pattern. No 3 button download, and not in debugging mode. so no 3 buttin fix. Am I wasting my time, should I just tell then to send it off to the service centre.

Uhm.. Perhaps you could try adb from a PC and do "adb reboot recovery" and then wipe your phone to default?

If I remember correctly it doesnt work.
But you could flash the 3 button fix - thats a start and maybe ypu can reflash it or something (no idea if it works).
use search function next time, and dont make post in development... its all in the STICKY!
Try to put your gmail login info from all different gmail account you have.
Also try this. Take out battery>wait for 3 hours > but the battery back > press power button for 20 seconds (This method was listed by one guy on other forum).
One guy also mentioned this method.
AGAIN ITS the lamest thing you could ever think of, anyway heres how it goes,
1) Log in to your google account on your pc, the same account you registered for your phone
2) After logging in look at the top right corner of your inbox/email page, it would say your google username. Like say if you name is John, and you have a google id thats registered to your galaxy s as ,[email protected] Now this google id on the top right corner of the page would be displayed [email protected]
3) Type in the google id, thats visible on the right hand top corner of your page ([email protected]) into your galaxy s handset locked page, and type in the password.
TADA AND YOUR ON TO THE NEW SCREEN TELLING YOU TO PUT IN ANOTHER PATTERN.
Thanks
Zoh
If you cant login by computer then go here
HTML Code:
https://www.google.com/accounts/recovery
...And if you don't remember your secret (recovery) question then try the following method (check the link)
EDIT: you can also try this (very helpful to lot of ppl with the same problem) http://www.docstoc.com/docs/39761478...d---Locked-Out
Any way try all the methods and let me know if it works...BEST OF LUCK
or try recover mode and wipe all data
or try
this solution is with thanks to another person on another site...
You need a WiFi connection available for this to work!
1) Call your phone from a different phone.
2) Answer the call. While still connected...
3) Hit the BACK button on the phone (the arrow softkey)
4)This takes you to the home screen (it might take a few attempts, it depends on your timing. It took me 4 attempts)
5)Drag down your notifications bar and turn the WiFi on if it isn't already.
6)Close the notifications bar then hit the MENU softkey, select Settings then "Accounts and sync".
7)Click "Add Account" and select Google.
8)Sign up for a new google account as normal.
9)When the signup process is complete (and it must successfully create an account) you can hang up the call. (Do not sync the accounts)
10)Now when the phone asks you to unlock it using google credentials, use the ones from the account you just created. It will now ask you for a new security pattern, then for the same pattern again to verify.
11)Once you are back into the phone, turn off this "feature" until Google release a fix for the bug.
12)You can now delete the "false" google account which you just created from the phone. You should log into google and delete it from there too really.
13)Now reboot your phone. When the phone starts up and it still says "Phone Locked" don't panic!, Just drag the screen out of the way to unlock the phone, just like you did before you activated the pattern security.
Let's hope the guy remembers his google account details.
Seriously though, if you are not going to be able remember your combination lock..... why make it so complicated in the first place?
Thanks for the copy and paste, yeah I've tried all that, I was just after an opinion from the experts.
But doesn't look like I'm going to get one.
No probs, I'll just get my customer to send out back to service centre.
Tony.

Hi, I just took out this old Xperia S of mine to refresh some memories only to find I have forgotten the PIN. Trying 5 incorrect PIN codes only triggers the 30 seconds wait with no Forgot Password option. It appears that I had not set the Recovery mode as well so I can'rt use that avenue. The only thing I can do from my Gmail account is to just send play the ringtone. I was wondering if I flash a newer firmware as explained here, do you think it will reset my password without deleting my pictures or music etc? Or do you think if there is any alternative way? I am also not sure if the debug mode is on.
