How to remove password protection???

I tried to set up my orbit to sync with works exchange server and it ended up applying some security setting making me set a password. Now i've got rid of the sync relationship i still have this password control. I've been in the 'lock' settings and the check box to untick is greyed out!
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this annoying thing so i don't have to type in a password every 5 seconds!!???

Syncing over GPRS doesn't work

Gents,
in our company, syncronising over the air (via GPRS) is setup in such a way you have to enter the code of SecureID prior to connecting.
However, after having all configured properly, I'm not being asked for this 6-digit code code, as it immediately tries to connect.
For some strange reason (on which our helpdesk have spend quite some time now) the checkbox "save password" remains checked, while it should'nt as the password is a code that changes every 2 minutes.
Is there a registry-entry somewhere to enable this "save paswword" ?

Undo password

Today i set up my orbit to sync with my work email and calender. Everything worked brilliantly apart from my orbit forcing me to enter a password in the 'Lock' function in settings.
So every time i turn on my orbit i am prompted to enter my password, this realy annoyed me so i deleted my work email account hopeing to un-prompt the password every time i turn on the orbit.
In 'Settings' 'Lock' the prompt if unused box will not untick.
Any ideas apart from a hard reset?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Mark.

Hi,
Change the 'password type' to: Simple PIN.
This would allow you to untick the 'Prompt if device unused'

Thanks Kiwi, but ive already tried this and just tried again. When i select Simple Pin, it will not allow me to enter a simple pin password or uncheck 'Prompt if device unsued'.

Hi,
I'm surprised to hear that your problem still persists.
Personally, I haven't synchronised my work e-mail and calendar. However, the suggestion that I made was exactly what I did when faced with a similar problem to yours and it worked for me.
Maybe it's got something to do with the synchronisation. What do you think? The Exchange Server at your place of work, perhaps.
I don't think that simply deleting your e-mail account on your device (as you did), would make much difference. Remember that you've already synchronised the device: e-mail account, password and all, with the Exchange Server.
Here's my suggestion:
1. Synchronise (again) with Exchange Server, re e-mail and calendar.
2. Now enter a 'Simple PIN' password (note: if the system would not allow you to use a Simple PIN password, enter a 'Strong alphanumeric' password).
3. Try to access your e-mail or calendar (you should be able to). This is just to test it.
4. Exit your e-mail or calendar
5. Now, de-synchronise
6. Finally, go into your device and change the password type to 'Simple PIN'
7. Then, untick the box next to 'Prompt if device unused'
I think that doing a hard-reset should be a last resort 'cos you need to know how to deal with this problem, for the future.
Let us know what's happening.

Thanks again kiwi, i would try your advice but have already hard reset device after a few days of frustration in entering password just to use device. Im not bothered anyway about using my own device for work email. I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305859&highlight=undo+password and decided to hard reset.
I may (when i get around to it) try my exec with work email and calender and then follow your advice.
Cheers.

Hi,
Glad you are sorted.
At least we were thinking on the same lines as the thread to which you referred.

Internet,GPS, and MMS For Metropcs

I flashed the new rom 6.1 from HTC for sprint and had to reflash back to metropcs. Now when I try to access the Internet I get and error message that says " Requested content ( to any website ) cannot be accessed. You don't have access to the site. Now I have the internet plan and I have done all the step from this site to configure the settings. Can someone Please help me to get the internet, gps, and mms back? Please

Did you try calling then because they may have re-initialize your phone.
Are you sure in the connection settings that you have the correct user name & password?

Yea I think so user name is my ten digit @mymetropcs.com and password is metropcs

Metro pcs internet settings
Are you able to access your "connections" settings?
Under connections chose manage existing connections.
Make sure it dials #777.
As with EVERY phone used on MetroPCS, set your username to [email protected]
The password can be anything or empty.
Now in proxy settings, make sure you check "this network connects to the internet" and "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet".
In it's advanced settings, enter wap.metropcs.net as the proxy address, then set HTTP, WAP and SOCKS to port 3128. Secure WAP to port 443.
Load Internet Explorer, in the url/address box enter the address you wish to load. It might fail, reload.. Make sure your data arrows show that you connected.
The page should load the 2nd time.. It almost always fails the first load.. Reason is posted on another thread, but it doesn't matter..
Have fun..

So how does this work for the Palm pre?. =)

Unable to browse to secure sites

I just receieved my TP2 yesterday from mobilephonesdirect (with a T-Mobile contract).
I've run into a problem with trying to browse to secure sites or access my hosted exchange and pop email accounts (both over secure connections).
Activesync returns the error "ActiveSync cannot reach the server. Check that the server address and proxy server settings are correct.". Trying to browse to a https://... address in opera mobile causes it to crash, and in IE I get a dialog saying it cannot find the url and "Make sure the path or Internet address is correct."
I did discover this thread over at expansys about the same problem with the Touch Pro (http://www.expansys-usa.com/ft.aspx?k=113037) but following the steps doesn't work for me, unticking the "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" option just reticks it the next time I view the settings.
I can't find any settings different between my new TP2 and Vario3 so I'm stuck. Has anyone else had issues?

It's fixed now
I did a soft reset and then the unticking the proxy server setting actually worked. Not quite sure why the TP2 requires this to be unticked yet my Vario 5 is working with it ticked.

Doesn't work
I can untick the proxy but this doesn't solve my activesync/exchange problem. I can access POP3 email etc fine and access my exchange account over wifi or via USB, so I assume it's a T-mobile issue. Anybody any help? I have tried searching and the only other h suggestion was to change proxy server to end in .135 instead of .132, but this doesn't work either.

Now does work
Had to delete the T-mobile settgins that wereautomatically configured, restart,then do the automatic configuration again, then uncheck proxy box before making any connections, then restart and voila!
