I set my screen lock password as my pin number, but somehow must have typed it in wrong becuase now I can't unlock it. have tried various options in case i entered it wrong or something but no luck.
I'd really rather not reset my phone.. is there anything I can do?
Enter safety quoestion for resetting
From my sexy LT15i
There is no safety question... its the number passcode rather than the pattern. doing a pattern asks for a safety question but on this password it doesnt ask for one..
What?
Are you sure?
Ummm, it should be reset able via gmail acc on internet

Hi,
I can not recall my password; kinda silly but real...
I don't want to make a hard reset and loose my son's pictures at his graduation ceremony.
Any recommendation?
Youy should be able to hook the phone up to your cradle & then browse using activesync to transfer all your wanted files onto your PC before you hard reset. Even if you only manage to sync as a guest, not a peer, file browsing should still work from the PC
Thanks for your response..
When I get connected via cradle, I get a message like "this mobile device is password protected. In order to connect to the device, you must enter its password."
So, I can not browse.
I feel like I need to hack my own device..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are only 4 digits.. maybe u can try all the combo.... :roll:
Earlier, it used to give a message telling it was the wrong password, when I enter directly from the device.
Now, it does not give any response, just waits.. I have soft reset device each time or reseat it to cradle to reactive ActiveSynch.
I wonder if it is blocked or not.. I might be trying hopelessly..
i'm facing the similar issue...
would a hard reset do the trick?
i think so.
you don't have nothing to loss.
same probelm
hey people,
i'm with the same problem i tried an alphanumeric password and now i cant get it right.. I tried to do the hard reset but i think i'm doing the soft reset. In the manual says to hold the power button and press reset. I did this millions times and stills asks for the device password!!
can anyone help me?
In case that this wont work is there anything i can do? developing it to the factory or something?
thx in advance..
Hey.... face the truth...
Hardreset it...
My Grandpa' told me long time ago....
"Isn't good to have all the eggs on the same basket"
Thanks Grandpa... i always record in two cameras, or imediatly synced my data for backup...
Oh yes... Skynight...
Does you have the original for BA manual? i mean maybe if you google a little or read the wiki pages can found how to perform a hardreset... or maybe i become a great guy and tell you where it is.... mmmm im hungry search please.
plz help me man..the manual says power and reset. i searched on forum and they said camera+power+reset would do it. when i do that way i only get a white screen with something written on it..I only had the pda for a couple of hours and it's my first pda, i'm kinda new in this "world".
can u tell me the right way to do it? In a electronic store it costs 50€ and i dont wanna pay that
thx
@skynight
You said you see white screen and something written on it? So what's written on it?
bootloader?
jejejeje
ok ok

well i think this would be an odd topic with all the unlocking talk going around...but this is exactly what i want to know...
how do i lock my imate jam i mean how many locks could be put on the phone and the pda itself...powerfull locks so no one would be breaking those except for u guys xda-developers.com
is there a way to bootlock it like the one a PC has? you could just put a password for booting
and how does the sim lock work? i tried the option given in my phone which says "Require PIN when phone is used", but that is just for MY sim and it wont lock the whole thing. so basically what i want is a lock that would not allow any other sim to work in my phone.
thanks
hi...
simply...go to settings/personal tab/password,and lock it :wink:
it's too strong that it will prompt password after each soft reset,and if u put 0 minutes near "prompt if device unused for",will prompt password each time u turn on ur phone(after standby).....
it cannot be hacked....without....HARD RESET...
so i guess,ur looking for something stronger.. :wink: ,or u think it's enought???
RAGO :lol:
stronger one
well that is i think the weakest one i mean it just needs a hard reset im certainly looking for something stronger
When I turn on my device, it asks for a 4 digit password. I think this is great! ;-)
But i want a setting or program => When somebody enters the wrong password 3 times all the data on my device will be erased.
Do any of you know such an application/program?
Thanks in advance.
lol... someones paranoid...
do u not think that might cause some problems if someone randomly picks up ur phone and gets the password wrong...?
Asked a friend for his advice on this and this was his reply:
"maybe theres a code where if u put the security number in wrong 5 times then the phone explodes...then ud know who pisses around with your phone cuz not only would they not be able to get to your special data *naked pictures of your mum*, but they'd also lose their face, and or hands"
Someone from the trinity forum exactly got what you want - unvoluntarily. He has exchange server wipe policy on for multiple wrong password attempts. Someone got his phone and you guess what - bingo
Hi guys,
i am looking for a password-lock application, S2U2 would be cool, wich resets the device if the passwort was keyed in wrong several times. Like "Nice Start" did on older devices.
So if your phone gets lost, and i lost my diamond 2 weeks ago, all data will be erased if someone guesses the PW.
Is there something in the air?

Here's a nice app. that i use..
http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/sprite-terminator
It has all kind of great features except this "wrong code entered several time protection" you're looking for.
Onestly i don't think this feature you want is very smart..imagine that you're phone get's unlocked in your pocket and you accidentaly press some wrong passwords..or a friend is trying to ckeck out your phone and does that...
wow, remote termination via SMS sound cool!
Thanks!
I have a very big problem on my XDA IIs, i cannot unlock the phonelock even though i input the correct password.
-on my way home, my phone got emptied(battery empty). and then when i opened it, the problem began. please help me. what should i do?
-i have read articles stating that it is a common problem when the battery got emptied.
-my phone is an O2 xda IIs WM 6.5, serial 2.7.
-ty for the reply....
as i told you via pm already, there is no way to unlock the phone, once you set a password. the phone "forgets" the right password and would say, any password you put in, is wrong. that is why the only way to get rid of the problem is to re-flash the phone. a hard reset won't work, since that would be a terrible theft protection and also there is no way to backup any data, since even connected to the pc you are not given any access to the phone. that is why, in several threads here, and in several positions in my tutorial, i warn people, not to set a password in a cooked rom. you can do it in the stock wm2003 rom though, it works perfectly fine.
if you feel the need to protect your phone using a password, you need to look for 3rd party software to do that. i think spb has a nice app for that.
