Device password

Hello!
I really need some help, I installed some cab files from this link. And now when I reset my HTC TyTN/Hermes (running the official WM6) I can't unlock it with my usual password. I have no idea what might have happened, but the only thing I can think of is that it was something in one of those cab files.
Does anyone know a way to work around the password check? I really wouldn't want to do a hard reset...
Thanks in advance!

at the risk of stating the obvious, are you sure you're entering the right password? i mean, your not entering the device password and it's asking you for the SIM pin or something.
i'm only mentioning it b/c i've done it before

Hehe, yeah I'm sure it's the right password. I've been using it for about 3 weeks, and I can't have forgotten it since I know it's the same numbers as the year i was born (not very safe I know ).
And it can't be the PIN code, since it's the same thing if I try it without the card inside.
I have also tried the usual 1111, 0000, 1234 and so on.
Thanks for trying to help me anyways
Does anyone else have any idea of what I can do?

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but there are posts around here stating that a certain ROM does gives problem of resetting the password to some unknown (and untypical) password. It seems to be ROM related, rather than the CAB you've install. Try doing a search around for people having PIN problems.

Thanks for your reply!
I did a search before I posted, but I guess I didn't think of the correct keywords to use.
But after a couple of searches now it seems like I have to hard reset... And that this bug mostly happens to official ROMs, which I find a bit weird.
Oh well, I guess I'll hard reset, flash a cooked ROM and install a backup program to prevent future problems. Oh, and I won't be using a password anymore. xD
Good thing I save my contacts to my sim card.
Thanks for the help everyone! This forum is the best

Locked out of my Rooted G1 -please help.

Hi all,
I'm new at posting here so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I usually come here for answers to my G1 questions but have never needed to post before (yes, I'm a lurker).
Basically, after drunkenly failing to pattern unlock my phone, I pressed 'forgot pattern' and was brought to the Gmail sign in/unlock screen.
The problem is that it keeps saying my username or password are invalid but they're not!
I checked by logging into gmail on my PC and nothing has changed.
I tried 'username', '[email protected]' and [email protected]' to no avail.
I have a UK model and have rooted it using Jesusfreke's RC8 then the update to RC9 using Moussam's root app.
I don't really want to have to wipe my phone but will do so if necessary; I was just hoping someone could tell me why its not accepting my details!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Dan

bump this message up the list please, I have not found any answers.

[Q] Need help accessing locked phone without data or usb debugging enabled

Hey guys,
First off, I don't have any idea where to post this as the phone I'm working with isn't on the forums, so I thought it would be more appropriate here. Please move it into the correct place if there is one. Thank you.
So I'm a new comer of course and I was browsing the internet for solutions to my friends phone issue and I came across this forum. From what I can tell this is a really intellectual environment and therefore was inclined to make an account to see if anyone can help me out with my issue.
The problem(s):
Currently my friend's HTC Wildfire S (T-Mobile) is locked out.
He had tried too many times to unlock it via the pattern and now has to enter in his google email credentials to unlock his phone.
Right now the wifi or data is not on for the phone
Failed solution 1: I tried to call him and have him answer the phone. I then tried to pull the notification tab down in order to enable data or something but that didn't work. I had read on another website that it could work.
Failed solution 2: I downloaded ADB and tried to access the settings.db file in order to edit it via an add on on mozilla firefox. After going to the path where ADB was located i typed in "dir", where settings.db usually is it wasn't there. I then concluded that he probably didn't have USB debugging enabled as that is a strange setting to turn on for no reason.
And now here I am...
He doesn't want a factory reset because he wants his texts, I can only guess that he has important nudes he wishes to save, haha.
Anyway, I'm not too educated in computer or coding language, so if you have any ideas please provide me with some extra details for my noobie status.
As a result of this tinkering, I'm kind of interested in learning how to code and messing around with my Samsung Galaxy S2, so if you also have any pointers for that I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks for your help in advance,
I look forward to engaging in the community and trying to contribute

There is a forum for the Wildfire S. Search at "Type Your Device..." and you'll find it.

URGENT : Forgot PIN!

Hi,
I seem to have locked myself out of my phone and do not remember my password. Last night before going to bed, I experimented with a bunch of passwords as to which one would be easy to remember. Now I do not remember what it was!
1. I have tried atleast 50 different passwords. However, they do not work.
2. Also, strangely, I do not receive the Forgot PIN option that we used to receive in earlier version of android
3. I do not have wifi/3g internet enabled so that I could check the google account recovery option.
4. I tried the emergency number and entered a key mentioned somewhere but it doesn't work. However, in the process I managed to call the police unfortunately!
5. I am able to use the camera on the bottom left
6. I tried calling myself and then trying to enter the phone while on call. No luck!
I want to try avoiding factory resetting the phone. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hey,
I think THIS should do the trick for you. You can easily flash CWM via SP Flash Tool, boot into it, open an ADB shell and remove the .key file.
Let me know if this works.

Thanks for the info! . It's a bit late here. Will try it tomorrow and let you know how it goes!
