Guys,
My wife put in a password to lock her phone (sensitive data) and now she doesn't know what it is, is there a way that I can dump the contents or access the data on the device? She took client notes on it and they were not set to be sync'd with her desktop, she needs them desperately. I'm the one that set up the syncing for NOTES and not WORD docs so I'm in deep S&*t with her!
The docs are in 'my documents' on the phone and not on the SD card.
Anyone able to do it?
Is there a limit on the number of try's?
When using a remote viewing/control software could I simple write a program that continues to run through the 9999 combos or the x trillion combos if she used the alpha-num setting? Are you able to enter the password on the desktop machine?
I like my private parts, please help!
I know a hardreset will dump everything on the phone and then she would be able to use the phone but I'll still be missing a couple of valuable parts of my body, if you know what I mean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Try to get your wife to remember at least the first number, so that you only have 999 tries before you actually find the correct code.
I didn't think it was to much to ask her to reminber the other 3 also but as wives will do, its still my fault for not backing it up!
Don't know anything that might help right now, but if I find something, I'll let you know. Also, for information, you might want to try SignWise - it uses a signature as a 'password' - and it's quite good
if my memory is correct (which isn't always the case) there is a program that shows your xda screen on the pc and you can manipulate it there. This in cooperation with a macro/keyrecorder you might get thru it. It probably would still need a lot of editing of the macro.
Thanks guys,
dcs, but then I won't be able to check on her
Does anyone know how to hack this?
Im stuck too. I thought maybe downloading the rom to the SD card might work, but you would have to do hard reset which would lost the data.
You might be able to try setting the active synch to backup up word documents (do it from the pc) then put the XDA in the cradle. Then try to forcefully synch from the PC. It might bypass the password.
I may have a solution, give me a couple of days to try it out and I'll let you know. In the meantime dont hard
reset orplay with it.
Cradeling the device requires the password before the connection is completed so I can't explore the device.
it's not an xda then i suppose ?
because all the xda's i've had synch without the password unless you are forming a new pathership
Its an MDAIII, but I think it still works the same with the WM2003 XDA. Maybe the solution in an old active sync, but I don't think I can go back in a version because the device is updated when I went to 3.7
Can anyone confirm if you can access data when a password is set using an old active sync?
well i can confirm that when i once types in the password for a connection and make it save it then i'm never required to type in the password again when i sync
If I had the Password the first time she entered it we could have done that but she forgot it before it was ever sync'd with the computer. So I need the password for the first time.
Anyone ever use this?
pget.exe gets files from your PocketPC.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/XdaUtils
pget.exe Doesn't work until the password is entered to establish the link, it just sits there waiting for a connection. As soon as the Password is entered, it dumped the files to the PC (testing on my phone)
You may patch Active Sync so that it would not stop asking you a password after 3 wrong attempts:
old wcescomm.exe - patched WCESCOMM.EXE
00006C26: 74 90
00006C27: 05 90
Then you can "guess" the password by a bruteforce.
This patch is for ActiveSync 3.7.1 build 4034
You should kill WCESCOMM.EXE process before patching.

I'm trying to get my database moved to my K-Jam from my PDA2K. I can't seem to make it work. I move the .sdb, but it won't open on my K-Jam. Not sure if I'm missing something.
Thanks,
tom

This is what works for me: From the desktop SplashID app, "Export" all items in the PDA2K database to a .vid file, install SplashID on the KJAM setting the password to the same one as the desktop SplashID app and then sync. This will establish a new SplashID user (with blank data) in the desktop app with the same user name as the KJAM device name. Set the password for this new user to the same as on the KJAM SplashID. "Import" the saved database .vid file to the new user on the desktop. Make sure that SplashID is checked in the ActiveSync options and then re-sync. After that all the PDA2K data will be on your KJAM.
Frank
So there's not a way to just copy the database (or beam it) to my K-Jam?

Here's the strange part, I tried your suggestion but ran into a problem. I got the files into the SID desktop, but when I try to sync, it says the passwords don't match and it won't transfer. It takes the same password to open the desktop as it does to open the pda. Not sure what's wrong.
I keep getting "67 items unresolved" and password must match in order to sync. They do match though!
Thanks,
Tom
I don't know. This always works for me. I guess I would try uninstalling SID on the KJAM and then reinstalling it, making sure that the pw matches the desktop SID pw and then re-syncing. Seems like something is wrong with your pw somewhere so just redefining it to a simple one like "1234" on both SIDs and then syncing might be the first thing to try.
The problem that I used to have before using the procedure that I outlined before was that I would get duplicates of both the data items and the categories so I would sometimes wind up deleting all data and categories from both the desktop and PDA SIDs, then importing the data to the desktop SID from the .vid file and re-syncing. This would clear things up.
Sorry I am not more help here,
Frank
No problem....thanks for the suggestions. I just tried deleting everything I could find relating to SID and started over. No luck...password problem still. I've sent an email over to SplashData for help. Thanks again!!

I've had this several times after re-establishing an Activesync partnership. The cure is usually to reset the password on both the desktop and PPC a couple of times until they sync.
My XDA II did a hard reset on error.. and now not able to sync. witht the data already on laptop... its telling me
1) Either establish the GUEST relationship
OR
2) Change the name- Name exists...
How do I resolve this issue to get back back up reloaded..
I have given the same device name and have done same Regional settings... Anything i am missing..???
Please help...
SPG.
the data which is syncronised is stored in Microsoft OUTLOOK and such so this doesnt effect your syncronised stuff.
In Activesync Goto File and DELETE PARTNERSHIP also Delete any old uneeded partnerships which are in there,
You may need to Hard Reset the PDA but try without, put it on the cradle, it will give the option to set up a new connect or guest, then when syncing it will ask to leave replace or combine with the data held on the pc and pda.
The problem is simply the same name on the XDAII
Change this name, and it will work. Activesync will then recognise two devices by virtue of the same name. I used to have the XDAII and this was always an issue, so I just kept changing the name on the device to suit myself...
Or as indicated delete the partnership on your PC (note if you need any of it, get the "files" sync folder as this will be deleted also, and you may want the stuff thats in it.

I try to get my mails pushed to my TyTN. Thus I enabled the appropriate services on my Exchange 2003 SP2 server, set the user permissioning and so on. I generated an P12 cert with my CA and imported it using p12import.exe on my tytn. I also installed .cer for the domain and for the CA on the mobile device. Thus I was able to sync and push. Now I am facing the following issue:
After successfully syncronizing and pushing for some hours, I regularely get an 0x85030027. Checking my certificate I can see that my p12 is gone. After reimporting it using p12import, i can change the server settings the following way to force an "reinitialisation" of the link between user settings and cert: I delete the "m" in "blabla.dynaccess.com", go forward to login information - the password is gone then - go back to the server, add the "m", go forward adding the password. Sometimes I am than able to sync again, sometimes I get an 0x85010004. In the latter case I must delete the whole server setting - loosing all my mails - and have set it once again.
Dealing with this issue now for several days and beeing unable to find any description or solution in this forum and the web, I kindly ask for any idea which could be considered beeing helpful...
PS.: Sorry for my English - it is not my native tongue ;-)
I use CACert certificate for my email and have imported it using smartphoneaddcert utiltity from Micro$oft.
Copy your certificate into \Storage\root.cer (has to be named like this) and run SPAddCert.exe, hopefully that should work
thanks for the immediate answer. i already installed my root-certificate with no probs. The issue I have is related to the individual cert for the device, generated and signed by my ca, which is trusted by the tytn. This individual one disappears after some syncs?!
I don't experience the same problem ...
I think your method is ok (Jacco in DDSL.NL) have a nice tools to import personal certificate to device...

Cheers
André
Now I can describe the problem more precise: the personal certificate disappears after every soft reset?!
I have the exact same problem !!!!
When you do a soft reset the personal Certificate disappears.
I can reimport it directly, but I need to hook it up to a PC in order to validate the Certificate.
Is there no other way. This is really annoying when i'm on a trip, and I have to soft reset the device.
Does anyone know hpw this can be done differently.
Thanks

Okay, my HD2 yesterday forgot my unlock passcode, I have not installed any version of sype, and running 1.66 WWE stock Rom. My Exchange Server security policies forces a passcode.
What i have found (tested) is that an option in BsB Tweaks is causing the problem.
The option that is causing this (or at least for me) is 'Owner Information - show or hide owner in settings'
When enabled, with the show notes, your Owner information and notes are displayed when you wake the phone (before slide to unlock) I wanted this option because it gives you a slightly better chance of recovering your phone if it gets lost.
It works well initially, then for some reason it fails to show, restart the phone and BANG, your passcode wont work!! I have experimented this and it happens every time.
Thought I'd let you all know my findings, and hopefully this bug can be ironed out.
regards
Paul
I've tested it some more today, and I'm pretty sure that it is the Owner info. Going to leave it off now, but would definitely want this feature fixed As i said before it does give me a slightly better chance in getting it back if it gets lost!
Have you tried using the Recovery Password from the Outlook Web Access for your exchange server?
It's not the Exchange password that gets forgotten, it the unlock code for the phone!!! You just cant unlock the phone, hard re-set is the only option!!
Its a know problem for some people that install sype! Same thing your passcode just will not work

Microsoft said:
You can use the EMC, the Shell, or Microsoft Office Outlook Web App to recover a device password.
You can require a device password through Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync policies. A user can configure a device password even if your Exchange ActiveSync policies don't require one. If users forget their password, you can obtain a recovery password using the EMC or the Shell. The recovery password unlocks the device and lets the user create a new password. Users can also recover their device passwords by using Outlook Web App.

Hello, I'm XDA News Writer mustangtim49 and I made the horrible mistake of installing windows8 on my little emachines mini lappie. I lost my normal home wifi and now I can't access my computer, every time I input my password, my computer says "your computer is offline, try the last password entered on this computer" I'm ready to throw it away, but do to a bad break up, this is all I have and it's really affecting my ability to do my job here at XDA. Thank you for reading this and any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

You can reset the admin password using various available tools. I haven't tried it with Win8, but below are instructions for Win7. It shouldn't be different. Worse comes to worst, just reformat it and re-install, since it's a new install anyway.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ht/reset-password-windows-7.htm
For more resources (beware of spam): http://google.com/search?q="windows+7"+password+reset
There were also some reports from the CP version of password length needing to be between 8-16 chars, else an "incorrect password" error occurs.
http://www.technize.net/windows-8-maximum-password-length-limitations/
It's not a new install, I've been running it since it became available. Also, I read the links you provided, thank you, they require a disc to be burned, my mini has no disc drive.

Let me get this straight... is it your windows password or your home wifi password you can't get to work. You said you lost your home wifi. That has nothing to do with your windows password except it trys to check the microsoft account 1st then it uses the local. If there is something wrong with the local, take it somewhere that has free internet like dunkin donuts does in states and try logging in. Then switch to a local account.
I am tethering my phone as wifi and I still can't get past the password. It's the stupid w8 password screen when you first start the computer. Is says offline after I put in my password and will not let me in.
[email protected]
Being offline has nothing to do with the Win8 local password to login. I've been working with Win8 R&D for the past year and have yet to see an error like that.
Is it the WiFi password that is not being accepted?
Colphonix. I agree. Seems like the WiFi password.
Sent from my PI39100 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Also, if you switched to a Microsoft account to login, the password for that account is the one you need to login, not the one you created for the local account.
I hope that helps
