how to hard reset the phone
Depends if it's the phone's password or the SIMs password.
If it's the phone hard reset by pressing the power and reset button at the same time.
If it's the SIM you have to contact your service supplier to get an unlock code as it'll be locked at the SIM level.

does anyone know how to remove the password and a UK ORANGE SPV M5000? I bought one off ebay but upon getting it it had a code on it and the seller is being a Bas***d and done a runner.
If you just bought it, you won't need to worry about losing personal data I would imagine.
The best way to dump the PW is to perform a hard reset.
Hold down the two buttons with a "-" on them, then poke the little reset hole at the back.
This will clear all personal data from the machine and restore it to the manufacturer's settings.
if it's the windows password than you can simply hard reset and it will go away.
cheers for the reply. how do i do a hard reset?

thanks alot guys worked a treat
I am using the PCarvalho eXtreme ROM on my phone. Everything was working fine until I entered the wrong PIN and PUK too many times. My SIM card was turned inactive. I went into the store and got a new SIM card and had the contacts transferred to the new card.
Once I put the new card into the phone, I tried the PIN and hit Unlock. The phone does NOTHING. It just sits there like I did not hit the unlock button. Then I hit the button again and again and see that the screen has registered the touch and the button press, but nothing happens. I do not get a message that the PIN is invalid and the Phone does not unlock.
So what can I do? If I attach the phone to the PC it tells me to unlock, which I cannot do for some reason. Is there a way to restore the phone to default ROM or to reload a ROM once if the phone is locked and will not accept an unlock code?
try another phone? i doubt it is rom related.
unfortunately I do not have another phone that could be used. Is there anyway to restore the old phone to make it work? The blackberry I have from work is sim locked to a different provider
Did you hard reset the phone? Try that if you have data backed up. You can also try flashing the original WM 6.1 and see if that works and then go back to pcarvalho's ROM again.
If by hard reset you mean taking out battery or pressing the button on the bottom, I have done both of those. If that is not hard reset, what do you need to do to execute a hard reset?

What you have done is called Soft Reset or commonly SR.
What you need to do (WARNING: you will loose all your contacts/pics/music/etc. in the phone memory) is take out your MicroSD card (just in case ) and while pushing GPS and Internet Explorer Buttons SIMULTANEOUSLY with one hand take the stylus and push reset with the other. Then continue holding the two buttons mentioned above until you see a gray screen that says: Push Send to Hard Reset the Phone. Push Send button then (you now can release those GPS and IE buttons ) and you've got a clean system.
Oh that sucks if I lose the contacts. hmmm well worth a shot to see if any are backed up on sim

If the phone is somehow still recognized by a PC, you can try syncing your data beforehand.
I would love to DesertsStorm but the phone will not allow for sync if it is locked. We shall see.
Dear all,
I removed my HTC HD2 better without using the reset function, as usual I get the Windows Mobile pin code screen, as you know 4 numbers are required to enter the phone, unfortunately the number that I am sure 100% is correct were not accepted and my phone somehow is locked.
Currently, the phone is displaying this message "Emergency phone calls can be made"
Any idea on how to sort out this issue?
Best regards,
Been a long time since I was locked out of a phone; when I did it years ago you need to phone your provider for a PUK code.
From what I've seen in other threads of a similar type, just pop the battery out or reset the phone to fix the issue of it not recognising your password, and I believe it only locks it for about half an hour, so you should be able to try again later.

ftr2k8 & johncmolyneux, big thanx for your contribution. Your solution taken into consideration and I found HTC support team advised with their solution as well.
Here is HTC support team solution:
==================================
New Response From [ Ahmed (MEA Support (Tech)) ]
Thank you for contacting HTC,
Dear Valued Customer,
Regarding your enquiry, kindly follow the steps below:
First: It is preferable to remove the SIM card and turn the phone on without it, to see if the number required is the PIN code. If that is the case then contact your network operator to ask them to provide you with the number.
If the device is still asking for a password, even with out the SIM card, then you will have to perform a hard reset.
Kindly note that, hard reset will delete all your personal data that is stored on the phone memory. It is better to have a back up of all your data if possible.
Hard reset steps:
1) With the phone turned off, press and hold volume up and volume down buttons. Then press the END/Power buttons briefly and release it. You will see this message on the screen.
2) Press the volume up to perform the hard reset, press any other button to cancel the reset.
3) Release the volume and volume down buttons, and follow the on screen instructions.

Sincerely,

OMG ! He ment password (PIN) protected screensaver - NOT the SIM/PUK access codes.
WM6.5 devices have a history of suddenly "forgetting" user PIN numbers. Then only hard reset helps destroying all personal data.
Shame on Microsoft !
It happened to me today.
Unable to unlock my HTC Leo with a 4-digit PIN
i have this phone
how to remove password?or how to make hard reset?
I also had the same problem. few days ago I entered my password and some how the phone did not let me log in so I researched on how to do a hard reset.
Direction:
Hard reset on Samsung Giorgio Armani b7620
Turn off device. Place it in a flat surface
Hold W/L and Lock button together (do not release) then press (do not release) call button then power button....
Formatting Menu will appear, press call button to confirm hard reset
fyi: W/L = work and leisure button which locates on top next to the speaker phone.
before u do this please notice that after I did a hard reset on my phone, the phone itself did not get any network signal. so the Hard reset probably erased the Radio software on the phone. I don't know why it did that. I am guessing probably because I had the sim card in the phone when I did the Hard Reset.
What you can try is before you do the Hard reset. *Take the sim card out of the phone first* then follow the direction I gave up there.
Good luck.
I have SPB Mobile Shell installed, and have never had any big issues until yday. For some reason it did not want to unlock when I entered the unlock code. I am absolutely sure I entered the right code, but it said it was wrong (I am not talking about the pin, but the code for locking the keypad). I tried to do a soft reset, but I am not even able to get to the pin-code screen login, as I have to unlock the device before this. In the beginning it said the password I entered was wrong, but now nothing even happens when I press the unlock button after entering the password.
Any ideas, or do I really have to do the hard reset??
If I am correct you have to slide to unlock and then enter your 4 digit number to access the phone.
I had this issue a few weeks ago and tried every method to unlock it. The symptoms that you are describing are exactly what I had. I know that I was entering the right number but the message that came up was 'wrong pincode'.
I contacted HTC and they couldn't help me and suggested that I do a hard reset. I reluctantly had to do this and it was reset to factory settings. JUST BACK UP YOUR STUFF. All my footprints were lost. Good luck !!
Yes, thats the exact same problem as I have. Guess hard reset is the only way out.. =/ I do have all the contacts backed up in Outlook, and as far as I know the memorycard will not be deleted, so all photos etc will hopefully not be lost. But anyway quite annoying.. =/
