The problem. A friend of mine bought a MDA VARIO From England via EBAY. When he tur on the device it asks for the password (4 num. digit) and if he try to connect with the PC via activesync happens same thing. He must enter the device's password.
My question is: Do you know any way to bypass this password or to change the rom, etc. Remember the device doesn't connect with PC.
Thank you
Just do a hard reset. (Press and hold conn.mann button + voicedial button and reset. Then press send button when it asks for it).
That should do the trick, but you will lose all your data. (hope he made a backup)

Are you sure the device is't stolen?
I mean the orignal owner doesn't know the passkey, sounds smelly to me.
But indeed a hard reset will reset everthing back into the manufactors settings.

Hi,
I used Matts Device Lock from another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45953) and now my Wizard won´t unlock!! Soft reset, HW reset, nothing helps. When I press the Unlock Soft button I get a blank screen - nothing else.
Any suggestions?
As of now I can´t use the device at all...
- Glen
I can still access the device via Active Sync (I can see the device in explorer) so any suggestions on how to remove the device lock program from there would be appriciated.
- Glen
pass...
worst case scenario cant you just grab all your important data through active sync and flash the phone with the same ROM - in affect reseting the whole thing? :roll:

Password
Hard reset.
Hold the device facing you, depress simultaneously the voice command and WiFi (connectivity) button. One is on the right side of the device and the other is on the left side of the device. With your other hand and the stylus, press the reset and hold it for a few moments.
Remove the stylus and continue holding the two buttons until onscreen instructions appear. You will need to then press the SEND key (as the instructions indicate) to do a hard reset.

YEH thanx great work
As far as we noticed, Wm6 has a terrible bug. Locked device with a password wont be recognized if battery was removed. Also it resets the clock. I believe there is a solution for the password thing. here's what i've done
1- Download and install this cab file Omega-Pass : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OTW2NZT6 ( A password application that is gonna be used )
2- Go to the application and set the Password- Now the builtin lock application will take the settings from Omega-Pass .
3- youll notice that Windows Lock will require a password as if set as alphanumeric
4- Go back to the Built-in Lock Application and reset the password u want if u need a numerical form Only.
I think also u can just install the application and go directly to the builtin lock application and configure it but didnt try that. Dont wanna risk it i already had 4 hard reset
Now if you do all 4 steps even if u remove the battery for an hours , it will keep recognizing your password. The clock will be reset only. That worked for me .
Please inform me if it works for you also.
Karim.
120 views and no reply ?
well it may work but i just dont use password lock so ... it is useless to me, but this software does not fix the bug only prevents it from happening
Yes of course it interacts with the Builtin Lock code. if we can know how it's preventing it from happening maybe we can fix it ?
i am not so sure where exactly the bug is, but backup battery is only enabled when the main battery is depleted... but when you remove the main battery the power needed for preserving the basic information like time, date, lock password is not transferred from backup battery maybe this is power management or driver bug, and i have seen this in WM5 too
Buth at this time this problem is not yet solved
The thing i dnt understand is that WM6 devices Dont have a Backup battery as i saw on a HTC Touch device. So is it that BA is not 100% compatible with Wm6 ? or it's just a bug with all wm6 devices ?
well I tried, it seem working. for my case, I didn't need to remove the battery to have the problem, after a simple soft reset (after a reconfiguration with the advance reconfiguration tool), the password was lost.
So I do not know if i will have the problem again .
hope not
how did you get in your BA once the password is lost?
i just got my BA and installed WM6...
im down at my 20mins per retry...
Once the password is forgotten , You gotta hard-reset it. This solution only prevent it from being forgotten and cannot restore it.
What is original pass for that device?
Solution
Hi Guys..
The only way to skip this password screen taht i found was it:
Do a HARD hard reset (All data will be lost).
just soft reset first your device, than after you see the stripped screen, press the record and camera button quickly before the the version appears (radio,etc).. then you will see the three options..
enable kitl should be no
clean registry hive should be yes
format storage should be yes
to choose just use the camera and record to change the options...
No more..
I hope that it help.
Help!!!

I press reset and do the above but all I got is a screen normally u see when you do rom upgrade...Please give me advise how to hard reset.
thanks

Hi Haile...
Did you these steps correct???
After you press the reset button with the stylus, immediately press and hold the record and camera buttons.
It should work.
No more.
wat i did when i experienced the password not accepted thingy was, when i did the hard reset, we needed to follow the "no, yes, yes" sequence. what i did was not choose yes on the option where it asked to reformat rom(i forgot what was written on the display). i think i chose "no,yes,no". after that, everything was still there and the password on startup was gone. hope this helps to some of u guys.
thank a lot

If the device is locked,when the device is locked how can you download and install something...? Please somebody tell this clown that a device locked on password on WM6 ,you cannot access the phone whatsoever at all, WMDC will ask you to "autenticate" on the phone if you want connection...
The guy who gives this solution hasnt got a clue just as much Bill Gates hasnt.
yesss
yes it worked on mine this way as well.
Obviously the correct password wouldnt work...
Id like to see that billionaire giving some appologies for that....
Anyway mind this first;
Press and keep holding Camera and Record buttons .
Press reset in the same time
Keep holding Camera and Record another 2 more seconds .
Using the same two buttons do the No-yes-yes then
Attention ress just "OK" . pressing reset wont work.
IK does unlock .it just did my HTC .
Hi everyone,
I recently received an XDA Orbit 2, literally, charged it for 2 hours, and when it was full charged, I started using it, I had it for about 2 months now, and recently I changed my home Internet connection to wireless (It's a B & G connection) so my laptop connects fine, and when I tried to connect my XDA Orbit 2, it connected and then soft-reset itself, and now it just loads the O2 screen, then Windows Mobile screen with the volume controller and I can't do anything else so here's what I have tried so far:
- Soft reset
- Removed battery and SIM
- Since I can't access phone's menu at all, I tried to Hard Reset method by holding the 2 soft key, reset, and the power button - So I get the warning that everything will be lost and to press 'Send' to continue, so I press the green key, and soft resets and goes back to the same situation again.
- The latest thing I tried is to load the Hard-SPL into the SDCard which has been formatted to FAT32, so loaded the POLAIMG.nbh into the root. and loaded the phone into BootLoader mode (Camera and reset buttons). It loads the memory card and just says 'Loading ... ' I left it for about an hour, until the battery died completely (I'm sure it's not supposed to take that long). And still the same problem.
I'm not sure if this phone is now bricked, can anyone help me plesae. I really need this to start working again, I don't have any info. on it. (Everything was sync. previously).
Kind regards,
Since you havent really messed with SPL, i would say to take it back, since its still into warranty.
Thanks for the reply, I'm not actually in the UK and will be overseas for a while. I don't really mind experimenting so I would appreciate any advise on this matter. Thanks again.

I assume just boots into bootloader and then stays there?
If yes you culd try searching out a thread on MTTY and recovery from boot loader but I dont know how well that would work on polaris as I have not tried it yet.
HTH
Leon
Thanks for the reply, I heard about the MTTY process, but I've no clue on how to do it, since the phone can't connect in ActiveSync mode. Is there a thread or WiKi guide out there?

I'm pretty sure you can download MTTY from here and read through how to use it.

Also it is worth checking the wiki and searching

Please do some research! I have not done this before and I have no idea what the commands do!!!

I wa installing a rom from todopdas.es an my Polaris doesn´t pass from the screen where´s said "smart mobility", and R1.58.21.23 G 25.65.30.04H D 1.52.00.00, please what I can do?
You need to do Hard Reset, all information will be wiped off. To do hard reset, hold down the:
1.Press and hold the GPS/MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER
buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET
button at the bottom of your device.
2. Release the RESET button, but
continue pressing the GPS/
MESSAGING and INTERNET
EXPLORER buttons until you
see this message on the
screen:
This operation will delete
all your personal data,
and reset all settings
to manufacturer default.
Press Send to restore
manufacturer default, or
press other keys to cancel.
3. Release the buttons, and then press SEND on your device to perform
the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Good luck.
Hi,
I'm using an HTC TC POLARIS100. Today I upgraded my ROM and SPL successfuly. If you're still in trouble and believe the same process will help, I will let you know the process followed.
GUY
i forgot my password after upgrade my wm5 to wm6. i tried to to use spl to flash my phone but my pc cant open my device because my device is locked so the activsync cant do anything.
someone can help me plz!!!!!!!!!!!
*edit* i try to hold the camera and com man buttons adn the same time and press reset button. but it doesnt change
Firstly, I can't see how resetting the device will help you with your problem.
Secondly, how far into a reset do you want to go? Do you want to reinstall the OS or something slightly less drastic?
i just want to open my password. then i will upgrade my phone to wm6 with PIN
Did you set a password after flashing WM6? I've heard that if you do so, your device forgets your password after a soft-reset, and nothing will help your problem besides a hard reset.
