My Tytn locks after a few minutes. I can remember setting this in the beginning, after booting for the 1st time. I want to change the nr of minutes, but I just cant find the program to do so.
Help says I have to use the "windows-settings-personal[tab]-password". But (I have an UK Tytn) its just not there. ANyware...
Where is the password option hidden?
How can I get back that option in the above mentioned window?
I could hardly sleep - so I just went thru all options and its "hidden" behind the WIndows-Settings-[personal-tab]-LOCK icon.
WHen choosing the LOCK, you have to enter the password. I thought it meant that after typing in the password, the device was locked.
But after giving the password, you're able to change the password/timeout settings.
How simple life is sometimes
Windows-HELP is wrong though....

Hi All
I got a frustrating problem with the Internet Explorer on my Hermes with WM6
After a wrong login to my router (unluckily i checked the box for remembering the password) i do not get the loginscreen again (as it should be). I get directly the message that this username/Password is wrong.
After hours of searching i didnt find a way to delete the wrong loginvalues inserted before.
Any suggestions?

You should have a list of the previously established SSID's. Tap and hold on the one in question to bring up the secondary menu, and pick either edit or delete.
Obviously, if you tap delete, you will need to set it up from scratch. If it's just the password you messed up on, edit should be enough.
I have 6.5 on my HD and was curious if I could use the lockscreen but without a password so I could keep the slider and notifications, I just dont want to enter a password each time thanks!
the only time you have enter the password, is if you setup the pin function on it, otherwise the slide fuction in wm6.5 works as normal

is there a way to activate the unlock slide to application screen but no need to input password everytime??
million thanks.
Forced lock by MS exchange
Yes this is a huge problem. I have the pin lock force on by MS exchange security settings. In WM6.1 this only affecxted when the phone was turned on not everytime it is locked.
This cab (from another thread) removes the lock enforced by Exchange.
Works on my 6.1 and I believe on 6.5 too.
Run it, then go to you Lock settings and the tick box to remove lock is no longer greyed out ...
Alternatively here's the reg setting to edit:
Enable/Disable Exchange Security Policy
Registry Key: HKLM\Security\Policies\00001023
To enable it: Set value to 0
To disable it: Set value to 1
I used similar registry tweak in WM6.1 to get away with the exchange security policy but not working now for the new WM6.5. eg. I can change the inactivity minutes AEFrequencyValue to long enough but still the phone asks for unlock password frequently.

I have the Same Problem.
I'm force to have a Password from the exchange security Policy.
I have set the "Promt if phone unused for " to 30 Minutes, but each time the the phone goes to sleep, the Password is asked again.
Did someone have a solution without disabling Exchange Policy or installing S2U2??
Thanks

If you disable lock in setting > lock, i.e. untick 'Prompt if phone unused for' and just use slider functionality in wm6.5 you don't need to enter PIN any more.
Install attached cab (Smart Lock) and once installed go to settings > system > smart lock and ensure that both 'wm6.5 new lock' and 'suspend lock' are ticked, then soft reset. Now each time you turn screen off device will lock and to unlock it you use the slider
I installed the Stay Unlock cab and I still have to enter my password when my phone reboots. Until now, for day, it did not ask me for a password after 15 mins of inactivity, but today, it is again asking me for passwd every 15 mins if I don't use the phone. I am not even able to ever uncheck the setting for Lock which turns on requiring passwd - that setting is grayed out for me even after installing the cab. Could someone please throw some light on this? Thanks.

==========================
in 6.5 the key is a bit different (policies twice):
Enable/Disable Exchange Security Policy
Registry Key: HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001023
To enable it: Set value to 0
To disable it: Set value to 1
WM 6.5 Company Policy Activated Device Encryption
I recently set up Exchange e-mail on my WM 6.5 AT&T Tilt 2 (Touch Pro 2), which resulted in activating device encryption. Although I check the email box to remember my password, the device constantly asks me for a password.
I've since removed the Exchange e-mail account (I'll go back to synching rather than direct connect as this is too much of a hassle). However, I can't seem to turn off device encryption.
After reading this forum, I've tried the "Stay Unlocked.cab" and the registry settings (e.g., HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001023 setting) to no avail. The "Prompt if Phone unused for remains grey/unselectable.
One thought: When I checked the 1023 key setting it was 0 so I set it to 1. That had no effect. But reading the post 0 = enable so I tried setting the value to 0 and got a message popup: "Exchange server has just enforced security policy required for Active Sync." So something of Exchange is still running or enabled...how can I turn this off?
WM 6.5 Company Policy Activated Device Encryption
Deleting the Exchange connection in Active Sync did the trick. That was so easy I do feel a bit foolish...
I use Exchange Enterprise Activesync for email, and corporate policy forces the use of a pin.
There is a function to display a 20 digit recovery password in Outlook Web Access that can be used if the device PIN is forgotten.
On my TyTN II (Windows Mobile 6.1) on the lock screen there is a Menu with Reset Password as an option, after selecting this I can specify a new password, then enter the 20 digit recovery password.
However, I can't find a password reset option on the HD2 lock screen. I suspect, from searching on the Internet, that this might be the case with other Windows Mobile 6.5 devices, but can't get at one to check.
Does anybody know how the password reset option can be accessed?
Hey, we are having the same problem with the HD2. There is not a "menu" option on the lock screen.
Anyone figure out how to use this yet?
Same problem :/
Does nobody have an idea?
So I wanted to check "locate my phone" feature of moto blur and went to the web site (https://portal-blur.svcmot.com/blur-web-portal), but could not remember my password.
I did a reset password through my laptop and changed it and logged in to the portal. But now that password is changed, phone throws up an error saying my blur password is wrong. I click on the notification to enter the new password, but the damn thing shows me the password change option with old password, and 2x new password instead of just the "enter new password" screen.
How am I going to enter my new password to this stupid blur?

Motoblur and Google asks u to relogin whenever u inset a different sim on the phone....so try putting a different sim (doesnt matter which network) relogin again .... it should work...
Not the best solution but should work..
Remove SIM card and connect via WiFi

Good idea -- that worked...
I was having the same problem.. Changed my Motoblur password (had forgotten the old one) online, then when the Atrix notified me of the password change, I got sent to the wrong screen. Changing the password here required entering the password I'd forgotten.
This procedure works on my wife's Motorola Cliq 2 - takes me to a screen that only asks to enter the new password. But my Atrix doesn't seem to do that.
I turned off the phone and extracted the SIM card -- I did not have another card handy to install, so I connected to a nearby open WiFi network. Motoblur locked the phone, and when it asked me to log in, I used my account name and the NEW password to log in, and it worked. I got one last notification about the password change, but I cleared it and moved on.
Everything seems to be OK at this point. Not the most elegent solution, but it did work for me (for now, anyway.)
I did the same thing. I had another sim card but it was a European operator card and I certainly did not want to rack roaming data for stupid blur So I waited until I went home, removed the sim, booted the phone, entered the new password, inserted old sim, rebooted the phone, re-entered the password yet again.
Deep from my heart I want to say "Idiots!" to people who coded this whole blur thingy at Motorola.
Thanks for the answers both of you by the way : o)
Looks like Motorola may be aware of the following issue (and may have attempted to fix it).
Their support site (Answer ID 63006) states: "You will need to type your new password in all three boxes, "Old Password", "New Password", and "Confirm Password".
I tried doing the following multiple times and had no luck. Finally found this thread and did what was suggested and all went well.
Had to turn the phone off/pull the back cover, battery & sim off/turn it on without sim/turn it off/turn it on with sim/re-enter my Motoblur username/password and it worked like a charm.
This is my first ever post to xda so if I didn't post this correctly please let me know. So where I work they have an app that you can use to check your schedule/hours worked etc. For some reason the app asks for the password for the credential storage before I can use it. I had to look that up online because I didnt know there was a password for it and I'm not 100 percent sure what credential storage is used for. I'm assuming stored usernames/passwords for certain websites? Anyways I found out the password is the same as the 4 digit screen lock password. not a big deal on my phone but on the watch it took me to the security settings menu where I set a screen lock pattern. But now I've changed my mind and don't want the screen lock. I have to unlock the screen to see the watch face I have set. My question is how can I access the security settings menu? I can't do it with my work app. It only took me there because I didn't have a screen lock.
