Is there any way to get it so that the device lock (pin lock) can be disabled when connected to ActiveSync or a charger? If I have the phone in the car it locks after a time, which is a real bore.
Maybe there is a registry entry for the delay before locking and this can be changed using a program (activated by keystore / button pressing)?
Any ideas most usefull, as I need to have the pin in place as the Prophet is a minefield of information!
same problem !!!!
the device lock it self during when i try to take good shot be camera !!!
so i need to enter the password to i can back again to camera
if only the device lock it self when i turn it off like window 2003
this will be great
Posted from another Pocket PC / Smartphone website, i have applied it to my phone but not been able to test it yet....
1. Get a registry editor (I used minied of sourecforge.net, because its opensource, but there are many others available)
2. Go to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\LASSD\AE\{50C13377-C66D-400C-889E-C316FC4AB374}
- The value called AEFrequencyType will be 1. Change it to 2.
- Ensure the value called AEFrequencyValue is 0
Exit the editor and reset the device.
From now the device should only lock to the password screen when the power shuts off, as per pre-AUK2 behaviour.
Note that if you go in to the lock settings screen, it will try to change the AEFrequencyType value back to 1. Also, this will *not* work if you have an Exchange 2003 enforced policy for this setting active. The policy will overwrite it.
Thanks for that
I will give it a try and see what happens.
Works like a dream!
Brilliant. Thanks for the reg hack. Brilliant and works a treat. Now, whenever the mobile is connected to ActiveSync or charging, no pin lock.
Glad to be of service, thanks for letting me know it works.
Nope, I don't have any great advice, just questions.
Goodlink replaces the standard WM5 password screen with its own (and it was pushed to my 8525 by security policy). The GoodLink password screen has a big problem: it does not have the on-screen keypad, so I have to open the keyboard every time. And given the maximum 30-min time-out, that's really annoying.
I wanted to return the original WM5 password screen. I found the following key: HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP\lap_pw with two values: DLL and GLOrigDLL. DLL is a string value "\Windows\password.cpl", the GLOrigDLL is a string value "lap_pw.dll". I hoped that changing the DLL value to "lap_pw.dll" would do the trick, but it didn't, even after a soft reset. No change whatsoever, no errors, still getting the GoodLink password screen.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Check if you have a redirect at:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Password
"Redirect" = "\windows\password.cpl"

No, the value is not there (there are only three values there now: Group, HintCounter, TimeOut)
Almost what you want...
In the key HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP you will find the value
"ActiveLap"="GoodLap"
or something like "Good..." - I can't remember. Corresponding to this is the key
HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP\GoodLap
which serves the same function for the GoodLink security authentication as does the key
HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP\lap_pw
for the default MS security authentication. If you change the value of "ActiveLap" mentioned above to
"ActiveLap"="lap_pw"
you will find that it reverts to the MS authentication that was there before the GoodLink lap. BUT BE CAREFUL! I made the change as I described, and it did indeed revert to the MS authentication, but somehow when GoodLink installed their lap, the password data for the old MS lap_pw was changed, and I cannot get in to my phone now!!!! (It didn't change the "hint" information, but the "hint" information is rather useless if the password was changed but not the hint!!!) I think to avoid this, you need to create the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Policy\LASSD\AuthReset
and put in the value
"AuthenticationReset"(REG_DWORD) = 1
Unfortunately, I didn't see this until it was too late...
Anyone have any ideas for my problem????
Correction...
Well, I discovered that resetting the device also resets the lap settings. At least, it did the first time, but not the second time, so I almost recovered, and then really screwed it up. Also, the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Policy\LASSD\AuthReset
doesn't work as advertised... so you're probably thnking "better you than me"....
Thank You Mobile registry editor!
It turns out that one can still edit the registry using Mobile registry editor, so I am saved once again. But still don't know how to get lap_pw working. I think that GoodLink screws up the value
HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP\lap_pw\Pin
by setting it to , thus making it impossible to login after switching to lap_pw. Just a guess. Can anyone confirm that this "value" is ordinarily signifigantly different from 0/1/2/3 etc., thus supporting the guess that it stores your Pin in an encrypted form? (Hence setting it to 1 makes lap_pw unuseable unless one can reset the lap_pw pin without knowing the old pin)
Also, it appears that ActiveSync resets the authentication policy back to the GoodLink LAP. Ouch.
I suspect that to get lap_pw to allow a pin reset, one needs to construct the appropriate "Authentication Event" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\LASSD\AE
Anyone know exactly what is required?

Reirect no longer functions under the new LASS architecture. See

Actually, it now appears that this value is NOT the encrypted pin. It seems that if it is 1, then lap_pw requests a pin, and if it is anything else, lap_pw does not seem to provide authentication (at which point, GoodLap kicks in, and how that happens is anyone's guess...) In particular, I set the value HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP\ActiveLap = "lap_pw", and then if value HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP\lap_pw\Pin is 1, the standard lap_pw asks me for my 4 digit pin, but if it is anything other than one, the standard lap_pw does NOT as me for a pin, and instead I get the same dialog as when HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP\ActiveLap = "GoodLap", even though HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP\ActiveLap = "lap_pw"!
It works, and doesn't work
Well that fixed the Goodlink lock screen, but now that I have the good screen back, the screen has the pad on it asking for the password and by just pressing the IE shortcut button, away it goes without a password. That is no good, how does that get fixed?

lmao. That is hilarious. Nice tight security again from MS. Well, I will give it another try now that I know how to get past the "PIN" screen. Note that there is functionality to "change" your PIN code, but I can't recall if you first need the old PIN to change it. Did you find, when you got rid of the GOOD pass-protection dialog and returned to the MS PIN pass-protection dialog, that your old PIN had been changed and no longer worked?
Hello,
I will come back to this post.
I am running Goodlink 5.03.23_EN on my Kaiser with the follwing ROM RUU_Kaiser_VF_UK_3.08.161.0_radio_sign_25.74.40.02_1.64.08.21. My company has an ITpolicy which is using:
HCU\ControlPanel\Goodlink\Password\ITLocked=1
HCU\ControlPanel\Goodlink\Password\ITLockedTime=6
etc.
The GoodLink password screen has still a big problem: it does not have the on-screen keypad, so I have to open the keyboard every time. And given the maximum 30-min time-out, that's really annoying.
To be honest, the timeout is fine, but the keyboard login is a pain.
All of the above hacks were not successfull.
- I have tried to change the above seetings, but they were renewed after each sync.
- I have redirect HKLM\ControlPanel\Password\Redirect=\windows\password.cpl with no success
- ....
Any new ideas ?

Change default keyboard - solution ?
Hi,
cause nobody has a solution for this issue, I will try the following.
I have found the following link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363751) to change the default keyboard.
1. How can I create my own keyboard-layout - just only with numbers ?
Edit: works with http://pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php
2. Is there a way to set a pre-script ? Means, just before the screen is locked by Goodlink I will change the default keyboard to the new keyboard. After unlocking the screen, it should change again the keyboard.
Regards

'm looking for a way (programmatic, registry, whatever) to enter numbers, *, etc. on the today page without having the phone interface automatically appear. It seems like this should be easy, but I haven't found it with a lot of googling.
thanks.
Uhm .. i'm not sure i understand correctly... But the way I see it, you have to build a plugin and add a control(i.e. edit box) which overrides the keyboard input. You need to catch the VK_ keys og WM_KEYDOWN/WM_KEYUP and handle them yourself..
But this only works if the plugin/control has focus however.
ok, what i'm basically wondering is if anyone has a cab file that can give me the device lock that the mda had, that when you put in your 4 digit code it would just unlock as opposed to the wing, which has you put in your 4 digit code and then you have to push the unlock key at the bottom left of your screen. thanks in advance.
Hi guys!
I'm looking for a software for password locking the Touch HD after a defined amount of time (in ex. 5min) of inactivity. The password lock included in windows mobile is too old and ugly for a stylish device like the HD.
Something that looks cool like S2U2 but that also supports password lock. Btw i like the gesture lock that has Android, where yuo have a grid with 25 points and you have to follow a predefined path with your finger in order to unlock the device.
Any idea?
