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.

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:
Hi to all!
I`m new in this forum and ba world.
Last week purchased spv m2000 with wm2003se and simlock. After reading wiki I unlocked SIM, unhided an unlocked EXTRom , resized DOC and upgraded to latest radio rom and wm6 (thx Helmi for great job).
I did also some set up things in wm6, for example password (something like - "if device is unsed for 30 min. you must insert password") same as my PIN.
My battery after whole day of exploring new features and programs became week (10% - you may loss your data..., etc) and I decided to push power button and replace with another one. But I forget that other one is also week (5%). After soft reset and booting wm6 asked me for a password to unlock system - and I was surprised coz wm6 told that password is incorrect - apparently lost all my settings.
Hard reset and boot options helped with sweeping whole system. So I must now install again all programs and patches.
I don`t know if this is normal wm6 behaviour (I`ve read wm6 is data lost proof - this feater was major cause of upgradind) or I did something wrong with switching batteries.
Best regards
I do confirm this problem.
If unlock password was set,after you changed the battery,in the first boot the phone would be No radio,so you should reset it again.Then the problem came,all the password you typed was incorrect,you could not get into the desktop.
Even after you hv hard reset your phone.You will also need to clean the registry,that is incredible.
Can any one figure out it?
It is a serious problem.
Same problem
I have just the same problem that with my PDA2k. I upgraded to WM6 and put in a Phone Password. When I came to reboot the device and enter the password, it was not recognizing it ( tried to hard reset etc but still got stuck on the Password screen no matter what I do?
Any help on this pls pls?????
thanks

Trinity P3600 have this problem too
Hello, I just got the same trouble on WM6 Trinity P3600 (AXL ROM from 2007-08-30). So possibly this is common DOPOD ROM bug?
Also have the same problem with XDA IIs. Tried to reload the new ROM but the enter password is still there. Any other solution?
Solution Found!

Thanks it worked perfectly
100 points !!!!
this is called hard reset it wipes all of your installed software and settings. it is like freshly installed windows
Dear Xplode , what on earth is the reason behind the blocked password and reseted clock if u remove the battery ? ( backup batter working ). Another question , any idea if i can use a 3rd party application replacement for the Lock application ?

prophet upgraded with wm6 hv this problem too
One easy tip
Before you replace the battery, turn off security lock on device. Works for me and is not too.... much hassle.
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!!!

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 .
pls help me sir to unlock my mwg atom v password coz my brother put a password on my phone nd he cant remember the code pls help me sir.i already try this method .You can remove password by doing a hard reset.
To do hard reset. Press Power and hold at the same time poke into soft reset hole by stylus.
but it still same i want to unlock my mwg password is there other way to unlock or reset my mwg atom v password
i also had a similar type of problem. but it got removed by hard resetting. are you sure you are doing it properly. if you have done hard reset properly then after restart you'll be asked to "adjust screen positioning/tapping", "tap & hold to cut/paste" etc.
to try hard restart
