Hi,
Does anybody know a software that request password to unlock the device if the SIM card is changed?
I found one for Symbian devices
http://my-symbian.com/s60v3/software/applications.php?faq=15&fldAuto=123
but I wonder if there is something similar for windows mobile based devices.
Thnks in advance
Sprite Terminator does this. After initial setup you restart, enter your password and then disable the password lock(which it enables automatically), then it will only re-activate on sim change.
Please note: DO NOT change the password to a simple one(Don't even change the setting to simple before you disable it), it will screw up your device. Turn the devicelock password off completely. I learned this from experience ;-)
It sounds quite interesting I´ll have a look at that software.
Thanks for the info.

Hi everybody!
I have a little problem. I've set up a home network with a wireless router. I shared some folders on my PC so I can access the files from my Jamin.
So far so good, I managed to access the folders from PIE.
The problems started when I wanted to change user name and password. When I enter a network path PIE pops up a screen asking for user, password and domain. I made the mistake of checking 'remember password' box and now I can't get to this screen again so I can't change the login and access shares on my company network.
So how do I get explorer to ask for a password again? (without doing hard reset)
Or is there an app to manage this thing? I tried pocketLAN but it doesn't have this option.
Thanks in advance.
have yoy tried to look in the registry for key's about this?
had the same problem on accessing a website.
using regedit i found an entry in registry with the userid, deleted that entry and the next time i was asked for the password again.
hope this helpes
Actually, this is the first thing I tried.
Looked for the user name, then for computer name but all I got was the AS regs.
Maybe it was me, or the PHM reg edit.
Ether way, I solved it by changing the password, but if you fined that key again some time I would appreciate the info, and maybe someone else will two.
At least I learned my lesson: Never ever ever click the 'remember password box' darn M$. :x
Thank for the reply though.
i did a find of a userid which i used and found it in registry via the find options and a search in the entire registry.
it was found in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Activesync\Partners\.....
maybe this helpes?
Thanks for the effort, but this just kill the partnership to the PC. (Yep, tried it and was sorry).
So far changing the password seems to be the only solution (there are a couple more threads on similar issues).
Looks like another MS screw up.
I am wondering where the password information is stored for the cingular gprs settings. I am not asking how to enter the settings into the dialogues, rather where in the registrythe password info is stored.
I am aware of the settings located at these two locations...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}]
and
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\My ISP GPRS]
Exporting/importing these restores everything but the username/password info. What I am trying to do is save the settings so I will be able to more quickly restore them after a hard reset, which I do often because I am constantly playing with different roms.
or... is there already a premade cab file that will install the needed settings including cingular's generic username/password?
and for that matter, where is the password stored for activesync? After I import a reg file I have on my phone, I have all the activesync info properly entered except for the password.
I realize these are one time items to have to enter, but it would certainly make system rebuilding go a bit faster...
I hope you managed to get this far into this rather overly verbose essay.
found it.
hell yes:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\CredMan\Creds]
I am cool.
Okay, the question I have then is how did you figure it out, and more importantly, how do you know which key is associated to which connection?
Some crappy registry snapshot program
It is called ssnap, that coupled with a program called idiff, I was able to discover changes made to the registry after doing something (check/uncheck something, enter a setting, etc...)
http://s-k.al.ru/wince.html
If anyone knows a better program than these rather primitive monsters, please let me know. I am looking for something similar to installwatch for the PC by Epsilon Squared.
Those settings did not work anyway. That was definately the location where the settings were stored, but they must be coupled with something else. I was able to install and uninstall the username/password by setting/removing those registry entries, but after a hard reset, they did not work anymore.
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?
N1 VPN remember password option - NOT AVAIVABLE
Any way to get around it?
I have to enter VPN password every time when I need to reconnect,
and there is no option to save password.
if you go to code google, Issue 4369, that issue is discussed, and it's hopeless!
any other way? anything at all?
Thank you.
really?! no solution?
Its more than likely a security measure.
If your phone ever got stolen, they would be able to VPN into your work network as well.
so there is no way? I mean editing source code? is it really hard?
no one else cares?
you should be able to set a master password that you have to enter whenever using a VPN, therefore you can store all the complex passwords on the N1 and just enter one master password when you need to connect.
major pain in the ass my vpn password is long.. need to have an option to save..

thanks, btw auto restore stuff is checked..but it didnt work
You can always try to unlock it via :
http://www.samsungdive.com/DiveMain.do
It should let you unlock your phone remotly without reset, as you have setup a samsung account.
Do try and post feedback if working or not with unlock pattern.
Good luck
thanks..nope..it doesnt buddy..i tried samsungdive..it asks for recovery password and thats it!!!
mmmmm....
So to setup your exchange account (to be compliant with your company) you had to setup your phone with unlock patern or PIN pattern. It should also had a "device administrator" (try to see in the settings menu, If it is right) to let your company network admin to remotely wipe everythings. So this password recovery might been set by him from the server side. Ask him if he had setup any password for remote wipe or anything else.
Good luck

yeah..you are right..and i tried callin my IT hep desk..and she just says use your email password, which obviously dint work..by the way app suggested by dr.ketan is good..but im a bit late..
Ok,
I know for sur that your IT has the option for PIN unlock pattern enforcement.
You could always ask to setup again a PIN from their side and use it as your unlock "way". And the device administrator password is alsmost for "sur" not your personnal password from your company ( except If your network admin know all your password and set the same for the device administrator wich sound/is quiet strange).
But almost for sur this recovery password is set from your company side from exchange (ask them to go to the server AD and right click your user, and in the exchange/email tab their should be a "remote device" option or such tab in wich all the options, enforcement and password specific for your account and his phone/remote device access)
Goold luck

I tried outlook weboption..here is wat i have.
no option to view password .
Manage your mobile devices here.
You can remove devices that you are no longer using. If you forget your device password, you can access it here. If you lose your phone or mobile device, you can initiate a remote device wipe to protect your information.
To add a new device, begin a partnership with Microsoft Exchange from the device and it will appear in the list below.
Remove Device from List... | Wipe All Data from Device...
hmm..thts because..
Display Recovery Password (Windows Mobile 6 only): This option allows you to access your device if you've lost or forgotten the password. To unlock your device:
Press Menu, and then select Reset password.
The device will alert you that you must select a new password and supply a recovery password, which you can find in OWA. Once you have accepted, create a new password, and then press OK.
The screen will tell you where to find the recovery password and provide a space to enter it. Enter the recovery password, and then press OK.

Let me tell you this. I also have my corporate email account set in my Note, but instead of using stock email app I am using Touchdown.
That way the corporate does not have any access to you're full mobile, it is restricted to Touchdown.
The regular screen lock is the typical Android function.
