I have just started using WindowsMobile. I have a Treo Pro with WM 6.1. I have connected it to my 2007 server with Active Sync. However, I did not understand the PIN for the device and I put in a password that is just too long. How do I reset or change my PIN so I do not have to type so many characters each time I unlock my device?
Thanks
One thing I did was disable the requirement of a PIN when connected to my exchange server. Our security policy required a 4 digit pin, which became a pain.
Here is some information on how to tweak these settings via a registry editor...

Not available for WinMo 6.5 esp. an HD2 working addon.
I suggest you use Microsoft Exchange for the time being.
"esp. an HD2 working addon." ??
are you working on an add on ?
will a registry hack permit intallation and running of Balckberry connect 4
I tried contacting blackberry , but they requested we contact service provider
I belive there is some hot fix for some HTC devices by hacking the Registry
Will it work with HTC HD2
Please advice , I am desprate to make it work
Nope Im not working on one as RIM usually provides the solution and chefs take that one solution from a particular ROM and modded to make it compatible with other devices. It seem RIM hasn't created a WinMo 6.5 compatible BB Connect app.

Despair no more. I have it working (see my signature!)
This is what you do:
BEFORE INSTALLING Blackberry Connect you do the following:
* Use a registry editor and change the AKU to .1.6.3 (HLMK\System\Versions) --> Please note the leading dot before the number 1.
With AKU .1.6.3 you will get email but not the Blackberry browser, i.e. Internet Explorer using the Blackberry Internet connection, but believe me: You don't need that.
Resco Registry Editor (not free) is a good choice, but there are others.
* Create a new String registry entry under HLKM\Init called Launch130 and set its contents to SetModelID.exe (Case SeNsiTive!!!)
* Copy/Paste SetModelID.exe to the Windows folder in your Phone
* You can find SetModelID.exe here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520413&page=4
* SetModelID will trick BB Connect into thinking you have a different phone.
* Install BB Connect 4.0.0.106 (It will soft reset after the initial configuration/installation)
* You can get BB Connect 4.0.0.106 from http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?entry_id=338
* After reboot, you may see a window with an error message about security failed or something like that. If you get that, you won't be able to run Enterprise Activation. That means that the BB Security Service couldn't start. That's a timing issue found with Windows Mobile 6.5.X.
To make that service start you need Task Manager v3.1 from FdcSoft. Start Task Manager and go to Services and press on restart service (icon at the bottom). Task Manager will seem to lock up for a few seconds. Be patient. Once BB Security Service is running you can continue with Enterprise Activation.
* Run the Wireless Enterprise Activation process (No need for BB Desktop Manager)
* Remember that your BES Administrator must set your activation password in your BES Server and of course, you have to have the Blackberry Service from your wireless carrier.
Questions? Let me know how it goes.
Good Luck!!!
Hi Miscom
I own an HD 2 , I belive you own an HD
I tried all that you Said
a) Changed the AKu Value to .1.6.3 from the original .5.0.82
b) Created a Registry String : HLKM\Init called Launch130 set value to SetModelID.exe
c) Copied the file SetModelID.exe to the windows folder
d) Installed BB Connect 4.0.0.106
but I did not get Security failed as suggested by you
my HD2 booted and the BBC SHowed my IMEI but said pin Pending
I have the Task manager 3.1 as said by you but the BB Service doesnot show as stoped
The Task Manager Services Shows Black Berry Security (BBDO
A system folder was created in the Mails Folder ???
but no Black Berry Connect
When I click Black Berry It shows BlackBErry Lock Device
The Black Berry Security Settings
How can I confirm my Black BErry Connect Service is working
How can I configure my Accounts
Why does Black BErry icon lead e to a screen with a lock with the name black berry Lock
Will your efforts work on HTC HD2 LEo Running ROM VErsion 1.48.720.2
If I have failed do I need to revert the changes to the originals to prevent further problems
Thanks in advance

I think we are on the right track. Yes, I have an HD but that procedure works on Windows Mobile 6.5.X regardless of device.
You say that it says PIN pending, but did you get an IP Address? If so, BB Connect is working properly. For the PIN Pending issue read on:
Not getting the security failed message is a good thing. It means that BB Connect was able to initialize all of its services with no issues; and that's why Task Manager is showing it as started already!
That said, there will be times when it won't be able to do it after a soft reset and that's when Task Manager comes in handy.
As part of the installation a system folder (or new account) will be created.
Once BB Connect initializes it will talk to your Wireless Carrier to register itself in the network. If the registration is successful you will find a new email in the system mailbox saying something like your device has been registered to the network.
At this point there are a few things we can try:
1. Go to Settings --> System --> Blackberry
a. Once Blackberry loads, scroll to the right until you are in the Utility Tab
b. Tap on Register Now.
c. After a few seconds you should receive an email in the System Account saying that your device is registered in the network.
This is critical because that registration sends to your device the host routing table and the service books from RIM and your carrier so that your device is correctly provisioned to get Blackberry email.
If after registration you don't get the email in the system account or you don't get PIN it could mean one or more of the following issues:
1. Besides having a data plan with your wireless carrier, do you also have a Blackberry Plan for PDA? (Blackberry Plan for PDA is what AT&T calls it in the USA. If you don't have it, BB Connect won't work)
2. Has an account being provisioned in the BES Server in your organization?
If not you need to ask your BES Administrator to provision one for you.
If yes, you need to ask your BES Administrator to assign an activation password to your account.
After yout BES Administrator assigns the Activation Password to your BES Account, in your device you do the following:
Settings --> System --> Blackberry
Go to the activation tab
Enter your BES Server email account and activation password
Tap on Activate.
If all goes well, after a few minutes (be patient), the activation process will finish and you will start receiving emails in your BB Account.
Let me know how it goes.

v1zca1n0,
Please read my previous post.
Do you get an IP Address?
Settings --> System --> Blackberry (Status Tab).
Are you provisioned with your Wireless Carrier for Blackberry Connect?
Have you been provisioned in your BES Server?
v1zca1n0,
Something comes to mind and this may sound a bit strange but...
Sometimes Wireless Carriers won't activate your BB Connect service if your device's IMEI number is not in the list of devices that support BB Connect, in this case in a Leo.
The way to trick them into doing this is to insert your SIM Card into another device that is supported by the Carrier with BB Connect (ATT Fuze in my case). Install BB Connect and activate it. It should go through with no issues.
Once your SIM Card is registered as a valid card that can use BB Connect, put it back into your device, install BB Connect and you should be good to go.
I know that this sounds like a long shot, but I did it once a year ago to get my ATT Fuze with BB Connect because at that time the Fuze was not supported by AT&T with BB Connect but I had a Tilt and that one was supported.
And now I am using that same SIM Card with an HTC T8285 (Telstra Australia) in the AT&T Network with BB Connect.
Saludos,

Kindly i've followed the installation procedure
but still the name of the device hasn't changed...
my device is HTC jade (touch3G)
Yeah tried it, and I can confirm it..
BBC and BAS couldn't work with HD2 yet..
I got my pin in my X1 but couldn't even connect to the network in HD2.. well it connected for a while.. then it disconnected it self..
kindly i would appriciate a feedback who had tried it on HTC-Jade (Touch 3G) & it worked for him.
was there any tricks to get it work?
i added the reg key "launch130" & added the "SetmodID.exe" in windows folder & running it manually. I installed the bbconnect, & after restrarting the device there was no error, & the application started smoothly. but as for the device name in BBC wasn't changed it's always HTC-Jade. when trying to connect the tunnel & IP address are shown, the PIN=pending....
any comments or suggestions!!!!!!
thank you
anyone????
A possible way to make BB Connect work
Hello all,
I know that the procedure explained in the attached Word document may seem like a long shot; but I think it's worth a try.
I don't own an HD2, but by following this procedure I was able to install and run the Blackberry Application Suite in my Blackstone.
You see, the HTC-BlackStone is not supported by the BAS and an tried many versions of SetModelID.exe and none of those worked, but by changing the Device Model ID in the ROM to HTC-Raphael before flashing I was able to trick BAS and make it install and run with no issues.
If someone wants to give it a try, please let me know whether or not it worked.
I am attaching two files: One is a screen shot of my Blackstone being identified by Blackberry Connect as an HTC-Raphael and the second one is a Word document explaining the procedure on how to change the Device Model ID.

i want to buy the HD2 and need BBConnect. What you have done looks the same as the setmodelid cab that has been floating around for a while. it worked for me on my TP2 but apparantly not on the HD2. I have attached it for reference (and a LEO one someone posted that I have no idea if it works). is what youare doing differnet?

Yes, it's different because this change is made to the ROM file before it's flashed into the phone.
I tried all versions of SetModelID.exe I could find and none worked for me when testing Blackberry Application Suite because BAS would always say that I had an unsupported device (a BlackStone).
I don't use BAS but I did all those tests because I suspect that both products, BAS and BB Connect, use the same detection scheme.
So, if someone with an HD2 is willing to test this we would know for sure if BB Connect will work or not.
Hi,
not sure if this is the best place for this question, if not please redirect me.
MS have recently introduced the requirement of a passcode when pairing BT devices. Can this be disabled in any way.
Thanks
Jake
Try 2003 or 0000
The pairing code is requested by the other device, so look in the manual of this. A usual simple code is 0000 for many devices.
hi thanks for your replies.
I've perhaps been a tad vague, let me add some more info.
PREVIOUSLY....
when adding a Zebra QL220plus via bluetooth to a Motorola Symbol MC5590 with Windows Mobile 6.* the requirement to enter a PASSCODE never occurred...ever
Now when using
Zebra QL 220plus (as above) via BT to a MC55A0 with Windows Mobile 6.5 the requirment to enter a PASSCODE keeps coming up. Even though authentication on the Zebra printer is disabled
I just cannot figure out whether it's the OS or the mobile unit.
This problem has been passed down to me to resolve even though I was not previously responsible for the setup. So if I come across as inept at any point you now know why
There could be an option on the device like "require secure connection" or alike - remove that. You find it when setting up the outgoing serial link (or probably other service) towards a certain device. Usually the passcode for pairing indicates such a secure connection afaik. It is then still a matter of the device if such non secure connections would mutually be allowed. Good luck...

Hi Tobbbie,
I'm guessing when you refer to 'device' you are talking about the printer. I can confirm that the Bluetooth settings on the printer are as:
Authentication = off
Encryption = off
there are no other options available from the printers main display that would have anything to do with security.
As to the MC55A Handheld I cannot find anything to disable with regards to authentication/encryption/passcodes etc. I did come across something about registry editing but I would really like to avoid that option if at all possible; although if that turns out to be my ONLY option.....
Thanks
Jake
No, with device I meant the handheld. So it seems you have no choice but to contact the handheld vendor. Mind that the handheld has to support the printer profile (BPP, I think) to succesfully connect to the printer via BT.
I cannot give any further advice here, sorry + good luck
