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

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...

Hello all,
How do I disable the password lock from my 8125? I initially set it up when I was synching with my laptop for Exchange email, but now I am using xpress mail and don't want the password lock.
I hope you know the password, if yes then follow:
Start -> Settings -> Password -> (it would ask you the password if it is already set) tab the password -> untick the "prompt if device unused".
Let me know, GoodLuck
Sidd
Sidd,
Thank you. The "Prompt if deviced unused" is greyed out. I'm unable to untick this setting.
But is it Greyed-out with the tickmark ON or OFF??
WIth the tickmark "ON". The long short of this story is that I initially synched up my Exchange email using ActiveSynch. Our corporate policy required this password to be setup. We do not have Exchange SP2, so I couldn't get push email, however I ended up using xpress mail instead to get the push functionality. Now I want to get rid of having to input a password on my device.
Also note that "Password" has been renamed to "Lock" in AKU2 as is also pointed out in the article on all name changes at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1276&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
Its seems like either you have to connect/sync with the same email software on which the password had been setup and find the way to remove the password whilst sync,,, OR ,,, the 2nd option is to just Hard Reset the device,,, BUT ,,, Please dont forget to take your backup before Reseting the device. (I can also help you if you want to backup your TXT messages if u want to!)
I am personally using Alpine(XDA-IIi) and I am Hard-Reseting my device every 4-5 months.
Let me know.

I'm looking for the reg key for Device lock.
My device lock preference was enforced to the security rule by exchange server. Basically it enforce my device auto lock after 15 mins which is too short. So I'm looking if I can modify either disable the Device Lock function or I can change the time out length.
Thanks
Anyone familiar with this area?Any Suggestion would be helpThanks
I am running Xplode's WM6.5 23004 and set up the Device lock as part of using a corporate mobile sync service. Fine during the week but annoying when I'm home. I cannot find how to disable it or at least change the timeout to something longer than 5 minutes! There are a couple of keys in the registry (policies) but these seem to be ignored. And I have the phone off when at home (so no connection to the sync service).
Anyone help please?
Anyone at all know about this device lock? It's configurable from settings > lock. But where it says 'Prompt if phone unused for' I cannot uncheck the box. And the drop down list ranges from 0 minutes to a whole 5 minutes. I can't change it...
Help please.
After installing a new exchange mail account, my HD2 had started to prompt for a screen lock password (maybe a policy issue?).
I did apply one and then tried to remove it (did not enter anything in the password fields and then saved). My HD2 repeated bugging me for a password.
I did set it to 'every 24 hours' .
Now, each time I connect to activesync via USB or after each soft reset, the HD2 prompts fro the password.
Is there a way to provent that? or at least to prevent when connecting via USB to activesync?
Thanks

I don't think this is the HD2, it's the exchange server policy, I used to have the same thing and it was hugely anoying, so I got our infrastructure engineer to remove the policy on our exchange. Now I don't need to login each time
Yes, but isn't there a method to inhibit that passcode request?

You need to edit the registry on the handset and make the following change:
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
After setting this value the option to disable the security is no longer greyed out. Once setting this it does get reset again when connecting to Exchange. There is a utility that can periodically check for the setting and remove it found here:
http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/...curity-policy-for-windows-mobile-devices.aspx
I just got a HD2 with T-Mobile 2 weeks ago and I want to disable the password login policy from my exchange server. So I searched online and found the following solution:
-------
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 edited the registry according to this using TotalCommand, and the password login was disabled for about a day. Then all the sudden, the password login comes back again and the registry value has been set back to 0.
I wonder is something is overwritting the registry value or did I do something wrong?
Thanks for the help!
Password disable
Try searching for zenyee stay unlock, it is free and I have been using it with my TPro 2 and corporate exchange mail password lock for a year. You need to install it and when the lock is sent by your exchange you need to regedit the settings again for the lock code to be turned off. In the future you will get a popup to say exchange has enforced security again but the locking has been disabled.
Works like a charm!!!

I installed Zenyee Stay Unlock, and I checked the Registry which has a value of 1, but the password is still not disabled. Any idea why?
