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.

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..
My request is quite weird I agree, but i have no solution . I have enabled exchange sync for my company email id and hence phone is pattern locked. 3 wrong attempts and thats it, it will ask for recovery password(god only knows whats that..!!! itried everything) and then complete data wipe..it happened with me twice..once because of my little nephew and once becaise of my friend..following are my questions, if anyone could help
1. Is there any app/way to display warning/custom message to anyone using my phone during pattern entry/pin entry etc?
2.What on earth is recovery password for Galaxy note..i tried samsung account password, gmail pwd, company email pwd, network pin, 0000, 000000, 1234 etc..nothing worked..hence data wiped out..
3. once google restore worked perfectly and everything was restored. now it simply doesnt download my apps from backup . can anyone tell me exact PROCEDURE for DATA/APP restrore from google backup after a reset.
appreciate your help./

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.

Hi all,
This isn't S7 Edge specific, but I am trying to set up my Google account on it.
During setup of the phone, it asks me to enter my google password however :-
- My password is very secure (I use a password manager so cannot reasonably type it in)
- I have 2 factor authentication enabled
On previous phones, I would usually disable 2 Factor, change my password to a simple password, set the phone up, change my password to a secure one, re-enable 2Factor auth, update my google account on my phone to the secure password (and all other devices!)
I'm looking for the best way to do this, without the mess.
Things I've tried
Set up an App-Specific password
Used a code generated using Google Authenticator on my old phone
Used one of my backup codes generated generated from my account
All the above options say the password is invalid.
As Billy Mays once said : "There has to be an easier way!"
Anyone have a sure-fire way to log in, with the least hassle?
I had a similar situation. I use Dashlane. I ended up removing the authenticator from Google using my PC until I set up my gmail. I also opened my google info on the desktop via Dashlane and typed in the 26 character password. Not the easiest, but it worked. I added authentication after setting up all my apps, etc.
This is my first ever post to xda so if I didn't post this correctly please let me know. So where I work they have an app that you can use to check your schedule/hours worked etc. For some reason the app asks for the password for the credential storage before I can use it. I had to look that up online because I didnt know there was a password for it and I'm not 100 percent sure what credential storage is used for. I'm assuming stored usernames/passwords for certain websites? Anyways I found out the password is the same as the 4 digit screen lock password. not a big deal on my phone but on the watch it took me to the security settings menu where I set a screen lock pattern. But now I've changed my mind and don't want the screen lock. I have to unlock the screen to see the watch face I have set. My question is how can I access the security settings menu? I can't do it with my work app. It only took me there because I didn't have a screen lock.
