Hi
Is there a solution to avoid the exchange policy lock screen code? Apps like lockpicker do not work yet with Froyo.
Thanks
try unchecking ssl encryption in exchange settings.

Ok this may sound really dumb but I was messing with my MDA last night and set up Exchange Activesync to sync with my work email.
Apparently the email admins (not known to me) enabled the device password policy. After I deleted my exchange activesync settings, the password setting is still there!
Yes, I already tried going into the "lock/password" setting option in the control panel but since the security feature was enabled through the Exchange policy, those options to remove them are grayed out!
Does anyone know of a way to remove this? I'm assuming there MUST be some registry settings I can edit??
I tried playing around with the registry but I'm not that familar with WM 5 registry so I didn't want to mess it up further.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Device Reset? That's what I did with my MotoQ. I think it is a registry setting though.
I was not able to find info anywhere on MS site how to reverse the darn thing. Even when I removed the policy from the Exchange system testing security settings, it would still prompt for the password.
Let us know.
I have the exact same problem. My device now locks after 1 minute, extremely annoying.
Does anybody have an answer to this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Well... what about talking to the exchange admin and find out the password?
I think you should ask to your exchange admin to remove security policies for your account and resync it !
Have you ever considered WHY there is a password policy enforced?
Maybe to secure the device when left unattended?
And there MUST be a policy enforced to enable a pushed remote wipe, in case you lose the darn thing.
In that case a password policy is the most simple way to do this.
I'm an Exchange Admin myself, and I also enforce a password policy.
So I guess they wont help you with removing.
And even when you remove it via the registry, and you sync it again directly with the server, the policy is enforced again.
So you end up with a device you cannot sync again with your work email.
But a lock policy of 1 minute is harassing somebody, it must be a mistake.
In that case you should contact the exchange admins.
It turned out to be a misclick by myself during the setup. Because I changed the password of my exchange account, I was asked if I wanted a password on my mobile device (according to the exchange admin). Unfortunately I clicked 'yes' en 'next' to fast, leaving me with a device that locked after a minute. Problem was 'solved' by a hard reset.
I suffer from this a whole day even after asking my Exchange admin to turn of that security policy on the server.
Finally I reach a clean solution:
go HKLM\controlpanel\password
turn Dword:HintCounter from 0 to 1
going back to setting-password, now the grayed options return to black.

sadly enough, this doen't work for me...
i also got the pushed policy from the microsoft exchange server so i NEED TO HAVE the $%^&$ password, onterwise when i'm configuring the pushmail it won't accept.
if it was just entering the password it would be okay but it seems that when i use the ''password lock fuction'' and push it on stand-by and back on again the today screen quickly show's to turn black again and sort of reload the page (this hapens in about one second).
and when i don't use the ''password lock fuction'' this doen't happen, so it's clearly the ''lock fuction'' that's causing it.
now how can I disable the password?? i know that normaly you can do this by disabeling this in the menu, but it's turned gray cause of the pushed policy i gues...
and i got the wake-up problem too, but that's also solved when the password is removed... :S
for the rest i can only say, REALY GOOD WORK, and that count's for al,most everything here, i'm really satisfied with my wm6 busniess edition, it rock's!!accept for the thing mentioned above...who can help me out??is there another register tweak to disable the lock?? thanks in advandce and excuse me for my bad english

Dear All,
I've a serious problem with the lock feature in my HD. I access my work's e-mail through Exchange Server account. Once I synced it and it forced a password to be used as security the lock feature cannot be used!!!
Anybody knows how to fix this issue??
I suppose that what you mean is that the lock is disabled / enabled and it's impossible to change that?
That's because exchange server is forcing security policy to your device - you can bypass it by editing registry, but it will come back after every synchronization with exchange server so it's not really a sensible solution and I didn't hear about anything else...well you may force your admins to change security policy but I bet they won't do it
One more thing - in active sync there's an option to not force security policy but I don't know if it works - I've stopped using exchange server and I'm just synchronizing with outlook directly.
Hi Fadi,
maybe this will help (I know it worked for me..)

But I wouldn't tell it your security administrators if I were you

Is there a way to disable password policy on my android when i have Exchange enabled?
Very annoying to enter pass eveytime
On Exchange server itself
The only official way is to disable it on your exchange server itself under Mobile OMA settings, If however it is your company policy, then I did find a workaround for Eris 2.1 roms see my post below, It uses the email app from Driod which did not have password policy built into it

I'm syncing my HD2WP7 with my company's exchange server, it have a security policy that requires a password for unlock my phone ever time, I don't want input anything when I unlock device, I have try to remove the syncing with my company email, but the unlock password request still in there, it's haven't non-password in settings.
Can someone tell me how to clean the security policy on my phone?
can someone help?
My brother installed on his phone credentials to access the Wifi network at the university. The politics of ICS requires to put password in the lockscreen.
From what I looked, he must create an administrator of the device, but how is this done? Is there any way to keep credentials but without the lockscreen password?
anyone?
Some apps may require changing the security settings on the phone.
Corporate email accounts and stuff like that may require the phone to have minimum security settings like unlock screen password.
You either set it on, or you can't use it, AFAIK.
