help password changed suddenly!

I have WM 6.1 instaled
I changed the SIM card, I put the battery again, but now I'm not able to enter windows. I write my password but it say it isn't correct. I can't understand it!!!!
even if I put my old SIM or without sim, now it doesn´t recognise my password.
I wouldn´t like to reinstall everyth just now :-(
what can I do??
please...
thank you

It was said multiple times here, that you should not set up device password because of intermittent errors related to it. Now all ypou can do is HardReset and recover from last backup. Or maybe it's time to make your first backup?

Ohh!!!! no!!!!! mierda!!!!
thanks anyway.
Yes, I haven't got a backup, but I'm not at home so I can't do anything! mierda mieda y mierda!

here u go without a HARD RESET
just go to the hard reset menu by pressing camera+record and reset.
Select yes for clean registry hive and no for others than save.
it will remove password but u may have to re-install some of ur softwares and re configure some settings.
All ur msgs, contact etc. remain intact.
I CAN CONFIRM THIS CAUSE IT HAPPENS WITH ME TOO AND YES TODAY.

This is in fact a Hard Reset (cleaning registry) without formatting internal flash - so files from it are not lost, but most applications will need regular reinstallation.

well it has been said that when you want to remove the battery for some reason, just press the power button to put the device on standby, wait 20 seconds, and then remove the battery without waking the device, this way your registry stuff remains intact and it is a lot harder to screw your pasword.
krishan2207's way is more proper for your case, you will suffer almost nothing this way

Device extremly slow[Solved]

Hi all,
When i used my device this morning i could not start messenger or any other program. The device is also unable to connect with active sync. I haven't got anything installed over the last days.
It just happend. Windows is extremly slow, i don't have contacts anymore, no pim's or anything. The phone did remeber my last calls and such. My email accounts are also missing.
I have done some soft resets and now the device is stuck on the windows mobile splash screen (the green screen with windows logo and name).
I don't know what to do How can i get my device to work again?
Edit
The device has started after 20min at windows screen. Touchflo 2D has not loaded and i can not make calls. I can't start any program, it gives an error that the program can not be started because it has not been signed with a certificate or some component is missing.
Thx in advance for reading.

If you have an SD card inserted I would try removing it and see if that improves things!
I had a similar problem with an Xda Zest which turned out to be a corrupt SD card. Once it was formatted again everything was bach to normal.

I removed the SDcard, tried another one (also 4GB), then used the old one again (formatted) .
But no luck.
I will try again removing some software if the device allows it. Will update.

dont put any SD card in the device
and try
Start/configuration/sistem/Erase memory
and there just put 1234 and press yes
This metod erases everithing from your device leaving it just how it came from the factory

You may also perform a hard reset as you have mentioned to receive a message "some component is missing". Hard reset should fix any software (or Operating system) issues with your phone.
WARNING: Hard reset will erase all your data and the customizations you have made to the phone.
Refer to the following for instructions on how to hard reset:

I have done a hard reset without the SD & sim card. It solved all the problems. I was able to recover my contacts with ActiveSync.
Thx all for helping

Fatal OS crash

Earlier today, the OS on my phone crashed as I was receiving a text message. The phone simply froze up. I tried to do a hard reset, but nothing happened, so I removed the battery, waited several seconds, and put it back in. When I turned the phone back on, the OS did not completely start up. In stead, I received the following error messages:
Storage Memory
"Storage memory is critically low. If the storage memory is not increased, other programs may not be able to start. Use File Explorer to delete files that are no longer needed or move some files to a storage card."
Connection Setup
"Error in the database"
"The file '---' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
I attempted to connect the device to the computer in the hopes of simply flashing the ROM, but ActiveSync will not even connect to the phone. That being said, is there a way to reset the phone to a previous state so that I can access it? As it stands right now, I can do absolutely nothing on the phone, not even get into the Start menu. The phone does not work, either, as I cannot send or receive any phone calls.
Help please... anyone...
Full device name: HTC 8525 AT&T (unlocked for T-Mobile)
OS version: WINDOWS MOBILE 6.5
RAM: Total, 64MB
ROM: Total,128MB

When all else fails try the search function.I believe you will need to flash a new ROM from the SD card.Perhaps a more knowledgeable member can verify this,however i think it will help you out.The first is a link to the Wiki for SD flashing a Hermes,the second is a link to the search results,via forum search, for SD card flashing.

Good luck

press the top two buttons in together and keep them pressed ,then reset with the stylus at the same time. You will get a tri coloured screen (Bootloader mode)with your ipl and spl on it and it will say serial at the bottom. If it says spl x.xx olipro then flash any hermes rom to it, if it doesnt then find a rom from the manufacturer of the hermes i.e. if its a o2 trion get an o2 trion rom. When you have the rom downloaded simply connect it to the pc as you normally do and run the flash program. Dont worry about the parts of the rom flash where it says have you an active sync connection, just tick the box that you have and carry on with the flash do that and your phone will be working again, hopefully

Much thanks
Many thanks, all
I managed to get everything reloaded, although all of my personal information is gone now... oh well, a small price to pay, right?

Why didn't he just do a hard reset...

keyboard pwd lock

Hi All,
first of all , hope to put this issue in the correct forum path....
my friend has a problem with the Pro2, as you can see by the attach , concerning the keyboard password lock.
His password doesn't works and also performing all the reset type , after the reboot the mobile starts with the keyboard locked (only emergency number is possible call).
he has reported me that at the first time, the mobile has gave to him an alphanumeric code to try to unlock the code but it doesn't solved the issue.
probably re-installing the software (6.5) the problem is solved but he doesn't want loss the date / appointments due the fact he has a doctor.
please help us.
thanks

Hi again,
it's appreciated also if someone know if there's a way to perform the backup in this condition.
Thanks again

Did he ever use Activesync or Google Sync? If he did, most of his information sould be saved that way. Also, you may want to try doing a hard reset but only after exausting all attempts to back your data up. Send a couple of PM to Senior memebers or Moderators, you might get some help that way!!
Good luck!!

thanks for your post....
principal problem is that is not possible connect the mobile to pc in order to use activesync or other program due the fact the mobile is locked....and not save data has been performed before....

Double chack that his SIM card is in correctly.

Same exact thing happened to me. My phone battery was at about 10% and when I tried the password that I had set... it didn't work. This made me frantic and very ticked off. I had a ROM on my SD card so i just reflashed from there. Since then I always install a different locking app then the stock one. I just can't trust it. So I think youre only option is to hard reset and hopefully your contacts are saved to the SIM so they won't be deleted.

[URGENT] Help needed, INVALID SECURITY CODE

Hello,
My phone has 4 number security code you have to enter when the phone's being unlocked(did in settings, default winmo lock but HTC made an unlocking skin on it).
I've taken out a battery while the phone was on, then turned it back again in 3 hours. I move the unlock image, and as usual dialpad appears asking for security code. I enter as I usually do and it says INVALID CODE. I'm like - WTF? Tried again, nothing. Tried dozens of times, nothing. Reboot doesn't help. Now it even stopped saying INVALID CODE, when you press the unlock button it doesn't do anything.
I had the "lock" feature working fine for weeks.
QUESTION: What to do(without hardreset)? Phone is set to sync when USB connected, Windows Mobile Device Centre says unlock your phone first before sync. I can't do anything, can't make call(i can receive it), can't check messages or anything, i can't unlock it ffs! Help please, any ideas are welcome

you aren't alone,happened to quite a few.
did you recently install swype 3.9?(there are other reasons)
i've not seen anyone get out without hard resetting.

i have miri rom with swype pre installed
maybe there's a way to upload a file to storage card that will change some registry keys? problem will be how to run it

About the only thing I can think of is if you were able to find a way to put something in the \windows\startup folder that fixed it - but like someone here already said - odds are you're going to have to do a hard-reset.

It happened to me awhile back...i tried to find a way but didnt manage to find it, i had to hard reset..
