I know it's a very long shot this will get answered here, but anyway..
I have the Intex Aqua Fish, the latest phone running Sailfish OS 2.0. At some point I had to set a screen PIN that I cannot for the life of me remember now, and when I try to reset the phone (have to telnet to it and select from a menu), it AGAIN asks for the pin. Is there a workaround?
Head on to http://together.jolla.com and post your query there.
By any means were you able to get through this stupid issue? i have jolla phone and they said it can only be recovered if i ship it all the way back to them in finland from india or type in the correct pin obviously.

I try go to Program\O2Install Type, then there are two options for chossing:
+ Basic
+ Corporate,
but when I chose corporate option, it displays a box for you input number but I don't know what number I have to put in, any Guru please advise how can I use the corporate option,
Thanks Alot
Orangevn
its 0506, though using the search may have been a quicker way of finding the answer :roll:
I'm not a guru, but the code for Corporate install is 0506.
Have you also upgraded to last O2 ROM? Now may be the great time to do so it if you haven't installed all the paraphernalia yet.
About to get my new xda delivered today after the other one broke.
Have never used corporate mode.....anyone fancy listing how it will benefit me if I do? Does everyone here use corporate?
Cheers

corporate mode
I am trying to do the installation in the corporate mode and when i put in 0506....when i enter the 6 it gives a message saying "welcome corporate user......o2 active will not be installed" and when i give ok the screen goes back to the one it was and it doesn't install the corporate mode
any suggestions or ideas that can help solve this problem and the cause of this problem?
thanks
That is correct Corporate mode will not install the O2 crap on to the device, you don't get anything extra, infact you get less - the big advantage is a much more stable device - Mike
yeah i know that but if u read my question correctly then IT DOESN'T INSTALL IN THE CORPORATE AFTER THAT MESSAGE....IT GOES BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SCREEN AS WHERE I HAD STARTED FROM. IT IS STILL IN THE PERSONAL INSTALL MODE. I CANNOT INSTALL IT INTO THE CORPORATE MODE!!!!
AS SOON AS I ENTER THE LAST DIGIT 6 IT GIVES ME THAT MESSAGE AND THEN GOES BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SCREEN AND DOESN'T INSTALL CORPORATE MODE.
HELP WITH THAT PLS
THANKS
yeah unfortunatly from what i have seen it is impossible to actually change from basic to corporate mode without actually hard reseting the device sorry mate
All the stuff that O2 want you to have on the screen, mostly shortcuts from what I remember that very easily put you on the internet. Some people love it others hate it, and no guess as to which camp I reside in. The O2 Active has given me major problems in the past, but once I got rid of it the device has been great (XDAIIs aka Blue Angel and the XDA-Exec).
The Active interface simply slowed down the device to the point it either crashed or ground to a halt, both problems required a softreset, since binning the Active and using Corporate mode I have had very few problems with either device.
I have gone one step further this time though with the new phone (when it arrives) is a factory stock HTC Artemis so there will be no O2 rubish loaded from day one, I also can't be bothered to wait for O2 to decide IF they are going to make this device available, will probably switch network provider at the same time to save some cash though! - Mike
How can I solve problem with the PINPAD which is not showing at begining when the device is starting? My SIM card is secured by PIN code.
Hello
Why don¨t you simply use the built in keyboard
P-O
I think he means when you put a password over your SIM card and it asks you to enter a code when your phone first starts up...?
Buru898
In such a case. I belive that he has to perform a hard reset to recover a proper operation of the "phone system".
Marek1, what made you to come into this situation? Normally the phone-pad comes up by default.
P-O
Well yeah but don't tell me that tell him.
I guessed that because his post says PINPAD when the device is starting up.
But could be that the keyboard doesn't show up when he needs to enter the information for the PIN?
Hey Marek1 could you try and post a screenshot?
After having had my HD2 (4th HTC phone) for around 5-6 months, had to do a hard reset ftaer having a problem with the HD2 not recognizing my phone PIN #. Having now had the problem and doing a online search, seems this bug is a fairly common problem. I'd installed a couple of new Garmin maps (China mainland) and altered the gmsup file to read "LOCAL_VER=TAIWAN" from "LOCAL_VER=CHINA" which allows for the use of co-ordinates within GarminXT.
On the next restart of Garmin it started in Traditional Chinese, as opposed to
English or Simplified Chinese. No problem just changed the language settings to what I wanted.
Used the HD2 for several days without incident (and had not made any other changes or installed anything else), then used my Garmin on my HD2 to navigate a distance of around 380km (usually not a problem). Twice during the journey an advisory popup appeared with something like "Garmin unable... not enough memory... must shut down" - a message I've never had before, on any of my HTC's let alone the HD2.
Garmin then automatically shut down and I simply restarted it from my home screen shortcut, which it did without issue. The first time this popup message appeared I'd covered at least 150km. The second time I'd travelled another 80km or so. After it had occured again, I turned the phone off, waited 5-10 seconds and then turned the phone on again. The HD2 requested my usual SIMcard PIN, followed by the phone unlock PIN (simple 4 digit numeric PIN) and as usual I entered my respective PIN's (I use the same 4 digit PIN for both the Simcard and phone unlock). The Simcard unlocked fine, but the phone did not and I was presented with something along the lines of "incorrect password, please re-enter..."
In the end, after trying everything I could think of... soft reset, removing battery, trying PIN... 1234, 0000, 9999, and a few times getting "too many password attempts... enter a1b2c3 to continue". Once I got home a few days later I tried connecting to my two computers via activesync in the hope that they'd access what I wanted to copy etc. Unfortunately that did not work as both activesync connections asked for the phone to be unlocked, even though they'd been setup to unlock the HD2 automatically. I realised that inevitably I'd have to do a dreaded hard-reset. Pity as my last backup with Spb Backup and PIMbackup were done many months ago.
In my searches online I did find a couple of posts that made some references to users experiencing the same 'HD2 lockout' having installed Traditional Chinese and then having this problem. Though there seems there are far too many different situations that could also cause the HD2 to lock.
Also it's not the first time I've played or altered, installed GarminXT... and I don't think it's the first time I've had GarminXT start in Traditional Chinese. It maybe just coincidence... but for now, I'm trying to setup my phone back to the way it was after the dreaded reset.
password changed has happened to a fair number of people, and is probably nothing to do with the garmin stuff.
Never read of anyone finding a way around it other than hard reset, though.
i vaguely remember reading that the mentioned PIN issue is sometimes related to swype...might want to look into that avenue.
It's just happened to me. I installed swipe keyboard and done soft reset, then entered my pin but hd2 will not accept it. Any one found a solution to this?
Had this once too, though I didn't know anything about swype back then .(Didn't have it on my phone)
I simply turned off the device, removed the battery AND THE SD CARD then re-insert them after 5 minutes it should accept PIN normally (If not, then try to remove the sd card and don't re-insert it just boot) . (happened to me when i Just left Android DS V5 and went to WinMo, My device wouldn't accept the PIN)
Found this. Don't have a clue how to use this, but maybe someone knows and can shed some light.
Just check out the 'Solution' at the following address. I have not got permission to enter link or full web address.

Hope this can rescue my hd2 and all who have the same pin lock problem.
I also experienced this problem that HD2 forgot my PIN. even 2 my colegues too.
back in the time when I got stuck on "enter PIN" screen, I found somewhere on the internet, that HD2 only forgets PIN, when you have exchange server set up. They say that it's not HD2's fault, but microsoft's. it's just a matter of time, when you get to this problem. the only solution is HardReset without any possibility backing your data up! since then I don't use exchange at all... never again in my HD2!
HD2 unlock Pin Code for SURE....
goto: HKLM/Microsoft/Software/Shell/Lockscreen/
check for DWord: Active and change it to '0'
check for Dword: Enable and change it to '0'
check for Dword: ShowLockScreenPicker and change it to '0'
reset your device and enter ur password and it will accept it.. now in settings u can navigate to Lock option and disable it easily only if u remember your code and it does not accept the code.
okay. i decided to buy the A500 tonight. after reading all the threads, it sounds like a good purchase. but when i looked at the demo they had on the showroom floor, it had a password on it.
i don't plan on putting a password on it. i just want it next to my bed and not have to worry about it. what i'm worried about is someone (like a friend) putting a password on it. the reason i ask this is because when i was looking at the demo model tonight, no one knew what the password was...so i "soft" reset it via metal wire into the reset hole AND also by holding up on the volume rocker. but in either case, it didn't do anything except for pop up the Android guy with an exclamation symbol. when it rebooted, it was at the password lock screen again. nothing changed.
after looking here for related threads, it says that if you don't know the password, then you're in deep kaka doodie (it has to be sent back to Acer).
i don't know how many of you still remember what CMOS is, but in order to set a boot password, you have to know the master password (which you need to know in order to make any CMOS changes to begin with. such as enabling the boot password option). that way the person who built the computer will be the first and only person to set the master password, preventing his/her jerk friends from pulling a prank by preventing him/her from booting their computer.
so my question is: is there a "master" password required to set the lock screen password?
my phone has a password/pattern. the reason i have it is because i leave my phone at my desk at work or on the coffee table at my friends. and i don't want them looking at my stuff. but the tablet is gonna be in my room and i don't have to worry about anyone looking at it or stealing it except for myself.
another question: will the custom roms bypass this password feature?
thanks for reading this far. sorry if i'm asking stupid questions, but i guess after the frustration at the store tonight with the demo model, i'm a bit annoyed. i never got to actually use the device and i still bought it anyways on the grounds that i would be happy with it (that sounds dumb now that i think about it). heck...its still sealed in its box & sitting on my bed as i'm typing this. but the password feature really sounds like a danger.
EDIT: the reason i'm asking this right now is because i JUST opened the box and am now charging it (for at least the recommended four hours), but i'll be asleep in a couple. so i won't find out til morning. but i'm hoping an XDA boarder can fill me in before i catch some Zzzs.
As far for a master password I've no idea if there's one...
Regarding installing new Roms, yes it will reset the password. I don't know if it's because the CWM wipe and factory reset but it will clean any password you have set.
You can use the tablet without any password. It's very easy to set it up under adjustements/security.
And I do agree with you that having a demo pc/tablet/phone is the most idiotic idea of marketing or sales strategy I can think off.
I've got my Iconia for 5 weeks now, gone trought a few roms, got back to stock but in the middle I've learned the "how to..." At the end I'm so happy with this tablet and how flexible is that I'm recommending it to all my friends.
Hope that helped.
Cheers,
very helpful. thank, mate. cheers!
just for your info, the ICONIA A500 is delivered without any obligation of using any passwords of any kind. In the showroom they have encrypted the tablet to protect it it from any unauthorized use.
In fact only if you want to whether protect your tablets content to be visible if ever it is stolen, or if you want to use enterprise (exchange activesync push) email capabilities, you have to encrypt your device, which then will oblige you to enter a master password during startup and a PIN password to exit sleep state.
So of corse no password protection except if you want it.
Hello,
So here is the thing: I sold my phone without knowing that there is such thing like frp. I did factory reset/wipe from recovery, packed a phone and sent to new owner. Today he received a phone and mailed me that he cannot log in because it asks for old gmail account. At first I tried to find some sort of bypass but guy didn't have otg cable so I decided to change my password to temporary one, give it to him while being on the phone, then give him code that I received(two factor authentication) and he tried to log in but it just kept coming back to login screen. I read that there is such thing like 72 hours lockdown when password was changed. I told the guy to go and buy otg cable and then myself changed gmail password to new one again. And here are my questions:
1. After 72 hours which password is it going to require? The working one, the last changed or the password that was last used on that device?
2. Is this method still relevant with Android 6.0 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ8_qbj1DPQ ?
3. Is it possible to just arrange warranty repair and get it unlocked in Samsung repair center?
4. Do you know any other solution that could help me?
You sold the guy a non-functioning phone and it's your fault. Give him his money back.
