Hi got my g6 yesterday. I locked some of my content, thinking that the screen unlock pin and the fingerprint is used for unlocking the content. Well I was wrong, when trying to view the locked content the pin I entered was wrong.
When I tried to enable the content lock in the setting it promps me to enter a pin which again and again is wrong
What are my options? I don't know how the encoding works... If I'll move the data to sdcard and reset the phone will the data be lost forever???
Please help!
If it's an actual pin have you tried the same pin you use to unlock the phone when you turn it on?

Hi all,
I've been reading on this wiki/forum for a few weeks and finally yesterday night I had some time to install Prophet VIII on my qtek 200. I installed all apps I had running before and it all worked well.
Now I remember reading something about the "Lock" setting, but didn't exactly remember what and couldn't find it back either. I set it to prompt for a simple pin (3412) and even set my hint to 3412 in case i'd forget. After fiddling around a bit too much, things got messy and had to reset the device. Guess what, I got the device lock prompt and it wouldn't accept my pin code.
It also didn't retain clock settings (went back to 31/08/2006 12:00AM) and some small settings i changed in the control panel either. What's causing this?
I reinstalled everything, now everything works again but I couldn't find anything about this device lock thing, so i didn't enable it for now. Doesn't this feature work in custom roms?
Thanks.
This feature doesn't work with WM6...period.....
Has nothing to do with the cooked versions, but is a glitch in the original microsoft programming.
I'm using PDAViet Mysterious 1.0 and have got the same problem on the Lock setting after a soft reset.
After entered the PIN code, nothing would happen if I click the "unlock" button. It neither unlocks the phone, nor displays a error PIN messagebox. Nothing!
Soft Reset doesn't help. Everytime it asked for the PIN code, and I cannot unlock it since the unlock button seems useless.
At last I had to do a hard reset to restore the system.
I found a unique combination when the lock seems to loose the password and wouldn't allow to access even after soft reset; however every thing seems to be working internally i.e. it receives calls; txt. But it does not synz with Outlook and unlocks.
This happens when I turn off the phone and plug it into the charger and then turn on the power.
Does anyone know any remote-registry tools that can allow to override the password.
Strange thing.. So if I went out and bought a brand new WM6 phone, the lock wouldn't work either?
I have SPB Mobile Shell installed, and have never had any big issues until yday. For some reason it did not want to unlock when I entered the unlock code. I am absolutely sure I entered the right code, but it said it was wrong (I am not talking about the pin, but the code for locking the keypad). I tried to do a soft reset, but I am not even able to get to the pin-code screen login, as I have to unlock the device before this. In the beginning it said the password I entered was wrong, but now nothing even happens when I press the unlock button after entering the password.
Any ideas, or do I really have to do the hard reset??
If I am correct you have to slide to unlock and then enter your 4 digit number to access the phone.
I had this issue a few weeks ago and tried every method to unlock it. The symptoms that you are describing are exactly what I had. I know that I was entering the right number but the message that came up was 'wrong pincode'.
I contacted HTC and they couldn't help me and suggested that I do a hard reset. I reluctantly had to do this and it was reset to factory settings. JUST BACK UP YOUR STUFF. All my footprints were lost. Good luck !!
Yes, thats the exact same problem as I have. Guess hard reset is the only way out.. =/ I do have all the contacts backed up in Outlook, and as far as I know the memorycard will not be deleted, so all photos etc will hopefully not be lost. But anyway quite annoying.. =/
Hi,
I PIN locked my screen. I want to enable encryption and phone asks to change PIN to password.
Still no possible to use PIN? I've seen discussions few years ago about this. No changes?
Entering password all the time to unlock screen.. doesn't sound very convenient.
Having trouble finding anything about this on Google. I have a Verizon Edge+.
When I first got the phone, I set the screen lock type to fingerprint. Today, I set it for password. The password is all lower case, is 4 words, and has spaces in it. Now, when I try to change the screen unlock type, it says "try again". I have tried several times and am sure I'm entering the password correctly. Funny thing is, the password unlocks the phone successfully.
At reboot it ask for PIN which i don't remember
I tried some I used before but nothing, and after 3 times I have to wait hours
Is there a way to bypass that pin WITHOUT lose my personal data?
