Do someone know how i can reset the no.1 d5 smartwatch? the watch is locked with a password i have forgotten.
Thanks!
try to remember the password...otherwise the only way is factory reset (settings> backup & reset).
I knew the pin (I had chosen by mistake) and the result was, that every time after energy shut down, I had to put in the pin. In order to deactivate, filling it in again, one should be able to choose "None", but it was grey and I could read "disabled by administrator encryption policy or credential storage".
Absolutely NONSENSE! - I´m administrator on my PC but not in this simple device. I disabled nothing and where then should that be? - I still haven´t been able to find a solution exept reset.
This "administrator encryption policy or credential storage" is relevant to an Android Smartphone and I don´t know yet, how that message is showing on the D5.

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.
So last night I decided to protect my HD2 with the password as many other naive souls apparently did and got burnt with (I learned this the hard way too . So i went to settings, security, phone lock, check marked "Prompt if phone unused for", left all other fields at their defaults - 0 minutes, simple PIN, entered my four digits, re-entered it. turned device off, on - nice password sceen .... and f&&^%&^% .... I can't unlock it WTF it does not accept my PIN ? I was outrgaged.
Of course my last backup was done 3 month ago and hard reset would quite some ammount of data loss. I spent 4 hours today reading and poking around and finaly I made the damn thing to accept my PIN !
Here is what I did:
1. downloaded ceregeditor, connect, run as administrator
2. changed from 1 to 0 the key HKLM/software/microsoft/shell/lockscreen , mentioned in this thread
3. softreset and voila - the thing still prompts for the password, but this time it DOES accept my PIN !
I am running stock T-Mobile ROM 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE which was doing the job OK for me ... until now
moisha, have you had any further lock out and pin not being accepted?
I am a bit confused, as when the phone remains locked then how will the ceregeditor be able to access the hd2 and allow one to edit the registry?
NOT SOLVED: HD2 "forgets" the screenlock PIN
Actually, I tried what was posted and, as anticipated, ActiveSync prevented CERegEditor from connecting to the HD2. Unless there is some way to circumvent the password lock blocking ActiveSync, I can't see how this can work.
Yes if this worked, it could have saved me a LOT of time and hassle a month or two ago. for what it's worth most problems on this seemed caused by Swype or CHT 1.8 (not sure on 2.0). But again I can't see how CEEditor could have access to the Reg without gettingthrough the PIN first.
If that did work tho, great! I got so peeved off last time this happened that I went straight over to Android and haven't returned yet!
Yep, I'm about to do what I was trying to avoid....the dreaded HARD RESET! Curse all those who contributed to this bug. Anyway, if I don't soon find some way to access the files on-board the HD2 device, via an alternate to WMDC (ActiveSync), I'm biting the bullet in 1/2 an hour. I've exhausted all my Google search patience...and still no solution found.
Why don't you try PocketShield or S2U2?
Long story short, my friend has his phone setup with his corporate email. For this he had to setup encryption. One day it asked him to change his PIN, which he did. Then later that day, he rebooted and neither his new PIN or old PIN work. The phone powers on and gets to this message: "Enter your PIN or password to use the encrypted phone memory."
I have tried myself both his old and new PIN, nothing works. I cant connect the phone to a PC to retrieve the pictures. All of the data is stored on the internal 32gb. All he cares about is getting the pictures off.
Any ideas, please let me know, thanks.
Hi. My son purchased this tablet (foolishly) from someone on Offerup. (Didn't even bother to ask the guy to unlock it or if it even worked.. Battery was completely drained..)
After his purchase they deleted their seller account and I have no way to contact them.
I come to the community of G.O.A.T.S. with an issue.
The issue is that the device has a password, and I'm unable to factory reset it because of a message that says: "MDM does not allow factory reset.. Device will now restart".
I've seen the videos where people get to the screen where they use the encryption password incorrectly a few times and the device completely wipes itself.. I'm however unable to get to this screen due to the password currently present on the device. The only thing I can think of would be attempting to flash away the files with Odin, but i'm unsure how.
We even tried a few common passwords, but none of those worked. It says device locked by IT administrator, but we've gotten that message to go away and now it just asks for a password, which we have no way of finding out. Based on my understanding, the device is in retail mode and that will have to be removed for it to function fully.
Anyone have any suggestions or workarounds? I've been browsing through the forums for awhile and haven't seen any indication of what to do.
Please help
My friend purchased the same tablet with the same MDM block on it. I haven't found a single reply or workaround on this as well. Thankfully he got it at an auction for $2 so not a big deal
What do you think about secure your unit by PIN or Password? Do you use it?
I think it is a good idea, if the car or unit get's stolen the system would be locked and i'd have time to change my google password and remove the connection to my account.
But it is a little bit tricky to find these settings, because they are mostly hidden.
Tell me how you think about it.
Just install Google Find My Device and send command to wipe device. Even if it is turned off, as soon as the device gets online, it will be wiped.
