Hard reset is the only way for you :(

Yes but tell me how to do it ??

All I can find is -


The reverse side cover opening, 15 seconds waiting once
The reset button you push


Which would either mean you remove the cover, wait 15 seconds, then reset, or you hold the reset button for 15 seconds.

Beyond that it's look in the manual time (assuming you have one in a language you can understand)

That is only part of the process, and in terrible english.

To do a full reset (completely wipes the rom from a backup somewhere)

1. Take out all cards and disconnect the USB
2. Connect the power supply.
3. Flip the phone over and open the battery compartment. Leave the battery in place.
4. You'll find a SECONDARY reset switch just below the battery on the opposite side from the power supply. Press and hold for at least 15 seconds.
5. Replace the battery cover and flip the phone back over. Don't turn it on.
6. Open the Key panel. Press and hold 'FN' and 'F', then press the power button for 2-3 seconds.
7. When the phone reboots, you'll see the usual Willcom screen, and then a white menu with two options. Press 2 for a full reset to factory default.

It is possible that there are hidden options in this menu and it would be possible to switch the ROM at step 7. Any rich hackers wanna give it a try?

Also, manuals for this phone (WS011SH) are available online in Japanese:

As you mouse over each manual, check your status bar for the filenames, which are in English. That will give you at least the title of the manual....
