View Full Version : Permanently unlock device when sync with Vista

Hello,

I upgraded my Wizard to WM6 (faria) and I have a problem when synchronizing with Vista (Windows Mobile Device Center).

I have a password on the PDA and each time I connect to my Vista desktop the system asks me to type in the password (actually you have to do it on your PDA, not the desktop itself) to begin synchronization. It's irritating!!!

When I did the same on XP + AS 4.5 I needed to type in the pass just for the first time (then the system asks you if you want to remember it).

Is there any way to turn on this feature (i.e. remember password) in Vista?

Yes I find this annoying as well. I'm using Universal/Dopod 900(WM6)

That's weird... Exactly the same problem as you lot but when I plug my WM5 phone in it gives me the option to save the password. Seems to apply specifically to WM6 combined with Vista. I would think that this is one of their security "features".

For me it looks like an error not a security feature. Hope they will fix that soon.

i think this will work!
Go to ActiveSync -> Options -> Security then
Prompt me to ser my policy for automatically connectin my locked device. The propt woll appear the next time i connect my device.

Check the box and i think u r done :D

ActiveSync??? We're talking about WMDC on Windows _Vista_ for which there is no longer AS. Typo or wrong OS?

Guys,

Would you happen to know how many PCs you can synchronize with WM6? Max used to be two with other versions but I'm not sure about this one.

Sorry for posting the question here - I just could find a thread specifically on this issue.

Thanks!

It worsk the same as with WM5 - so you will be asked for password (typed on PC) and then again whether WMDC should save it or not.

Just so everyone knows, this is one of the listed fixes for WMDC 6.1 which was released yesterday.

Edit: Hikari beat me to it...

I have all the latest updates for Vista and WWDC and it still makes me put in my password every single time...Any tips?

Not possible. Just download the latest WMDC, uninstall previous verision and install this one. Should work.
