Hi to all!

I`m new in this forum and ba world.
Last week purchased spv m2000 with wm2003se and simlock. After reading wiki I unlocked SIM, unhided an unlocked EXTRom , resized DOC and upgraded to latest radio rom and wm6 (thx Helmi for great job).
I did also some set up things in wm6, for example password (something like - "if device is unsed for 30 min. you must insert password") same as my PIN.
My battery after whole day of exploring new features and programs became week (10% - you may loss your data..., etc) and I decided to push power button and replace with another one. But I forget that other one is also week (5%). After soft reset and booting wm6 asked me for a password to unlock system - and I was surprised coz wm6 told that password is incorrect - apparently lost all my settings.
Hard reset and boot options helped with sweeping whole system. So I must now install again all programs and patches.
I don`t know if this is normal wm6 behaviour (I`ve read wm6 is data lost proof - this feater was major cause of upgradind) or I did something wrong with switching batteries.

Best regards

I do confirm this problem.
If unlock password was set,after you changed the battery,in the first boot the phone would be No radio,so you should reset it again.Then the problem came,all the password you typed was incorrect,you could not get into the desktop.
Even after you hv hard reset your phone.You will also need to clean the registry,that is incredible.
Can any one figure out it?
It is a serious problem.

I have just the same problem that with my PDA2k. I upgraded to WM6 and put in a Phone Password. When I came to reboot the device and enter the password, it was not recognizing it :(( tried to hard reset etc but still got stuck on the Password screen no matter what I do?

Any help on this pls pls?????

Hello, I just got the same trouble on WM6 Trinity P3600 (AXL ROM from 2007-08-30). So possibly this is common DOPOD ROM bug?

Also have the same problem with XDA IIs. Tried to reload the new ROM but the enter password is still there. Any other solution?

this is called hard reset :) it wipes all of your installed software and settings. it is like freshly installed windows

Dear Xplode , what on earth is the reason behind the blocked password and reseted clock if u remove the battery ? ( backup batter working ). Another question , any idea if i can use a 3rd party application replacement for the Lock application ?

Before you replace the battery, turn off security lock on device. Works for me and is not too.... much hassle.
