Password Lock Solution Wm6

[Xeon]

As far as we noticed, Wm6 has a terrible bug. Locked device with a password wont be recognized if battery was removed. Also it resets the clock. I believe there is a solution for the password thing. here's what i've done

1- Download and install this cab file Omega-Pass : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OTW2NZT6 ( A password application that is gonna be used )

2- Go to the application and set the Password- Now the builtin lock application will take the settings from Omega-Pass .

3- youll notice that Windows Lock will require a password as if set as alphanumeric

4- Go back to the Built-in Lock Application and reset the password u want if u need a numerical form Only.

I think also u can just install the application and go directly to the builtin lock application and configure it but didnt try that. Dont wanna risk it i already had 4 hard reset

Now if you do all 4 steps even if u remove the battery for an hours , it will keep recognizing your password. The clock will be reset only. That worked for me .

Please inform me if it works for you also.

Karim.

well it may work but i just dont use password lock so ... it is useless to me, but this software does not fix the bug only prevents it from happening

[Xeon]

Yes of course it interacts with the Builtin Lock code. if we can know how it's preventing it from happening maybe we can fix it ?

i am not so sure where exactly the bug is, but backup battery is only enabled when the main battery is depleted... but when you remove the main battery the power needed for preserving the basic information like time, date, lock password is not transferred from backup battery maybe this is power management or driver bug, and i have seen this in WM5 too

Buth at this time this problem is not yet solved

The thing i dnt understand is that WM6 devices Dont have a Backup battery as i saw on a HTC Touch device. So is it that BA is not 100% compatible with Wm6 ? or it's just a bug with all wm6 devices ?

[leelouch]

well I tried, it seem working. for my case, I didn't need to remove the battery to have the problem, after a simple soft reset (after a reconfiguration with the advance reconfiguration tool), the password was lost.
So I do not know if i will have the problem again .
hope not

how did you get in your BA once the password is lost?
i just got my BA and installed WM6...
im down at my 20mins per retry... :(

Once the password is forgotten , You gotta hard-reset it. This solution only prevent it from being forgotten and cannot restore it.

Hi Guys..

The only way to skip this password screen taht i found was it:
Do a HARD hard reset (All data will be lost).

just soft reset first your device, than after you see the stripped screen, press the record and camera button quickly before the the version appears (radio,etc).. then you will see the three options..
enable kitl should be no
clean registry hive should be yes
format storage should be yes

to choose just use the camera and record to change the options...

No more..

I hope that it help.

I got a unit from my girlfriend...in the process of soft spl upgrade something went wrong. Now I have a device asking for a password to unlock it. The old password was "prettyphone" and this password does not work now.

Now I cannot get the unit to connect via activesynch because it is asking for a password.

I press reset and do the above but all I got is a screen normally u see when you do rom upgrade...Please give me advise how to hard reset.

thanks

Hi Haile...

Did you these steps correct???
After you press the reset button with the stylus, immediately press and hold the record and camera buttons.

It should work.

No more.

wat i did when i experienced the password not accepted thingy was, when i did the hard reset, we needed to follow the "no, yes, yes" sequence. what i did was not choose yes on the option where it asked to reformat rom(i forgot what was written on the display). i think i chose "no,yes,no". after that, everything was still there and the password on startup was gone. hope this helps to some of u guys.:D

If the device is locked,when the device is locked how can you download and install something...? Please somebody tell this clown that a device locked on password on WM6 ,you cannot access the phone whatsoever at all, WMDC will ask you to "autenticate" on the phone if you want connection...
The guy who gives this solution hasnt got a clue just as much Bill Gates hasnt.

[mike5eagle]

yes it worked on mine this way as well.
Obviously the correct password wouldnt work...
Id like to see that billionaire giving some appologies for that....
Anyway mind this first;
Press and keep holding Camera and Record buttons .
Press reset in the same time
Keep holding Camera and Record another 2 more seconds .

Using the same two buttons do the No-yes-yes then
Attention :press just "OK" . pressing reset wont work.
IK does unlock .it just did my HTC .
