i bet you guys changed battery without disabling the password check...
and havent read the forum for the same problems until now. :D
dont worry... i've been in the same situation...

Sad to say...
your password is LOST.
there are NO SOLUTIONS to revive your password.

but there are ways to save your storage data...
WARNING:
like i said it's sad to say because all your
customization will vanish alongside this procedure.
but you can still save some personal data.

SOLUTION:
press and hold the Camera + Record button
soft reset while holding them...

there will be a display of three items with a NO toggled default.
use the Camera button to toggle YES/NO
and use the record button to Cycle thru the menu list.

Hard Reset Using this option
1. - NO
2. - YES
3. - NO
option

this means you're just clearing up your registry
without touching your storage data.

then Press the Mail button
(second button from the left above your green key)

then if you booted the WM6 and inside it...
use some backup softwares to save your
data (SMS/Contacts/Emails/My Documents)

after you have backed up what you want backed up.

Hard Reset again then use NO/YES/YES or NO/NO/YES
to format your storage...

after the hard reset then reinstall everything again...


:D hope that helps.

Just to cofirm that the same thing happened to me shortly after upgrading to WM6. I was on a train on my way to a really important meeting.... Grrr.

I was just grateful for being able to save my data - the loss of cusomisations was the least of my worries!!

These days I don't password protect my device...
