Hi guys, I have WM 6 running on my Blue Angel and I used it to record a seminar (Resco Audio Recorder). The battery went dead and since no charger, I replaced the battery with a fully charged one. Everything was fine, until it requested the password. It wouldn't accept the password, no matter what I did and eventually I had to hard reset, thinking the files were on the memory card. Apparently they weren't and now I need those recordings... I have tried easy recovery but it only works with the SD card on a reader. Anyway to recover data on the phone memory? I;d try anything, even taking it apart if I could stick the memory in a card reader. Is there any solution or am I doomed?

if it's on a ramdisk no dice
if it's on storage
then maybe if you use one of the tools
to make the pda be seen as an usb mass storage controller on the
pc you can try a normal pc undelete tool

I have searched for similar tools with no success. Do you have any one in mind?

i dont think it's recoverable.
it is formatted already
and overwritten by your os.
(unless there's "unformat" for PPC
but that is pointless because it can only
boot in the storage drive so unformat
wont run in a locked drive)

if it's only deleted... it probably/might be possible to undelete.

you should have done "No/Yes/No" on hard reset
to clear the registry hive and not the storage.
but i guess that's too late.
im sorry for your loss.
