Device Lock HELP!!!

[hammermedia]

I put on the settings->lock-> 4 digit password last night and I was able to unlock it several times last night and during the day.

Tonight the phone rang and during the call I was typing the password and now my password does not work. I always use the same password for the device so I'm sure I have the correct one. I keep getting the "password you typed is wrong"

How do I get around it? Is there a way?

I can hard reset if I have to but I have received several text messages while trying to figure this out and if I reset I will loose them all.

Not sure you are going to like this. I had similar experience and discovered there is a password bug in the Microsoft code. It has only bitten me once, but caused me a real problem.

If you still have some tries left, do a soft re-set and wait for a few minutes after the system has booted up. Then I suggest you use the on-screen keyboard, rather than the physical one.

If all else fails, do a hard re-set yourself, rather than allowing the password system to erase your machine, as it will erase EVERYTHING, even the memory card if that is installed

Best of luck
