Help! Locked out of Tytn

[colin_thames]

Can anyone help me get into my phone? For some reason it is no longer accepting the 4 digit password when I switch on the phone. It's not saying the number is wrong, just "Emergency phone calls can be made". It says this as soon as any numbers are entered and before the Unlock soft button is pressed. Pressing the Unlock button seems to do nothing.

I can still browse the phone using ActiveSync. Is there a file I can remove to prevent the phone from locking when I soft reset it?

I've got HTC home installed and the phone is running Windows 6 (an official O2 upgrade). I'd like to avoid hard resetting the phone if poss.

Thanks

Tried the same 4 digit pin today and it worked! There must be a timed lock that kicks in after a number of tries. There was a clock running yesterday on the screen.

But the odd thing was that I hadn't tried to get into the phone for a couple of days.

Now a bit worried that this'll happen again randomly. Does anyone know how this works?
