I want my device to locally wipe all data in case an incorrect password is entered more than 3 times. That is the ultimate in security, because many times the sim is removed and there is no GSM or Internet so remotely control it if stolen. So a local solution is required for business people who do not have or need exchange or remote access. Just want that when their device is stolen it is wiped locally.
I came across several places on the net that tells you that it's possible by simply putting a new Decimal Key named 'DeviceWipeThreshold' (HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD) and set it to a positive number like 3 or 4 that means after these attemps the device main memory and memory card are wiped.
It works fine. My only problem is that it prompts the user for the last chance to enter the correct password before it wipes the device. I do not wish that prompt to appear, cause once stolen and password tries exceed 3 or 4 times i want to wipe the info WITHOUT a warning. Does anybody know if there is a registry tweak to remove that warning or change the text of of it ?
I couldn't find a real through document on all the registry policy tweaks.
