quick question re: upgrading locked phone.

[Chillin]

I have the opportunity to purchase a Touch cheap. The reason he is selling it so cheap is because it is password locked and he can't remember the password.

So my question is can I still upgrade the ROM when it is password locked? (and will this remove the password restriction?)

Please reply ASAP as he is waiting for me to get back to him. Thanks.

Yes, you can. You just have to go into bootloader mode and flash the ROM..very simple.

[Chillin]

perfect. Thanks.

I think that a "hard reset" resolve this too.
Or not??????

I have the phone now, how do I do a hard reset?

[kareeem]

A hard reset should also get the job done:

"To do a hard reset hold the send and end keys (green and red hard buttons) and then poke the circle on the bottom with the stylus."

That worked. Thanks again.
