Active Sync Push password timer

[slick629]

Hello,
I have the HTC Touch Diamond with WM6.1. I love the phone but my exchange administrator has implemented password protection for my email account. So every hour my phone is locked until I enter the password. Does anyone know how to extend the time or disable the password in the registry. I have found several references to the registry setting in WM5 but that did not work so I am wondering if it is a different entry in WM6.1 Any ideas?

Can anyone help me with this?

This should work on WM6.1:

\hklm\security\policies\policies
Change value name "00001023" from '0' to '1'.

Btw, think about it before you remove this policy. The sysadmin does not enforce this policy for nothing. I learned to live with it, it also has some advantages (for example when your device is stolen and you won't accidently push any buttons)

Thanks for the reply. the 3rd link which is Zen's program does not seem to work in WM6.1 in the Diamond. The registry entry definitely does not work because I have set it and reset the phone and it still locks. You have a point about why the password is there but it becomes a safety issue when I am driving and need to make a phone call. I am not sure what the Simulate Key press does could you provide any more information?

I am finding that with the HTC diamond alot of the customization has changed alot of the functions for the registry. I wish I could find someone that has figured all this out.
