Dear all,
I have a strange problem with my Diamond.
Due to the fact that i have set my diamond to reset itself every night at 5 am, i have removed the PIN feature, so when it reboots i will be able to receive phone calls (when i wake up in the morning), because it happened that i wake up late and miss phone calls.
Today, everything worked just fine, BUT, i have a Password screen (Start settings lock), although NO PASSWORD was inserted. I tried the old password, but it doesn't work.
I can receive calls, but if i miss one, i can't see who called. It's just like my phone wanted and inserted a password by itself.

Can i do something, without hard resetting my phone? Any idea is a good idea. I am willing to try everything, so i won't loose my sms's, phone book, and everything else.

Thanks for brainstorming with me :)


Later edit:
It seems that i can sync the phone, it doesn't ask me to unlock the device. WTF?!? Virus?
Can i registry edit the removing of the password? Can i do it via my pc?

Another later edit:
So,... i'm in the password screen, as before :). I noticed something strange: When i remove the stylus, it inserts a character, as if i type one, but actually i'm not.
Below the text field i have the following: 0 and a reverse timer now dropping from 2 minutes.

You should be able to bypass it by ActiveSync, and if you can't then .. du du duhhh i dont know lol.

Is this a PIN code or a Phone lock code?

Try your user manual it'll tell you the default code. If its PIN you need to look for your operators default pin (normally 4-8 0s) or if its a PHONE code then i actually have no clue what HTCs default is.. or if there even is one?

I detect a hard reset...

It's NOT a PIN code,... it's a HTC code (start ->settings -> LOCK) i have that screen.
The problem is that i haven't activated that option, and the old code ain't working (or i am not remembering correctly)
