The app is set up to require a password to uninstall, but apparently it doesn't always work. The uninstall process is supposed to prompt you for a password to uninstall it, but sometimes it just removes the app name from the remove apps list and you're screwed. Here's what I posted on their "Get Satisfaction" forum (I just had to put it here in case they deleted it.)

OK. I got it. I installed and uninstalled the newest version. I don't think that did anything necessarily, but if it did, I thought I should include it. The unistall of the newer version worked/prompted for password on uninstall.

I ran the sprite backup uninstaller, searched my PPC files ( with PPC Total Commander) and registry ( with DotFred's Task Manager) and deleted anything that was left after uninstall (there was a lot :mad: ) that said sprite on it (except the shortcut I have in a folder other than the default folder, which turns ito the default icon if the app, more or less, really isn't there).

Then I discovered that it was in fact the Windows Mobile default password applet that had been enabled, so I disabled the password/PIN entirely. I thought it was very interesting when I went in to the applet that PIN was selected, but it was in fact requiring a password - the one from Sprite Terminator.

Nee ner.

And since you can't do this without the password, umteen times, I think I'll do a little copy paste of this post.

I put a replacement sim card in the phone thinking it would read the data on it, rather than the card ID tself. Whups. At least now I can use my phone without typing my interminable Sprite Terminaor password.

I am currently trying to uninstall this program and the damn password prompt keeps popping up. It's supposedly already uninstalled, but every time my phone goes to sleep, it asks me for the password.

How do I disable it? I don't want to hard reset.
