I synchronised my XDA last night and it was fine. However, I need to re-synchronise it again today. It is password protected. I have switched on my XDA but am unable to use the screen at all. Each time I tap the screen to enter my password, nothing happens and I am unable to get into my XDA. Please can someone help. I have already done three soft resets with no luck.
Thank you.
If it was recently backed up do a hard reset and they just resynchronise your data

Forgot my Security Password Help Please ??
Hi I have forgotten my XDA 11s security password do you know of anyway I can get into my phone without resetting or loosing all the data ? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Cheers Tony
@ Tony - If a password was easy to break, there would not be much point to it. Do you not have a recent backup through activesync? or have you got active sync set to rember your password? (if so, copy the data you need off then do a hard reset)
XDA ii s Password
I have forgotten my XDA 11s security password (not the sim password) do you know of anyway I can get into my phone without resetting or loosing all the data ?
if I went through all the numbers to find the right combination for my password would my XDA eventually freeze or block my XDA permanently just like the banks (or the SIM) do with bank cards when you get your combination wrong 3 times??
Well, for a start, read my earlier post - it is ot worth having a pword if it is easy to break.
As for the lock after x attempts, it is likely to have this, but probably be 5, and MAY lock for 15 mins and then give you another attempt, then lock for even longer.
IF you want to do this and spend from now to infinity trying all of the possible 10,000 combinations, then go ahead.

Hello.
I recently got a Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 (with Windows Mobile 6.1), and I set a password on it.
Sometimes when it would ask me for my password, the shift or fn keys wouldn't work, so I couldn't enter it. I would have to soft reset the device to be able to type in my password.
Frustrated, I decided to disable password protection entirely. I then found that after leaving the device alone for a period of time (while sleeping, for example), it would lock and ask me for a password - but since I no longer had one, I couldn't. I would have to soft reset the device to bypass the password screen.
I searched around, and found that this was a bug in Windows Mobile, and the only solution was to hard reset and never enable password protection. After a while of putting up with it, I flashed my device to use itje's Touch-IT v7, and I performed a hard reset. It was fine for a while, but now it's doing it again: it's asking me for a password when I leave it alone for a period of time, but I don't have one. I never set a password this time.
Is there any real solution to this? It's incredibly frustrating. Thank you in advance.
you mean the security password that is enforced when using exchange email? there is ap app that will enable you to turn it off, but you should read this thread (the app is listed here but you should take heed of the warning from deedee). I leave it up to you.

Try "hard reseting" it
I'm not using Exchange email, and the checkbox to disable password protection isn't greyed out (like it is in that thread). Thanks for the link anyway though, I'll have a look around the registry.
Anyone else know anything about this?
Edit: As I said in my original post, I already tried a hard reset when this problem originally appeared. I hadn't touched the password protection settings at all since my hard reset, but it's happening again.
Does nobody have a solution for this?
are you sure someone isn't messing with your phone and setting a password? I've been using windows mobile for 6 years and never had that problem.
And you said something about a bug.... can you link me to whatever you found?
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
I just tried searching for that again, but unfortunately I can't find it. It was a thread with somebody saying that they have no password set, yet the device asks for one so they can only bypass the screen by soft resetting - and that's the exact problem I'm having now. There was no solution posted so I didn't bookmark it or anything.
I am the only person that has had access to my phone, so nobody has messed with it. The password setting is definitely disabled, and the HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001023 registry value is set to 1 (disabled). My phone doesn't ask me for a password when I first start it (so I can get past it each time via a soft reset), it just seems to happen after 10 hours or so - I'm not exactly sure what triggers it.
Edit: I'm not sure if this is what I read before, but it seems to describe the same thing.

Thats the question: is it really time for WM6?
So far i believe that the device cannot digest what we have so far of WM6. Too many non-functional things or bugs if you would like to say =_=
Device auto-locks and asks for password and if you dont have a password you cannot get into the device other than by soft reset. Asks password even for activesync! PDAViet has problem with activesync in vista as it disconnects after 5 minutes. WiFi only turns on from Comm center. Hang up's on 25MB free RAM. A lot of memory leak! 10MB to run SPB Time -_-...

I have recently purchased HTC Touch with WM6. 2 days ago, it suddenly locked. I couldn't unlock because it asks for password. Because I didn't set a password, I couldn't unlock.

This is really wierd, i have been using wm since 5 was on the scene and ive never come across your issue. I appreciate that your not using exchange but did you try the zeynee unlock app? It might stop the lock screen, you never know. If it doesnt work then nothing lost huh??
I didn't try it, no. I was concerned about the posts saying the application used up too much battery power, and thought checking the registry would be good enough (since nothing should be changing the value). I'll install it now and see if the problem still occurs. I don't have much hope that this will help though.
Okay, it just happened again. The application didn't help.
Ok, worth a try...
Have yoyu considered flashing to a different rom to see if this works? Is there a new stock Rom available?
Ill have to look more into this, maybe msdn has something on it.
Well, I had this problem with both my original Vodafone ROM and the custom one I'm using now. I'm reluctant to flash it again due to the hassle of reinstalling everything again.
I think it may be related to notifications. It just happened again as I got a text message, and last time it happened just before I received a Skype call. When I'm away and come back to find it locked, there tends to be a new icon in the notification area. It definitely doesn't happen every time I get a notification though...
Hi I'm having a problem with Galaxy 5 i5500 i have entered a pattern [the one wich you use to see the home screen] and i forgot it. now i entered the pattern wrong too many times and my phone is locked and asks me to enter a google account. i havent set up a google account in my samsung so i can't access it. can anyone help me if they could tell me how to reset it or factory reset it? i have tried the secret codes and they don't work.
Why is it that 90% of the time, the first thing people do when they get a phone or tablet is put in a password (same with laptops and desktops). While I'm at it, why in the blue hell do people always hide the password on the unlock screen when making vids on youtube? YEAH
ANYWAY, google is your friend bro. You should be able to boot the phone in recovery mode (someone please correct me if I'm wrong on that because I'm not 100% on it) and do a factory reset. I'm not going to take the time to google it or search XDA on how to do it for you though. I learned how to walk because my parents refused to carry me around for the rest of my life....just sayin
Hi guys, I created this account just for this question so I hope I'm posting in the right section!
On to the problem, I have a SM-G920I S6 that I have locked with my fingerprints. I set my backup password to my gmail one so it would be easy to remember. This morning I went to unlock my phone and the scanner didn't recognise my finger 3 times(happens sometimes as we all know). It asked me for the backup password which I entered and it told me was wrong (3? times). It then asked for my google email and password which it also says is wrong!
I haven't set up the 'Find my mobile' thing yet (idiot) so I can't remotely unlock it. I tried logging in and out of youtube on my pc and that works fine but now I can't access the verification code message because there are multiple messages/texts (on my phone) at this point *sigh* - but it demonstrates that my password is working at least!
I guess the last thing I can do is wipe the phone? but I obviously don't want to do that...
I also only just recently changed my password and enabled 2-step verification (before buying the phone though so that shouldn't break it???) if that helps.
Thanks guys!
Hi again guys, I just want to announce that my phone has magically let me in with the password I've tried dozens of times!
I'm not sure how to delete/end a thread so I just wanted to post a conclusion. Sorry if I haven't done the right thing.
I have a problem after factory reset, after chosing the language/region it takes me to the Phone activation page (MANDATORY, can't skip) and asks me to log in with my Huawei user IUD & Password.
Since the morning it's giving me activation timed out, please try again
How can I skip this? or at least delink the account to the phone, tried through cloud.huawei.com but dind't find any links there.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks,
Saif...
Phone is Mate 8
Have you contacted Huawei Support, that would be the best course of action.

Thanks, yes i did but unfortunatly without avail.
Was able to fix it though....
In cloud.huawei.com under find my phone, wait until it times out then delete it.
In the setting of the password request (not the change password part under profile) activate it.
Apply a factory reset, your phone will not ask your for phone activation after language/region setting.
Now i need to be clear, been told that sometimes the clould does not word. Nevertheless don't buy it lol
Good luck for everyone, this is THE machine! love everything it provides (especially speed & battery life!!!!!)

As I wanted to be more secure I set up a password for my secure folder . Luckily my mates turned up, we got a bit drunk , obviously by the morning I had no idea what is my new password.
Spent an hour with some guy from Samsung on the Tutor app , He couldn't help to go around or reset it.
Im using fingerprint for log in but after restart asking the first time password and this where I stuck.
I know my Samsung account password, Im using Samsung Pass if its help.
Samsung Galaxy S10e
SM-970F
Phone status : Official
If there is a way to save the data from there would help already or if you guys can direct me how to reset the password.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Many times these secure folders are very secure. For something like my ancient Casio BOSS there's no way to bypass it short of brute force even after over 30 years.
I hope you backed up that data... and you should as it's always one drop, one near lightning strike, etc away from oblivion.
I set no password on PC bios, backup data drives or my devices because of losing accessibility or the data entirely. If the set password becomes corrupted (I've had it happen) you'll lose access... maybe permanently. It's not just forgetting it that can become a problem.
You right there, thanks. Eventually I will find my password , hopefully just the 30 second wait between trying them a bit killing.. )
