Hello Everyone,
Last night I've activated the password function to my mobile phone but the strange thing is i couldn't open my phone with the same password on Windows Mobile.
I thought that it could be fixed by re-installing the ROM but couldn't suceed because of ActiveSync connection.
Can anyone help me about this issue please? How could I deactivate the password?
P.S: I'm using WM6 on my Dopod 838
could you be a little more specific about the problem? you dont have to use activesync to upgrade your rom. just put your phone into bl mode and go from there. that WILL clear the password as long as your updating the ce rom. or just do a hard reset
would formatting the storage/chipondisk not clear any password setting on the device ?
I think i have a quite silly situation, this is the normal Windows CE Password which we use usually and activates itself when we turn on the phone or some minutes later after we didn't use it.
I thought the same but i need to open my phone with password for cleaning storage. Actually i don't know how to hard reset this phone, i only was using "Storage Clear" application for erasing whole thing.
For installing new rom, I need to make CID unlock and the phone does not run the application without having the ActiveSync connection (guest connection) with phone.
Hard reset: Hold both software "---" keys on the keyboard and reset with stylus. Then hit "0" key to hard reset or "X" key to cancel.
Bootloader mode: Hold light and power buttons together and reset with stylus. (The light button is on the front edge of the phone, near the volume slider). In bootloader mode please keep in mind that the backlight is turned off, therefore the screen is hard to read in poor light.

Because i am using Direct Push to get my emails on our secure exchange server Windows forces me to enter a password when turning on my Orbit 2. Trouble is the brightness of the backlight is reduced almost immediately i turn my phone on and it makes it very difficult (in fact almost impossible) to see the screen to enter my password especially in daylight. Can anyone help?
Hi Bortis, I'm new to the forum so spent ages trying to find a solution to a similar problem.
I dont set the pasword lock all of the time but had the same problem with the keylock. i.e. when locked the backlight went off.
I needed to use a registry editor (PHM Regedit in my case)
I then edited registry keys as shown on the top of page 2 on

I know the usual answer is 'do a search' but having spent ~ 6 hours doing that I HTH.

I had the same problem with my Orbit II. I followed some simple advice from NoFatePPC and have had no problems since even after doing a reset
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
go here in your registry:
\HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel
you should see a bunch of keys and a folder called "LockLevel" - inside that folder is the LockLevel key with a value of 1 or 0 - you don't need to go inside that folder. just rename it from "LockLevel" to "LockLevelx" (add an x to the end of the folder's name)...
that's it.

Cannot unlock password on Orbit 2
Hello,
I have an HTC Orbit 2 (POLA 200). It's locked in O2, but that not the problem. The problem I'm having is that it suddenly started to show me the password unlock screen. I've tried to hard reset it and access the boot loader, but it is NOT working When I try to hard reset it (camera button + reset button, then release the reset button and keep the camera button pushed) it just restarts normally. It shows that "O2 Welcome" splash screen, then the screen with Windows Mobile 6.1 and then it gives the password screen. On the top, it appears that I have signal through HDSPA and the muted sound icon. Also, it says that I can make only emergency calls. I don't know what to do, because I haven't set any password. I've tried a few standard ones like: 1234, 0000 - but nothing. However, if I put in "999" without the quotes, the screen light gets stronger and it says that I must press DIAL to talk, but that's the emergency thing . I have to let you know that I cannot sync the phone through active sync or anything like that.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Help! I cannot hard reset after my touch screen stopped working. Have tried pressinn gps and internet buttons, then pressing reset and keeping hold of gps and internet but device just soft resets. Would leaving the battery out do the same thing?
Alternative hard reset
Hello mate,
You say your screen isn't working but can you still use the keys and scroll wheel to navigate around the software?
If so, open the start menu and navigate to 'settings', 'system' and select 'clear storage'.
Make sure that you've removed your SD card before you do this.
It will perform a hard reset for you.
Lom
I'll try it but I think it asks you to input 1234, which I can't do without the keypad working!
Yes you do have to enter 1234 so I am totally stuck and ready to try the big hammer reset.
Can anyone help?
alternative!!

this application will let u use ur ppc thru ur pc
i mean u can share n control ur ppc screen thru desktop

Cheers Mate!
Tried what you suggested but i got a message on the screen with a yes no box to install and couldn't get the button to operate using the wheel or any hardware key!
I've put my sim card in my magician and I think I may have to send the polaris back. Bet they'll say its my fault and will want paying to fix it.
I'm going to try leaving the battery out for a while to see if that will "force" a hard reset. I know I havent bashed it as it stopped working just after a phone call which is why I think hard resetting will sort it.
Tried your suggestion on my magician: nice bit of software!
The hard reset prompt is done by the bootloader, no installed software can affect it, simply because it isn't loaded yet.
Anyway, for the unlikely case of the digitizer hardware not being reset by bootloader, try removing the battery instead of pressing the reset button. Yes, thats right, remove the battery while the unit is operating, as rude as it sounds, and reinsert it while holding the GPS + Internet buttons.
It will, of course, prompt you to enter the 1234, but the touch screen should be initialized by the bootloader. If it still wont work - RMA the unit, your digitizer is faulty.
It still wouldnt hard reset so it probably is a hardware fault. looks like its going back.
Anyone else had a similar issue?:
Sent it back to HTC in Milton Keynes where thet diagnosed a duff touchscreen and replaced it under warranty. The service was very fast and hassle free. Well done HTC!
First thing I did after sprite restore (they reload with a fresh ROM) was to install my mobiler as suggested above. No worries if the screen doesn't work now.
Thanks for your help guys!
Hello,
I have some trouble with my Windows Mobile 6.5 SEX1 device.
After installing HTC Rhodium Menu Enhancements and HTC Scroll the touch screen does not work. This alone is not a problem thanks to the keyboard, but, i accidentally clicked the wrong soft-key, so the slide-to-unlock screen is engaged.
The USB-to-PC mode is set to "disk mode" so I cannot unlock the phone via ActiveSync.
A hard-reset is not an option since I have data on the device which I would not like to loose. Do you guys have any ideas on how to rectify this issue?
EDIT1: I even made an attempt to salvage the important files by making an autorun.exe application which would copy the files to my SD-card without success.
Kind regards
Per
Your Slide to unlock screen is engaged, right? if its S2U2 you can just soft reset and keep pressing the up button on your device which should prevent it from locking. From there you should be alright navigating to settings to change your USB connection to Activesync. If its the default windows lock screen you should be able to use the same process.
Hi,
I have changed the registry key to change the default keyboard input.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip
After changing the registry key, I have restarted my mobile but it does not get start properly. It just shows the starting screen (only shows "Windows mobile" on screen). Please help me to solve the problem.
Mobile details :- HTC P3450
OS :- Windows moble 6.1
Thanks in advance,
Milind
looks like you need to hard-reset your device.
Please let me know how to hard reset the device.

That's guessing you have an Elf HTC P3450 if not the WIKI will hold the info
Not Working.
Even after resetting it just shows the "Windows Mobile" on screen.
Is there any other way to edit the registry entry.
No way to change registry without being in operating system, my next advise is to go to the WIKI i linked and find your stock ROM and flash.
After a hard reset (soft reset won't solve your issue) it will sit at the Windows Mobile screen for a while as it initializes the system for the first time, so wait 15 or so minutes, and it should get around to setting up your stylus and such.
Hi, this happend to me once screwing around with sip, to get block recognizer back in wm6.5, and the all thing freezed just like you. So do operate hard reset and be patient it will end up telling you you really messed up but will start from scratch after a while.
hcall,trowakage
After hard reset I have Kept the device on for whole night but still it shows the "Windows mobile" on screen.
stylez,
It is not possible to connect the phone to PC through active sync, so it is not possible to flush the ROM.
-Milind.
weird, I suppose you tried pulling out the battery and putting it back on? what keys do you press to hard reset? do you get a message saying you will loose all your data press action to continue?
Can you enter hardspl at all? if so you can flash your rom
To perform a hard reset
1.Press and hold the TALK and END buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom of your device.2.Release the stylus, but continue pressing the TALK and END buttons until you see the following message on the screen:This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press Action to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
3.Release the TALK and END buttons, and then press ENTER on your device.
good luck
hcall,
I have tried it in the same way which you have mentioned.
In the same way shown in video
But unfortunately it doesn't show any message (hard reset might work after booting OS completely & in my case it is not possible, it just shows "Windows Mobile").
can you boot on hard spl at all?
hcall,
no.
power off...
press power button while the volume key is pressed down... that way you'll enter the tri-color boot screen... connect it to your computer and flash a good rom.
TheRem,
Not working.
Is there another way to reinstall OS.
-Milind
It seems there is no solution for this problem.
-Milind
bring it to the nearest HTC service center in your country.
Fiquei com a mesma dúvida.

Hi,
I dont know what happened but since this afternoon (no matter how many times I perform a soft reset) sense is unable to start. I cant even navigate my phone. however I can still send and recieve calls but that's it.
Does anybody know what caused this? Although I install various software on an regular basis I'f never flashed the standard ROM.
Can you please tell me how to perform a hard-reset if software doesn't allow me to?
quote from the manual:
"To perform a hard reset
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the END/POWER button shortly and release it. You will then see this message on the screen.
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
2. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset"
However before you do that, you could try disabling sense + soft reset + enabling sense -> this helped me few times when my sense wouldn't start.
The question is can you get to Start Menu / Settings? or - if not - does your ActiveSync work?
Some info from the Htc website..
Performing a Factory/Hard Reset You can return your phone to its original state, as it was when it left the factory. This is also called a hard reset. You might want to do this if you are giving your phone to a friend or relative and you want to remove all your data first, or if your phone has a persistent problem that is not solved by powering off the phone and then powering it on again.
A factory reset is a drastic measure. It permanently erases all your personal data and customized settings, and also removes any programs you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the information and files you want to keep. For information about ways of backing up your phone, see the following topics:
Synchronizing With Outlook on Your Computer
Backing Up Your Phone Using Microsoft My Phone
Performing a factory reset via settings
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.
On the Home screen's Settings tab, tap Menu > All Settings > System > Clear Storage.
Enter 1234.
Tap YES to perform the reset, or tap NO to cancel the reset.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using buttons on the phone.
With your phone powered off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
While holding the volume buttons, press the END/POWER button briefly and then release it.
When you see a warning message on screen, release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

Tnx guys but no luck, when phone is off and I hold the volume buttons then briefly tap power button the damn thing turns on...the the whole crap starts all over again...nothing works except sending and recieving calls...
ok, before you attempt to loose all your data, try copying unpacking the attached file to your Windows folder - it can be done with ActiveSync,
if I did not screw up, once the file is copied there, long-press of phone button should bring the today settings, where you can try to disable sense, and see what happens then...

Agree 100%. I backup regularly but now I cant even hard-reset so that's not my problem.
Until now a hard reset always worked. Putting your (p107r0) file in the windows folder at least gave me the uportunity to disable sense and grand me access to the settings. But the touch screen seems to suffer from this virus too...when I try to purge my stored info (entering 1234) the keyboard shows what key I press but the number doesnt appear in the textbar...
Even trying to install a cab doesnt work. I can find everything on the phone but tapping does nothing...
I'm very close to flushing the phone down the toilet or something...
I feel your pain (1 month with overheating mainboard), but don't flush it yet
try the second method for HR - the one where you start with both vol keys pressed
