I recently setup my 8125 to sync with my exchange server here at work, it made me setup this pin for what I believe is device lock. I have been trying to disable it because I hate having to enter a code or pin just to get into the phone. If this is not a clear enough description. Its the same Lock screen that says Emergency Phone Calls can be made. I would like to know how to disable it.

does this ask for pin code only when u connect with ur exchange server or every time when u switchoff/switch on urpda ?
if it only asks when u hookup to exchange server,delete ur account with exchange server and than again setup but only this time don't set any Pin code.
and if does it every time u switch on ur device,than i'll suggest u make a backup of all ur important data on the phone and clear the phone's memory,it'll clear the Pin code.to clear the phone memory ,consult ur Pda's user's manual.
hope it will help,cheers

Is anyone aware of an application that can softreset a PPC phone and restart it without having to go thru the process of keying in your pin code each time??
In the same way that a cash point card could be used without a PIN code to withdraw cash?
Correct me if I am wrong, I think you may be looking at a hard reset.
I'm not sure if this is what your asking but it is possible to disable asking for a pin code. But when your phone gets lost or stolen everybody will be able to use your sim...
Anyway:
Settings -> Phone
Uncheck "Require PIN when phone is used"
What I am talking about is an app like SpriteBackup which can after backing up your device restart it and aquire a GSM signal without asking for the pin code.
actually, you would need a software that is able to do soft reset and key in the pin code. none so far, but there are software thaty can key in the pin code.. like phonealarm.
Thanks ,will check it out.
If you keep the phone in flight mode then it will not ask for the PIN when restarting.
i installed a new rom for my fuze recently and the phone lock thing on startup disappeared. how do i set/change the password and make my phone ask for it on startup only?
It's not clear what you are asking for .
If you are talking about the PIN code when the phone is powered up you must do the following:
Press Start-Settings-Personal-Phone-Security & select ''Require PIN when phone is used''.-
no, that will still let me use the phone. i don't want to lock the sim but the phone. using that method will only block my network.
before i installed the new rom it would ask for a password before i can use the phone only after starting it. and if i entered the password wrong 3 times it would ask me to enter a1b2c3 or w/e instead of blocking the network.
I don't know the program you are talking for but I have some alternatives .
If you are using WM6.5 with lockscreen you can try SmartLock which have boot lock.
A good suggestion whatever WM you are using is ThrottleLock.
Also take a look at S2U2 but I am not sure if it supports boot lock.-
thanks i think i'll use smartlock. i've read comments on throttlelock and s2u2 and there were complaints on throttlelock about having the wrong password and then they had to hardreset or something... and s2u2 is kinda nice but not very useful.
i've used smartlock and it's not exactly what i'm looking for, i wanna set a password for the phone and make it ask for the password only when it's turned on.
Hi there,
If you have a few questions regarding the safe.my.windows.phone software. Anybody who have used it before please help me out!
1. If I have already set my password, how do I change it?
2. If I want to set a password only for unlocking when I remotely lock it and not for prompting when device is not used, how do I do this? As far as I know, I can only set a password if I tick the check box 'Prompt if device unused for'.
3. Finally, I've finished my trial evaluation of the software and want to uninstall it. However, after uninstallation, my phone is still asking me for the password to unlock my phone whenever the screen is turned on (unfortunately I set to prompt for password every 0 minutes and I can't find the password page to change this). How do I completely remove this?!
I tried re-installing but the page that asks you for the password after the first installation doesn't come up anymore I also then tried uninstalling after re-installating but the asking of the password still comes up everytime I turn on my screen!
Many thanks!
After two weeks of waiting for an email from [email protected] to come back to me, I can only warn everybody here to not install this application! Obviously the program is flawed (doesn't have a place to remove it) and you don't get any support. Don't install, don't buy! ><
Just as I thought a hard reset was around the corner...JGUI replied! Going back to the password settings page is actually very simple. Just go to Settings --> (Personal tab) Lock. From there you can set when to prompt and what password to use.
Still, there is a limitation where if you want the program to lock your phone when the correct SMS comes in, you need to activate this password protection but you can set this to 24hrs rather than 0min like I did.
Hello, I'd like to have prompted, only at startup, a pin request... I don't wanna set the windows mobile lock... I use CSDevCtrl and I'm fine with it.
Just a pin on startup. How to???
Anyone knows?
Just set the pin lock on your sim.

Man... of course I wasn't talking about the sim pin, I was talking of a cell pin...! Asked just once at startup...
well if you have the sim lock then u get the same behaviour as you are looking for no ?
No at all... in that case it's still possible to use the cell... I wanna protect the cell (don't care about sim), but only at startup.
Why don't you want to use Windows Mobile Lock located in Settings? You could "almost" do what you are looking for. Your phone would be protected even if the sim is changed and if you set the lock to,for example, 12 or 24 hours you will likely have to insert the code only if you softreset or turn off your device. During normal use, the code will be asked only when you connect to PC with Activesync or WMDC..if that doesn't suit you I'm sorry I couldn't help.

Nope... I use CSDevCtrl just to have an auto screenlock WITHOUT pin every time there is a call and everytime the screen goes off.
I want still to use CSDevCtrl, but I want also a pin prompted only at startup and not during the usual usage of the autoscreenlock.
So my Dad uses a Galaxy Note 10 Plus. He works at a high level judiciary position i cant mention, so information stored on his phone are govt. classified stuffs. Security is very vital.
He is almost 70 , so memorising pins and password is not his thing.
Therefore he uses Face Unlock/Face ID feature and Fingerprint scanner for unlocking phone and securing his apps.
But this morning, for God knows what reason, his phone can ONLY by unlocked via GESTURE PATTERN.
The thing is, Dad never uses gesture pattern, he must have set it when he first recieved the phone from the govt. He doesnt recall the gesture anymore.
All the officials have been trying their luck with the gesture unlock to no avail.
He needs to recover his phone data fast.
Is there a way for him to unlock his phone using face ID, fingerprint, or even email authorisation or something like that??
As far as I know, after you've tried many times, you will get a messages "Forgot pattern" on the lower left corner of your lock screen. Touch Forgot pattern and enter Google Account info to clear the lock.
Just hope he can still remember the password for the google account!
Just keep on trying until the phone starts asking you for the account (mail) and it's password.
Use the account data (password) to unlock the phone.
It is possible that his employer has the phone under MDM (Mobile Device Management). That is very common on mobile devices that access secure information from an employer. It allows them to control settings on the phone. If so, they may be the ones that changed the settings and they also may be able to unlock the phone.
