Restarting a PPc without the pin code??

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.

Pin request only at the startup... how to?

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.

Samsung A177 Phone Lock - Forgot Password

I havn't used the phone in a long time, and I'm trying to sell it.
So I put my SIM Card in to delete everything on it, and it asked for a Phone Lock password. I don't remember setting a password. So how do I get past this?
Is there some sort of hard reset? Or a default code?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] PIN Change Error - Locked Out

Hi,
I was changing my PIN on my Samsung Note 3. After putting in the current PIN and then putting in the new PIN. I was prompted to confirm the PIN. The "settings app" was then forced closed. I returned to the PIN change setting but my current PIN nor the new PIN that I was trying to change to worked. I then restarted my phone and I'm completely locked out.
If the PIN was not changed due to the force close of 'settings' shouldn't the PIN be unchanged? I tried all PINs I've used in the past as well as 1111,0000,1234, last 4 digits of phone number, SSN... everything but still doesn't work.
Any suggestions? I don't want to factory reset the phone. Please help! Please!
------UPDATE-------
I found that using Google's Android Device Manager I can remotely change the PIN. I can see from the website and also on the phone that the password is changing. If I change from a numberic PIN to a text password, the password input keypad changes from number only to a full keyboard. So, i'm sure that the password was changed remotely. However, the temporary password that I recent using Android Device Manager still doesn't work!!!! Can anyone help?

Galaxy S7 unlocking attempts?

Hi all
I have a galaxy s7 and have no problem unlocking my phone using my fingerprint. The thing is, I have set a pin as my backup login method and for the life of me I can't remember my pin. I have entered two incorrect tries and don't want to lock the phone by attempting a third. So, the question is, if I unlock the phone using my fingerprint, does the pin login reset? i.e. do I have three new attempts? Any help would be appreciated.

Why not just unlock with fingerprint then go into settings and change the PIN? One that is easier to remember this time, maybe?
