Stupid question about ActiveSync

Sorry if it was already discussed here.
The problem is that when I do hard-reset the device and then connect to my PC, that ActiveSync wants to establish connection with it and asks for a name for the connection. The old name does not fit! Well, I used to experiment my device last weekend and my fantasy for an unuque name has gone.
How the hell can I tell to that stupid ActiveSync that the device is the same it used to work with an hour ago before hard-reset?

Best thing to do would be to change your device name back to the old name immediately after the hard reset.
Go to Start --> Settings --> System --> About --> Device ID and enter your old name in there. When you sync, ActiveSync won't moan about it.

Hi Activesync you may have to delete the partnership, this can be found under FILE.
Make sure you have the regional setting the same as before. Otherwise it will think its a different device.

Thank you all! It works, thanks to ian watson/ And now I know where I can check my name - thanks to snorbaard.

Its good that its sorted!!

Active Sync question

Does anyone remember how Active Sync would create a folder for you on your desktop or where ever with your files from your phone in it? Did that go away with 4.5 or am I just not looking hard enough or in the right places. It's like as soon as I installed 4.5, all of my old info got erased (especially my contacts) Am I seeing things....or maybe not seeing things? Please tell me my wife wrong and I'm not going blind.

connect phone to activesync
look in activesync pulldown menu : tools> options
there u can set file sync and such..
its called sync toy in windows vista and its not part of the mobile device center
when u update the rom of the mda u can connect to activesync and it will ask for you to setup
the device... just press next and next and dont change anything and it will work as long as your
phone has the same name in it... (owner name )

Device Lock

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

[WP7 Stock] Reset Password

So my niece got my personal WP7 Samsung Focus and I removed the password so she could game and she put a password on it. She doesn't know what she typed in, any way I can get back into the phone? I would like to keep the pictures on there if at all possible, since they were not auto backed up to SkyDrive due to data caps.
Any ideas? I've tried a lot of combos and nothing....

tried syncing with zune or the usb enabler i dont remember if that works under locked screen but zune should...

Zune says the device is locked and requires a pin... I miss Windows 98 when you could press cancel and get logged in. Or the iPhone and its bugs that let you login.

u sure ur pics werent backed up the last time u synced with zune ? hopefully

Very sure. I really hope there is a work around or something I can push to it like I did with my Dev Phone and Mango.

hopefilly there is... did u try the usb enabler ?

Just tried it and no such luck
Thanks for the ideas thou!

hey ur welcome anytime ... sorry didnt work only solution i have ever heard of for forgetting password was a hard reset...

Hello @deathgame09,
Have you singed in to your Gmail account on the device? If so there should be an option to reset the lock code by entering the email's password.
Let me know!
