Dug around and found my kids old 740C tablet. To my dismay, it's got a bloody passcode. Tried all the combinations I can think of to do a hard reset, but I'm at a loss so far. Manual mentions a hard reset, but forgets to tell ye' how. Maybe I am just blind though. Thanks ahead of time!

Hi
I can't find o2 stellar so sorry if I'm posting in wrong place.
I have problems when visiting websites with Java button, the phone just doesn't do anything. I initially thought this was a stellar specific problem as a colleague of mine has the same problem and Orbits don't. Some of my colleagues Stellars do work though. I don't recall changing any settings. Hard resets also dont work.
Anyone any suggestions how to make Java work?
Also the hard/factory reset I've tried involves pressing the two soft keys then the reset button and waiting for a message. The message doesn't appear for me.
Is this the hard reset? If so any idea why it wouldn't work?
Thanks
Dave
Hello Everyone,
Thank god for this website!!!
PLEASE HELP! URGENT!
My 02 XDA Atom was playing up, everytime i kept starting the phone it would hang on windows startup window causing me so much frustration i hit the phone smashing my screen :-( so hard to buy a new screen and replace it. When i replaced it the phone obviously kept hanging on windows startup. i must of done a soft reset maybe 20 times and the last time i must of accidently hit the power and reset buttons at the same time and the phone did a hard reset and i lost everything back to factory default aahhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Unfortantely i had very vital information on it such as sms's, contacts, appointments etc. Im absolutely lost completely without this data. And no i didnt do a backup other than the occasion hot sync to my laptop.
Does anyone know or can they help with the recovery of all this information. The info seemed to be stored on the phone and not on the sim.
i hope someone can
Thanks Everyone

Hi,
You could try to connect your phone to your PC as an external HD and do a recovery with some app like Recuva

Hi folks
Is there any app or way to assign password for hard reset.
I mean that, is there any software or registry edit that requests password when try to hard reset?????
For safety reasons.
thanks in advance.
I thought you needed to type in 1234 when you used clear storage. Pretty much all pda's have a way to hard reset with hardware buttons, anyway. Won't the code get wiped during the reset? I guess I don't get the point. If you're afraid of randomly losing data, backup frequently.
I would not suggest having a password, because sometimes your device can get stuck and you won't be able to type your password. It's happened to me a few times that I installed a program that caused my phone to stop responding to anything I pressed and all I could do was a hard reset.
The only reason i can see for having a pwd is to make the device totally useless to a thief. Trouble is by the time he discovers that even hard resetting requirers a pwd it's too late, you have already lost the device.
As for requiring one to actually hard reset to protect against accidentally doing it, personally i agree with the previous poster, not a wise thing as HR is a "get out of jail free" means of recovering an otherwise unuseable device. Been there and done that more than once.
So is there any way to do that????
i know the consequences of setting password while device dies but i need to answer some one and he doesn't care about this matter
so pls guide me if this possible
thank

I agree with Dee here (although your friend isnt interested) i ctually forgot my login pwd on my works comp after a weeks holiday, so for that reason its not a good idea
Gettin back OT, ive never seen or heard of this, although nothing is impossible, it will mean a serious reg hack. For that reason we'll leave this thread open and see if someone comes up with a solution
Well, my friend found a XDA Zest which is fully working (as far as I know but i'll need a closer look) and he's offering me to buy for a bargain price. I currently own a W910i and since I'm not a bussinessman i never have had a PDA/Smartphone before and I know very little about them. Would it be worth getting the Zest to replace my W910i?
And could you get it "unblocked" in any good mobile phone shop or would you have to go to a specialist one?
hi i had this phone and it was not one of the best windows mobil phones, i ended up getting rid of it, and have now got a htc touch hd, as for the simlock, this xda zest is only avaliable on O2 so will already be unlocked to all networks.
So, you're saying that if I clicked the wee "reset" button it has, it would go back to factory settings?
Because it has a password on it from the last user.

No the reset button does not factory reset. However there is away to factory reset your phone but I don't know how.
Well then how would I go about getting past the password without bringing it to a mobile phone technician?
Because the only possible way I can come up with is using my own Sim card or resetting the phone to factory settings.
Do a search for the option to "hard reset" your Zest, that will wipe it of all it's current data and return it to factory fresh for you.
brief google gave the following:
XDA Zest Hard Reset:
Joystick up + Power + Soft reset in bottom (push with stylus)
You can also get back factory settings via menus:
Start - Settings - System - Default Settings -
Password is 1234.

Yeah, Cheers m8, already done that and hopefully I'll get hold of the phone tomorrow. I'll try putting in my sim card and hard reseting the phone, if that doesn't work, what other options do I have?
I don't really want to spend more than £10 on un-blocking or fixing the phone so I hope that Hard reset works.
Thanks for all the help but my mate who found the phone returned it to the owner and so I'm not getting it.

!? So it was lost? Good for your friend to finally come to that decision. Maybe next time you lose your phone, you'll be so lucky.

And that is probably the best think you can do, return it back to it's legal owner.
Hi,
I have a 1020 that I did a hard reset on. Now it's stuck in the reset mode (gears are turning) and it wont finish the reset. I left it plugged in to see if it would reset itself back to the factory defaults. After 48 hours, it still shows the gears turning and won't finish the reset.
Does anyone have a similar problem?
Can you help fix it?
I tried redoing a hard and soft reset and get the exact same problem. It seems to be stuck in a continuous loop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

First you might want to try the following fix. If you are luck that is all you need.
http://www.nokia.com/in-en/support/product/lumia1020/faq/?action=singleTopic&topic=FA141347
If that does not work, ask your carrier to make sure you SIM is still registered with them as that can prevent boot. That's according to my experience with AT&T support. They said during boot it checks for an active subscription and sometimes the Nokia phones get stuck if the registration is invalid. They might also see if the phone activated on their network and they can try to push an OS update.
If that doesn't work, there is a good chance you have some sort of hardware failure. I just had 920 fail that way as well as a family member's Lumia do the same. Both ended up needing to be replaced.
