Screen Lock Password Doesn't Work - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Ok, i just got my new AT&T tilt today and after the initial setup, I configured a password for the phone lock. Now get this. I entered a 4 digit password and CONFIRMED it and then pressed "ok" Now the phone is locked and I cannot use that exact same password to unlock!!!!!
Any ideas?? I am trying to figure out how to hard reset the phone.
Thanks for any advice!

hard reset:
hold both soft keys and press the soft reset button with the stylus.
continue holding the soft keys after releasing the stylus.
screen will prompt you for hard reset. press send.

I love you guys here....phew, after two hours of panic, Im all back!!!!
Thanks Again!

More help needed
I ran across this thread. my phone is locked with the pin, and I cannot get the pin to unlock the phone. I tried the softkeys and reset but it gets to the tri color screen and stops. It dosn't prompt for a hard reset.

Keyboard/Password

So I just did a CID unlock via HardSPL and flashing the stock HTC firmware. Works excellent. However, I also ran the "Tilt Keyboard Fix" (this is a Tilt). Now, when I restarted the phone, it won't take my password. I know I'm typing it correctly.
Any help? Thanks.
This is quickly becoming a nightmare. I tried using the on-screen keyboard to try entering the password but that didn't work. Eventually it was having me wait 17 minutes before I could try entering the password in again. Then I tried reseting by holding the two "soft" keys and pressing the reset button but that just asked for the password again. Then I held down the power button and the camera and pressed the reset button with the stylus and now it's on the tricolor screen (been there for ~5 minutes). It says "Serial" if it's not plugged into anything or "USB" if I plug it into the computer but nothing works. HELP PLEASE!
Flashed ROM at this point again and it worked. I was really worried there for a minute...

HELP... Tilt won't hard reset.

I press the power button and camera button while pressing the soft reset button. all I get is a 3 color bar screen that says serial. That's it...
Then I tried to use the clear storage app. I typed in 1234 and clicked yes. nothing happens.
I have htcs home / customier too. and ever since the install I can't fully turn off my phone using the power button.
help please. I just wanted the phone back to default. Not bloatware free.
wrong key combination dude, hard reset is the two soft keys, and then the soft reset button
Push and hold the two soft-keys, then HOLD soft reset until screen changes. It may take a couple attempts...
You're not kidding!!
I tried, same result.. tried again, and again... after about 12 tries it finally worked. Man what a PITA!!
Just persevere!

Hard Reset
Switch the device off. Press and hold the "Volume Down Key" and "Action Button" (round button), at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the back of your device.

phone freezes when i turn on phone and wont go past password screen

im new to this so please be simple if you can help. i love my phone and i am really mad i cant get to anything. i would try to hard reset but i cant get to the start menu or anything. ive soft reset on multiple occasions but it does nothing
You don't have to be able to get to the menus to perform a hard reset.
Simply push both soft keys (keys above the 'E' and the mail icon on your pad) while performing a soft reset. You will then be prompted to push the 'Send' key and everything will be restored.
Welcome to XDA
Yeah, you can hard reset using the physical keys. However, the above method has never worked for my ATT Tilt. The method described in the wiki has never worked either. The method I use which works for me, is:
Press the two "-" softkeys on the front of the device while it is off
Then, while still holding the sofkeys on the front, press the stylus into the reset hole on the bottom for at least 3 seconds
While Still holding the two softkeys on the front, press the power button briefly then release it
You may release the softkeys once you see the warning message
Good luck,
Dave
