Help - looking for automatic sim-unlocking program

I have in mind a program that does what Sprite Backup does - unlocking SIM during reboot (aka Soft Reset) without the user having to tap in the password everytime.
This need came about because I have both a SIM password *and* a phone password and it's getting tiresome having to tap in both passwords after every soft reset.
If anyone could find a program that performs this function it'd be greatly appreciated.

Whats wrong with going into settings => phone and settings => lock and removing them? I don't understand why you need a program to accomplish this as it's built in (at least in the HTC branded TyTN II with a UK Vodafone SIM).

the reason for the two passwords is to lock two assets - firstly the phone, then the SIM card. but even if both are the same, the phone still asks for its entry TWICE, every time the phone's rebooted. the problem is made even worse if you have a large number of startup programs - it might be more than 1 minute before the phone's ready to accept the second password (of the SIM). give it a try, you'll see what I mean.

I don't understand how this can be of benifit if you want a system that automatically puts in the required passwords. I have a 'lightly loaded' setup and don't use a password on either the SIM or phone - but then I don't have any secret/confidential data. If I did have confidential data on my TyTN II, I wouldn't want a password thats automatically entered on boot. I'd also put as much of the sensitive stuff as possible on the memory card and use encryption. I have tried locking my phone with a password in the past (just playing about) but if my phone is stolen/gets into the wrong hands, I'd have it and its SIM blocked by my operator.

Maybe I'm missing something here but if you want a program to automatically enter your phone and SIM PIN, then why even have the password in the first place? The purpose of either PIN is to lock out the use of either your phone or the SIM card. If I steal your phone and s/r and you have a program automatically enter your PIN passwords, then it's just like not having a PIN at all. There is no security there.
You're asking for a program to defeat the reason the passwords are there for in the first place.

Disable PIN-check!

Hi guys..
I've search the forum many times, with several different words.. But I can't find any solution on my problem Also asked in the Android forum, but they won't give an answer.
I've downloaded and started Android, but then it starts up and asks for the PIN-code, it allways says its the wrong PIN. And I'm sure it's not, because I use it to start WinMo.
Then I came over a post, there someone said that the PIN-check had to be disabled to use Android. Is this the fact? There are no security check on the PIN?
Okey, but thats not my main problem, I can live with that!
It seems that I cannot disable the PIN-check, when i tap the "Require PIN when phone is used." it asks for the PIN code, and when I type it in (the correct one of course) a message pops up and says: "Warning: Invalid old password. Please try again."
I KNOW FOR SURE that I typed the correct PIN.. I have no clue how to turn this off.. Is there another way to this? Can it be done with a reg-editor? I would really like to try Android, so I hope there someone out there who can help me out!
EDIT: I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, maybe it would be in the general Kaiser forum. So if any moderators want to move it, just go for it =)

There are SIM without possibility of disabling PIN. U can change it, but U cannot disable it... In fact my own SIM is one of that kind - my company is not allowing phones without automatic lock after 15 minutes and sims without PIN...

hmm, hopefully these incredible programmers and developers here at the forum make it possible to use PIN with android =D

Have the same problem in here ....ufnortunately can't run Android...Hero stuff...
I mean i run them but can't get thru from the PIN...
Bloody...

Try to disable pin on an another device. If you will not be succesful, your cant turn pin off.

To bypass the password, you need to hard reset the phone.
Press and hold the two soft keys while doing a soft reset. This will erase all your data, which is a consequence of someone else trying to bypass your password , they won't find anything.
If you pin-locked your sim, you get three tries to input the right pin. If you fail three times, the sim locks and you need to get the PUK code from your provider , but be careful, if you input the PUK code wrong ten times, the sim is permently locked and you wil have to purchase a new sim.

Hi,
I am really glad that somebody try help me, but try read my post .... password in phone, no hard reset, no synchr., it has nothing with SIM card or PIN, PUK code.
It is passw for phone, SIM card is OK I use it in second phone.
Anybody can help me, please.

You can't get pass the password on the phone unless you know what it is. This is to prevent access from third parties if your phone is stolen.
As mentioned above. What you need to do is a hard reset. This will however WIPE ALL YOUR DATA but it will also remove the password.
You have mentioned it won't sync. This is a feature of the password but that also means that when you do do your hard reset, by putting it back into the computer you can restore most if not all of your phone book entries.
Otherwise keep guessing!

[Q]HTC Toush diamond2 Locked

Hi guys
I have installed the free antitheft mobile software of F secure at my windows mobile phone {HTC Touch Diamond2] and, of course, I have chosen the number key for entering the software and my mobile and the sec ret code [letters and numbers] to lock it from distance.
Since then, many times when I was restarting my phone I didn’t had any problem to unlock the software using the number code, and then, with the same number code, to unlock my phone so that I can use it.
Unfortunately, yesterday after that I installed another software [swype] and I had to restart my phone, when I entered the same number code I received the answer that the code was incorrect. I tried many times without result –some time I got the message to use my secret code [letters and numbers] which lock remotely my phone but this is not possible because to enter the F secure software I can use only numbers. Finally now, any effort to enter the number code is without result and I don’t get even the message that my code is not the correct one.
I was informed that the only solution is to hard reset my phone-solution that I would like to avoid for not losing my sms, contacts, softwares installed etc. So I would be very grateful if you could help me
Thanx in advance

[Q] I can't unlock my phone!

Hi guys. I have a problem a bit similar to the ones I read earlier but my problem is that I entered my PIN code and phone didn't recognize it. Now I should have an option to enter PUK code and everything would be fine, but I don't have that option. My screen says: "Take a look at the manual or contact with your service provider" (something like this, my phone language is Polish so I may translate something not correctly). I did take a look at the manual but there was nothing that could solve my problem so I'm asking you, members of xda community, is there any way to solve this problem without taking phone to my GSM provider?

If you are using custom rom try full wipe maybe it would hep
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

It didn't work, but it turn my phone language into english so I can write what it says:
"SIM card is PUK-locked."
"Please see the User Guide or contact Customer Care."

If you inputted a incorrect PIN for too many times the SIM card will lock up and require the PUK to reset the PIN failure counter - that much the phone is actually doing right.
If you don't have a possibility to enter the PUK then all you can do is to see a service point of your mobile operator to have the SIM card resetted.
There's pretty much nothing you can do as that's a security function of the GSM card and not the phone or the OS.
EDIT: Any chance entering **05*<PUK Code>*# or **05*<PUK Code>*<New PIN>*<New PIN confirm># works? (in case you can get to the dialer)

I can get to the dialer, but I didn't know that I can enter PUK there, I'll give it a try and write either it worked or not.

The second method worked! Thanks! When I use this first method it says that is either connection problem or MMI code is invalid.
