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.

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.

Glad I'm not the only one who cant figure this out! tandy279 you do know how to remove the passwords dont you?
Hi guys, i have an s730 from work, and last time i was in work they had activated some security stuff that by defaults locks my phone when it goes idle, needing me to type a pin in. I typed the wrong pin in 5 times, and now the phone asks for a password, is there a default password here or some way to reset the entire phone?
data loss is no problem, i just need it functional
please note that i am not talking about the sim-pin lock.
Best regards - Fredrik
PUK? If so get it from your mobile provider. Or 0000?
hi, and thx for your reply, but no, i dont think it could be the puk code. since my sim kode is still working, i enter the sim-code, and get into the phone, i can recive calls, but i cant open any menues, i cant read sms etc. because a "phone lock"
i think this "shell lock" (directly translated from norwegian/swedish) was activated from exchange on our corp servers.
id appreciate any input.
best regards , Fredrik

Greetings everyone. My post is a topic that has been discussed for other phones but I did not see anything specific to my phone.
I recently purchased my used One Max on ebay and it came to me in a hard reset condition. I had a normal set up (Sprint is my carrier)and in the weeks that have past, I am at my happy place with respect to having it set up the way I want it . My issue is that the SMS secure box is password protected. I do not remember having set a password for this and every single password that makes any sense to me will not unlock it. I have perhaps a dozen different password combinations that I use and none work. I have tried all the default passwords suggested by others on other forums, phone number combinations, 1234, etc. no good. I have learned that in order to save a message to the secure box that a password must be created. I dumped a message from my daughter in there with no password prompt so I think it must have been set up previously. Anyway, I need help to unlock it.
If anyone can help, I can prove that the phone is mine. I am not apposed to paying a reasonable fee to anyone that can help. I did read in another HTC forum that rooting the phone will allow a command line prompt to view the password that is active but this was for an evo 3d and I'm not sure that the same command would work on my one max. I am not a developer but I can follow instructions to complete this task.
Please do not suggest a hard reset. I am not willing to lose all the work I done. If you have a solution that does not require that, I welcome your input.

Hi
I was using Nokia lumia 520 and I apply a pin to lock phone. I used phon after a long time but unfortunately I forgot password. Every time I apply a pin, it gives me a time to retry after 4 min, next time 8, 16,32,64 min and so on.
Can anyone help me in removing this pin. I am not an expert of Windows phone. I know a little bit of Android. So please guide me in a simple way.......
Just hard-reset. You'll lose your app data but you'll have a phone again.

SORRY TO RESURECT OLD THREAD IN ADVANCE(im not new to xda, or android, bu windows phone yes, brand new to me)
is there ANY other possible way to bypass this pin lock?
i posted another threda just now about this before i found this thread.
details here;;; http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...mia-635-rm-975-model-street-passcode-t3181598
BASICALLY;
i found a lumia rm-975 (lumia635 at&t) lying on street...i have a galaxy nexus, so using this found device isnt really m=what im looking to do.
what i WANT to do, is find a way to get past this 4 digit pin unlok(either change it, or get by it SOMEHOW) so that i am able to contact the device owner hopefully and get it back to them. i have no interest in using thi device myself, im an android guy, this is a windows device. i just want to help out the owner who lost their device, which seems impossible since i cannot get by this pin unlok.
if there is ANY way, please let me know, pm me, reply here, rply at my thread, however you want to cnitact me for any help is fine by me.
i just am not looking forward to using a data reset to just get into device, because then i woudnt have any numbers left to contact family/friends of this ddevice owner.
please let me know if there is a way

I don't think there's any way to bypass the lockscreen other than to reset the phone, but you definitely shouldn't do that if you intend to return it to the owner. You could try putting the SIM card into another phone to see if it has any contacts that you might be able to connect with (e.g. home number, relatives) and let them know the build of the phone you found. If the owner set up the phone's recovery feature, they might also be able find the phone themselves (just remember to put the SIM back in and keep the phone on). You could also try your luck with Microsoft's support if you get the number associated with the SIM card.
Can you swipe down to see anything in the action center? If they set their phone to see it without lifting the lockscreen, then that might provide you with some clues to contact the owner.
