Help - Locked out of my Kaiser

Hi All
I'm a relatively new user here.
I've got a HTC Kaiser and just upgraded from Wm6 to 6.1 and tried restoring a backup done from wm6 using SPB Backup. It performed the restore and reset the device.
Now its stuck at the password screen and my password isn't working.
Is there anyway for me to boot up in Safe Mode and sort this out? Even if i have to restore factory settings or re-install the rom I dont mind, I just need to get into the device.
Please please please someone help me!
Thanks in advance.

u could try a hard reset.

If I'm correct, the hard reset is holding down the two soft keys?
I tried this and it doesnt even perform a hard reset. All it's doing is stuck on the password screen.
Is there another way to hard reset the device?
edit> Sorry I was being a total noob! Didnt know i needed to hold the soft reset as well as the soft keys. AFter a few good searches I found the answer here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Resets
Thanks guys you're stars!

hard reset is holding down the 2 soft keys while inserting ur stylus into the soft reset hole at the bottom of ur phone. read the kaiser wiki.

Save me from sending my device back (password reset)

I bought a VPA Compact V a couple months ago to replace my Orange M700 and LOVE it.
Unfortunately Last Night I was playing with password features, and created a password by mistake. I've tried to remember what I typed in and was told it was not valid and asked for my password again! There is an option to reset your password but it is grayed out!
So I called up Vodaphone and they walked me through a hard reset (which I could not do for some reason, instead of getting the white screen, I always get the standard vodaphone one)
After a few attempts they told be I'd just have to return it to and be without phone for up to three weeks which is outreagous! I have had NO issues before this time and really need my kaiser for work. I know I am risking a public scalding and accusations of being a thief but I can assure you I am legit (I've got the bills to prove it!), but given my low post count I can see why you may have your doubts.
I don't really want to do a hard reset if I don't have to, but I think that it is my only choice. My old M2000 (blue angel) looses data if the battery is not in, can I do a similar thing with the kasier?
Thanks in advance,
WWWeed.........

does anyone know if WM6 prevents you from hard-resetting while the device is requesting a password?

Did you follow the steps in the wiki to do a hard reset with just the hard keys on the phone?

You should be able to use the "Clear Storage" icon in the settings without having to know the password if I remember well. That triggers a Hard reset too. But I'd just go with the hard key method too, only takes a couple of seconds...

The Kaiser will not lose any of its memory if you remove the battery.
At this point, you have 2 options. The first is to perform a hard reset; the process is documented in the Kaiser Wiki. Your second option is to download the OEM ROM that your phone shipped with, enter bootloader manually (also in the Wiki) and reflash the device. Either way, you will lose any data not on an SD card.

Yes I did, but instead of getting the white screen asking me if I want to clear the storage, I get the standard vodaphone splash screen

I have a problem with this, I cant find the rom installed on this device. I have tryed 3.08.161.0 (Radio 1.64.08.21) UK Vodafone that can found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365058
however the device starts to flash, gets to 1% and gives me an error (error 294: invalid vendor id)
Does WM6 prevent you from performing a hard reset while asking for a password?
Can I install any of the spl's on this site (so I can flash another rom) with just the bootloader? or is there any way of installing roms without using active sync?
Thanks again guys for your help! I assure you it is much appreciated!

I found a rom that works! Unfornatly I dont know much about it. The name of it is v1615_3.28.161.1.zip
I've uploaded it to rapidshare Here
It is an offical untouched rom from vodaphone directly.

You might not be holding the 2 keys long enough. You need to hold them for several seconds after you pressed the reset button.

It can't, the button method does the job before WM6 would get loaded.
But I guess if you've been able to flash you shouldn't need the advice anyway. Still, you should do a hard reset after flashing to be sure all previous and/or incionsistent settings are cleared.

Hold the two soft keys then poke the soft reset button with the stylus while holding the soft keys - hold them until you see a new screen, make sure they are fully pressed. then a while screen will come up and you press the "send" key to go through with the hard reset (reset to factory settings).

instead of soft reset, hard reset

Hi,
I do not know if anyone has met this issue before.
i was fine until yesterday when i installed this app which shows the pic of the caller.
After the uninstalation it said that i needed a soft reset to finish the process.
I did one but then it did a hardreset.
I installed the rom again, and after certain customisations, that needed a soft reset, a hard one is beeing performed right now.
What can i do please?
Thannk you

flash a stock rom => hard reset => flash a custom rom => hard reset.

dollar wallper
thanks for the tip.
It worked!!!
Now another small issue.
Is there a way to get rid of the dollar that appears in the beginning of the soft reset?

read this thread
or this
or search for splash screen .
do not forget to do before HardSPLs

If a soft reset (stylus in the reset hole or just a power cycle) didn't fix it, do a hard reset.

i did hard reset and now the phone boots up uptp the "windows mobile" screen and stays there...what would be next option?

Hi, read this post. It worked for me. Don't forget to backup first so you can restore once your original rom is back on the device.

Problem solved..HTC is great....i did hard reset again and used sprite backup to restore...
the trick is to be very careful when pressing softkeys..they are so small that one can be pressing the red or green buttons..and stylus should be used for very short time (almost as if to touch and retrieve)..anyway all is well that ends well . Thanks gurus and this great site...long live HTC.
