Security lock pops up...

Flakmunkey · #1 (**permalink**) 07-30-2008, 05:02 PM

Ok, so i used to have my phone locked with one of those key codes... I recently change my mind and deactivated it. Now, everyonce and awhile, happens about twice a day, it will pop up and Im locked out of my phone. The only counter I have to that is to pull the battery out of the ohne, reinsert it, and turn it back on. Anyone had this problem b4? I searched, but to no avail, so Im not sure if anyone's posted about this.. Help?

Are you set up on an exchange server? A server administrator can impose a manditory password requirement on your Pocket PC via exchange, and they can set how often it locks on you. Its for security purposes, incase someone gets ahold of your phone, to keep them out of company resources.

Does nobody have an idea what's going on? Or am I going crazy?

I hear ya, I don't think you are crazy, i just don't have any ideas, lol. Hard reset fixes everything though! I do one pretty regularly anyway, I like to have a fresh start every now and then. I keep a folder of all of my cab files on my SD, and sync daily with activesync. Everything by default is stored on the SD (documents, music, etc.). I can do a hard reset on the go!
