My Password no longer works. Again.

[DarkGemini1979]

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

This is the second time, and a hard reset sets me back 2 hours at least when I have to, between setting up the phone again, installs, VPN config, etc.

It was annoying the first time. It's infuriating this time.

I sync with ActiveSync against my Google Apps account, and also have a Gmail account that uses IMAP. My radio is unlocked, and I jump on to T-Mobile when I need service in an area where Sprint doesn't have coverage. Other than that, it's a stock, plain vanilla Sprint WinMo 6.5 ROM.

As far as precursors leading up to this... there are none. It'll just happen out of the blue, and usually the the most inopportune time possible. Go to unlock the phone, and:

"Password Incorrect. The password you entered is incorrect.."

Any ideas to avoid dealing with this again? Anyone have this happen to them too? My patience with this phone is beginning to wear thin...
