any idea? thx
Posted by masseur
no windows mobile device I have ever used has a default code
if you want to apply a device lock you first have to set a code

i see, thx... duh sy played with a friends fone and managed to get it locked ( device is asking for lock code ) any chance to reset the fone or read out the code?
Posted by BobaFett
got this from a service friend

but 8300 isnt incl
Posted by masseur
a soft reset won't do it and to be honest, I have done so few hard resets, I can't recall if that resets the lock code.
anyway, in the start menu somewhere there should be a "clear storage" icon. click that and enter 1234 and it will do a hard reset

thx masseur, i was told the same lately, when i called a service guy. but the problem is, that i dont even come in to the menu, cos it asks already the security code
Posted by masseur
oh yes, of course... sorry
ok, well, with the phone off press and hold the left and right soft keys and while doing that, press the power button
Posted by BobaFett
thx for the tip, tried that, but nothing... it just turns on as usually.
Posted by masseur
hmm.. well I just googled and confirmed on several sites that this is the hard reset sequence for the qtek 8300/imate sp5 etc etc
edit: while holding the two soft keys you have to press and hold the power button until you see a message appear, perhaps you didn't hold the power button long enough?

Keep holding all three keys down, till the phone asks if you want to clear the memory.
Hope, this helps

edit:Masseur was faster

i push all 3 keys in the same time ca 10 sces long. isnt that enough u think?
Posted by Marly
Don't remember how long it takes, took some time though, so try holding them a bit longer.
Posted by BobaFett
