Hard reset for pocket pc

Postby GreenSmurf6969 » Feb 4, 2004 @ 12:44am

If your using one of the newer iPAQs (pocket pc) then after 12 attempts it should ask you to hard reset automatically. It will do it for you.

Pocket PC also stores information about "password active" flag in registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Owner\PowrPass value. So this flag is stored in two different locations: somewhere in inaccessible memory and in registry. You have to update both these locations.
