not sure if one of these hacks did it, but now my passwords applet doesn't have the 4-digit PIN option anymore.

typing in a password w/ stylus or keyboard every time is very annoying, but i still need some protection...

anyone know what might have happened?

I also am having the same problem. Please email me if u find a solution.

Ben, did you also do a hard reset?
Are you also using Sprint?
Which apps/hacks did you recently install?

No answers yet, but maybe we can pinpoint it...

Weird - I'm having issues as well. I hard to hard reset last night and for some reason I'm not able to access the menu option for "Password"

If you guys figure it out, please pass it on to me! I'll do the same.

you mean, when you go into settings, and try to bring up "passwords", nothing happens at all?

i don't know about you, ben, but i can still set a text password, just not a 4-digit pin password.

i wonder if this is a sprint issue, since doing a hard reset should restore the system to a fresh state....

Exactly. I show the option but when I click on it nothing happens. Very frustrating!

Did you guys happen to install another passowrd protected software like 1-pass or nicestart? I think that takes over the builtin one and maybe the uninstall didn't do a good job and left some regkeys that is causing this...

afaik, i don't have any password protected apps. but here is everything i have installed in case anyone else has also done any of the same:

dynamo 2
pocket informant
good link
games: acky's xp breakout demo, anthelion, odyssey demo, pacman, street duel demo, tetris

(i also deleted the directories for active engine & audible)

No not yet was hoping to avoid that.
Yes I am using Sprint.

1. Modify external rom
2. Disable Menu Animation
3. Speed Up your 6700 - GLYPHCACHE Hack
4. Registry Hack : Always On Hack (internet connection)
5. Boost Windows Mobile 5 performance up to 20 percent
6. Make TCPMP default Media Player
7. File System Cache Increase Hack
8. Enable Picture Mail
9. BT Button enables MS VC (latest hack)

I ended up doing a hard reset which fixed my problem.
