Disable Automatic Phone Lock?? Hack?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I'm using an SMT5600 and my administrator has enabled automatic phone lock and set it to 15 minutes. After 15 minutes of inactivity, my phone locks and requires me to enter a 10 digit password before I can use my phone again. Having to take your eyes off the highway long enough to enter a long password is obviously a little bit dangerous so I want to disable it. When I go under settings..security...the "Prompt for password" checkbox is checked and greyed out. I'm assuming this is being enforced via our Goodlink server.

Does anyone know if I can disable this via a registry setting or other hack? If not, does anyone know of application that will "fool" my phone into thinking I've pressed a key every 14 minutes, thus never allowing the phone to go the full 15 minutes and then lock?

Thanks,
Jeff

Can you turn off your phone lock?

Try to access it through your Quick List, maybe that'll work. Go into your quick list (tap the power button), press 4, and I'm guessing it'll be set to 15 minutes. You can change it from 1-60 minutes, or turn it off entirely.

Hopefuly that'll work!

I don't think he has the choice to do that when it's administered by a server. Exchange 2003 SP2 has the same features. The admin could wipe out the phone to with a click of a mouse. How about using a bluetooth headset and setup some voice dialing?
