Okay I’ve searched and haven’t found an answer to my two questions.

A HARD reset is NOT an option since I need to get some info off the phone that is NOT on the SIM or the Micro SD card.

I have a ATT HTC Tilt that I haven’t used for over a year. After several futile attempts of what I though was the correct numeric password it is now locking me out for a period of time. Currently the lockout time is over two hours. The lockout time seems to double every few attempts also. I’ve now made a list of about 20 possible codes it could be and am systematically going through them.

Thing is though, that he countdown lockout time stops counting down every time the screen goes black or times out. I’ve tried a soft reset and this doesn’t help with the timer issue. Is there any way to solve the lockout timer issue problem?

Also and probably most important. The password screen clearly shows that I am the owner of the phone because it has my name. Can the techs at the ATT service center somehow over ride the password and save me a lot of time and trouble?

Thanks,

Tom
