Password
 

Hi,

I have a question dealing my n810. I need some application wihich give me a possibility to block my device using password. I know that in OS is including "Device look" but unfortunatelly I'm not enable to change code ;/ I don't know it ;/ (OS was installing by me)


Thanks in advance for answers.

Try this post from this thread.
Hopefully it will work and you can then use the inbuilt lock on the OS.

As root (thanks to Austin Che), download and run: http://austinche.name/maemo/getlockcode

Or (showing how stupidly easy it is to get.. thanks Nokia):

sudo gainroot
chroot /mnt/initfs/
text2screen -t `strings /dev/mtd1ro | grep [0-9] | grep -v [a-zA-Z@] | tail -n 1` -s 3

The DEFAULT lock code is 12345, as best as I can remember.

Interesting that the initfs busybox has strings (unlike the rootfs one). I hadn't looked too closely at it before, but it also includes a bunch of other stuff (bunzip2, bzcat, clear, deallocvt, dumpkmap, fdisk, ftpget, halt, hexdump, [[, install, klogd, loadfont, loadkmap, openvt, patch, pidof, poweroff, readprofile, reboot, reset, strings, syslogd, udhcpc, unzip, usleep, watch, wget) missing from the rootfs busybox (though some are provided by other packages).

ishida336: yee you are right with default code, thank you very much for this tip but I dont know why there are written application which allows to lock devices because the inbulit application works great, right ? there are any disadventages ?

Uh....Having ot hit the power button and select it?
But I personally don't see that as a downside.
Maybe that you can only use numbers. I would like to be able to use a text password, or a text and number password.

Maybe for you that is stupid, but to me, that looks like... well, I could NEVER forget out that command line string!!! :lol:
