Hello guys, i was just pissed a while ago when i hit the SECURE DEVICE button in my N900 and i didnīt knew the right code. I had to do several reflashings until it dont ask me anymore for a code.
So, i there a way to remove this option??
If yes, is the same process as enable the REBOOT option?

I've not tried it but I presume you just delete the references to lockdevice in the /etc/systemui/systemui.xml file.

Delete everything between:
<menuitem.....powerup_memainmenu_lockdevice....>
and the next
</menuitem>

You'll probably regret not having a lock code one day if you get drunk often, and end up loosing your phone.

But thank you so much anyway!

So you thought you'd reflash instead of looking up the default code, which is 12345?

PROCEED WITH CAUTION! If you balls up systemui.xml, you WILL HAVE AN UNBOOTABLE DEVICE!
