In order to securely manage your passwords you can use an application which stores them securely (using cryptography to store the data) and is only opened using a master password.
Honestly, I'm surprised this doesn't happen to a lot more people. It seems to me that the device lock would be useless to the majority of users.

To naysayers I give a hint: PUC code...

Got until 12:00 PM GMT to get it.
Personally, to me, it's the fact that the code is available so easily. All you need to be is root to get access to the mtd devices. I don't use the lock code, I don't keep information that is personal - just music, books etc.
One program that does get the code (getlockcode) doesn't even access the mtd device, it just asks the closed source dsme program which happily gives it out.

use flasher-3.0 to flash the initfs image only (read the help) and enable rd-mode using the flasher. When you boot the tablet, your lock code will be shown in the corner.
Edit: Scratch that last part. I just realized I was forgetting the second -. I boot in r&d mode, and it has some green text on the left when I boot, but I don't see my pw anywhere. :[

I'm getting 6 0s in the top left, but that's not working.

AHHHHH! I guess the limit for that screen is 6 #s, because I just did all 0s and it worked! Thank you so much, qwerty. You're the best!

It happens. **** happens.
But it should not happen, and there are options to mitigate this. In order to securely manage your passwords you can use an application which stores them securely (using cryptography to store the data) and is only opened using a master password.
For Navicore I found the price for the offer too ridiculous although this was partly because of the internal GPS quality. Later I found a way to buy a cheap license.
