Bypassing Windows Mobile Security

Here's the lock. And here's the key.

The #1 thing I am asked all the time by developers regarding Windows Mobile has to be (I’m paraphrasing):

How do I unlock this !%#$* thing so I can load and test my developed applications on it!?!?!

Here’s the short answer…

Security Configuration Manager, which is included as part of the Windows Mobile 6 SDK, allows you to set security policies as part of your development and testing procedure.

MSDN has scads of info on it, obviously. Here’s a decent starting point.

Security Configuration Manager is slated to appear in the Funlab 2.x series, as SCM supports both emulated and real (unlocked) devices.

There’s also a standalone PowerToy available for WM2003/5 devices, which you can download here.
