[WPCentral Question]

My phone is on, I can receive calls but I cant get in to it cause I forgot the password. I have tried over and over still can go through. What I have on the screen now is, the time, date, month and try again 16302 minutes and lastly, Emergency call. I need to get through so please help me.

A hard reset is the only way of gaining access to the phone again. There's no way of bypassing the code if you don't know your password.
