    A1B2C3 Challenge


    I've only entered the wrong password several times once, now I keep getting the A1B2C3 challenge every time I turn on my computer. Any way to fix this? I even changed my password and it still does it.

    :)

    A1B2C3 challenge phrase.

    I have received the A1B2C3 challenge phrase. I do not know the phrase. The sign I options is not present. The only way to sign in is with the phrase. How can I recover this? Thank you

    WP8 device wipe after incorrect 'A1B2C3' PIN/password challenge?

    OK, so WP8 finally has a feature (yippiee!) that prevents easy device wipes upon multiple incorrect password entries (when the phone is locked and password protected), following a 'A1B2C3' PIN/password challenge.

    My question is: is it possible to actually still WIPE the phone out even with this feature?
    I believe this is what happened to my phone recently when my son was playing on it, but I cannot verify it and am not willing to experiment wiping out my phone (again!).

    If so, how can I prevent future wipe outs??

    I read here http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/f...re-a1b2c3-or-password-after-pin-failures-befo that
    the feature only delays a possible phone wipe; it does not actually prevent it.

    WHAT's THE SCOOP? Thanks all for your input.
