The default lock code 12345 actually appeared in plain text. Once I reset it (to 12345 again) then it showed up hashed.

So hopefully you can do the same. _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
