i have a T46s phone with unkwnon/lost admin password.

To get admin access to the phone i plan to setup a tfpfd server with actual firmware (T46S-66.86.0.15.rom), reboot the phone with speaker buuton pressed, enter my tftp server adress an update the phone.
I am not sure if this update method will reset the password fro admin to factory default. Does somebody know if this method is resetting the admin password?

Also please let me know if there is a better way to reset the admin password.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

The tftp method is usually used when the phone is bricked.
In your case you want to access the phone using the admin password, which you don't have anymore.
In this case a reset to factory default should do the job.
To initiate a factory reset, you have to long press the OK button. Then follow the instructions on the screen.
