Registry change for device lock timeout?

[Guest GilchristT]

Hi

I've a SP5M (WM5) and my company have just pushed out a security update to all WM5 devices so that they lock after 20 minutes and require a 10 digit unlock code.

I appreciate the security requirement as the devices will have corp e-mail on them but 20 minutes is overkill! Is anyone aware if this can be changed by editing the registry on the device?

thanks

What you need to think about is if it is worth risking your job if get caught trying to circumvent your companies security measure.

Without knowing the method they use to lock the device it's a bit hard to say if a registry fix is possible.
