Overriding the password lock on HTC phone

Please help me... I haven't used my HTC phone ever since I got this. I tried doing the hard reset but it just didn't work. I still got the same thing in my screen = asking for the password. 8  out of 12 found this valuable. Do you?

"i have forgotton the password for my phone and is locked out. is there a way to hard reset the phone by pressing the soft keyson the htc fuze?"
Passwording your phone is worthless if someone can easily bypass it. Therefore the only way someone ( or you ) can bypass your passwod is to hard reset. This will of course erase all the data on the phone thereby rendering any info useless to the thief. I don't password my phone and never have. It has always been my opinion that you only need to password your phone if you are carrying your countries nuclear secrets or cheating on your spouse.

Here are the hard reset steps.
