That's one problem, I know I'd lose all data. I also don't understand why
this is happening.

Even if I'm still entering the wrong password, the second problem is that
the unit no longer gives a hint, and also locks after a password is entered.
Before I enter all of the password, the "Clear" command works.

Maybe a undocumented security feature when too many pswds are entered?
