So I am on Exchange and required to have a lock password. The install of iTunes 9 oddly brought back\reset\resync'd the mandatory exchange password requirement... to get around it you just have to do this again:

- SSH into the phone as [ root ]

- delete the following file [ "/var/Managed Preferences/mobile/com.apple.springboard.plist" ] and you are done

- Go back to password lock and disable it by entering your password
