I have version 3.1.2 jailbroken with blackrain Iphone 3GS ; it has been jailbroken since blackrain came out; today out of know where my phone is asking for a passcode. I can't do anything except emergency calls; what should I do

Please help
 
Enter the passcode.

(It should be noted here that you can't set up the iPhone to demand a passcode without first creating one.)
 
I have no reason to not tell the truth; I have never created a passcode; I don't know how to create a passcode
 
When I plugged my phone in; it automatically did a backup; if I restore from that backup will it still have that passcode in there or will I have to set back to the default settings? I do have a previous backup from August I can try that too. What do you recommend
 
Either you or someone with physical access to your phone set up a passcode. You're locked out unless you can figure out the passcode. DFU restore is the next step.

Someone may have put one on behind your back. Did you lend your phone to anyone recently to make a call or anything?
 
Its weird, because I just did a regular itunes restore and restored the backup that it had just made when I had plugged it in before; and it seems to work now; Also weird is that my voicemail and wifi passwords were gone; but once I reentered them they now work. I thought a regular restore would not work if a passcode was on there? Could someone have possibly hacked into my phone with SSH without me knowing it; I never changed the SSH password......

Well, restoring from a backup shouldn't have removed your voicemail and wifi passwords (unless, I guess, you didn't have the passwords set when you backed up).

They did reset though; and my exchange has reset as well it asking for that password too
 
Everything on my phone that required a password has reset; facebook, tweetie,slingbox, exchange, voicemail, wifi. Is it possible for someone to steal my passwords via ssh? If it is even possible that this happened through SSH I wonder if it is safe to re jailbreak
