I found something weird

Well seems I should have looked into more how to turn on my phone when I first got it, but turns out I held down the camera button and it turned on to a weird tri colored screen, and asking for a 10 digit code...any ideas?

That's the HTC bootloader mode. Completely useless to end users, and harmful if you try something stupid. Be careful.

Yeah if you hold the camera button while booting, it puts you into a boot loader. This will come in handy later on when we are able to flash our devices with WinMo =)

Can mess it up unless you are typing commands into it or running a program to connect to the phone.
