Today, I enabled the software lock. However, I have to disable it.

The story: I attached my device to the PC with the USB cable. It was in sleep mode and then complained that the device was locked. So, I removed the cable, woke up the device, unlocked it, and then I plugged it in. For some reason, it went back to the device is locked screen! This happened a couple times. So I unplugged it, typed in the password, disabled the lock altogether, and tried it again. Now it's working, but the lock is disabled.

Is this some weird fluke or what? How can using the lock possibly prevent me from using USB?
