Is there anyway to do a force mount? I dont think so but figured Id ask.
Reason for asking is my screen is broken and I want to get my contacts.


Also I went to my contacts backup on my new Acclaim and it asked for a PIN. I just guessed one and it setup a new account.
So.... do I now have two accounts and still need to find the old one? Or I never had a backup?

Thanks
 
If you have drivers for the device installed on your computer, you should be able to attach a USB cable (the charging cable) and, with USB debugging set in the application development menu, view and manipulate all files on your SD card.

If you lost your pin, you can retrieve a new one by using the lost pin feature at Google/Gmail (I'm assuming you're referring to Google contacts).
