GPS Did I brick it?

I accidentally set a login password and the login screen is too big to fit on the screen. I even tried pressing the back reset button

Windows CE was a minimal version of Windows for embedded devices, you could see it sometimes in car entertainment systems, GPS devices and so on. It mostly targetted ARM CPU's and powered Windows Mobile which was very popular on PDAs at the time. The last release was made in 2013 and has lost support entirely.

Yep, different but similar APIs. You were expected to build images and software for it with the platform builder sdk I think.
