 Conveniently, the webOS team left a nice, simple way to bypass it all around line 66:

 The 1.1 update allowed me to connect to Exchange (EAS) with a policy enforced.  Of course, having my screen lock every single time I turn off the screen seems a little harsh.  The policy asks for a 10-minute timeout, but the way it's implemented in WebOS, the screen locks whenever the screen turns off.

-Below is a very insecure hack to automatically unlock the screen by faking the key presses for your actual passcode.  It's insecure because you actually have to put your real passcode into the code.  Still, here it is.

-After line 71 "this.controller.listen('password', ..." add the following lines, replacing 1,2,3,4 with your own passcode digits.

-What you've done is edit the "setup" function to do everything it already does to prepare the screen unlock application, then automatically key in your passcode.
+What you've done is edit the "setup" function to immediately call the unlock function and return (skipping anything else it would normally do).
 Reboot, and your screen should automatically unlock as soon as you slide it open.
 Should work like a charm!
