The Motorola RAZR V3c from Verizon has a security bug.
There is a way to bypass the automatic lock option which asks for a password when the phone is powered up. Normally, after powering up the cellphone, it asks for a password if you have set the "Automatic Lock" option on. However if you turn on the cell and immediately close it for a few minutes (I haven't timed how long) it appears to bypass the security lock and doesn't ask for a password. A weird side-effect of this is that the phone seems to work as normal except you cannot receive calls - they go straight to voicemail. You can make calls though.
I've only tested this with version .3 of Verizon's firmware, and don't know if it affects the original Motorola firmware.

Verizon needs to be more careful with their motorola razr!
I had a similar problem with my razor phones.
For me, however, the problem only occurred when I had the phone set to display a Greeting as it was booting up. As long as I have nothing in the Greeting, the auto lock works fine.
My verizon RAZR does the opposite. The "automatic lock" will activate without powering off. I will just flip it open randomly during the day and it will ask for the unlock code. Sometimes, I will be receiving a call and it will ask for the unlock code before I can answer. Weird. Does anyone know if this is fixable, because it sure as spit is annoying.
