This is something you need to do at the desktop side. Connect your
device to your desktop with USB cable and use flasher to disable this
lifeguard.

There are couple of wiki pages telling about flasher:
http://maemo.org/maemowiki/Flasher_tool_usage
http://maemo.org/maemowiki/RdMode

You might want to try also "/path/to/flasher --help" and when running
"/path/to/flasher-2.0 --set-rd-flags" without those actual flags you
will get list of possible flags.

When you set these with flasher those are not cleared after reboot. If I
remember correctly, R&D mode can be enable from device it self so that
it will be cleared after reboot, but I don't remember how this can be
done.

Right now I can't remember if you need to have rd-mode enabled to
disable lifeguard reset and currently I can't test it, but maybe someone
can confirm that.
