8700c hard reset instructions help

**Jynx** · 10-15-2007, 04:10 PM

I just received a used 8700c blackberry. currently it has all the old information still on there, including the former email addy. I have no manual, sync software disc, data cable, etc. just the blackberry itself. I was wondering if there was any way I can hard reset the device and have it load the default software (currently I have no browser). I know you can do this with devices that carry the windows mobile x.x software. would greatly appreciate the help.

on the device, go to "options", Security options", "general settings", select trackwheel then "wipe handheld"

Will this work for another issue? I purchased a used 8700c as well, however when setting up email, i get a message that says account exists for this PIN. I can't seem to clear it and the carrier is not offering to reset it. May just bail on AT&T and start up a new account? Any help?
