Forgot my keyboard lock password! HELP

[45cdorm]

Hi guys!

Is there anyway to reset my blackberry i.e wipe it without knowing the security password for keylock?....

[Berryman]

Just enter the incorrect password x10 times and your Blackberry will be wiped. Your personal data will be gone, but you can then enter a new password and start again.

hope you have backed up / synced lately .... always a good idea to do it at minimum once a week ...

When you say your personal data will be wiped - does this include the address book? My BB 8800 is new - to me - it was used by some-one else before.

[Berryman]

Yes, your address book would be wiped. Only telephone numbers that you might have stored on your SIM card would remain

Hi, does this apply to the Curve 8320 also? I too forgot my password and have 8 attempts left. I am not registered with BES, so I dont want to make any vital mistake and lock out my phone. PLEASE HELP...

[Berryman]

Yes this applies to your Curve too

Hey Man, the same happened to me. Is it going to work with my 8900 by entering the wrong keypad password 10 times. I don't care if i loose my data

[johnnywoods]

It's done! The only way to recover data is if you backed it up and restored it.

If you haven't done that, then enjoy the countdown.

hey mi sis put a passcode on my tour, and forgot the password> how can i unlock it without losin anything?

[mortonvw]

So I am new to all this and sure my question is answered above but I just want to double check. I just bought an 8820 unlocked on-line and the phone is locked and wants a password. I can just go through that 10 times and I will be fine. There is none of my contact info in it so I have nothing to worry about right?

You have nothing to worry about entering the wrong password on ANY model 10x will wipe all the data on the phone.
