Forgot my keyboard lock password! HELP

**45cdorm** · 02-08-2008, 08:54 AM

Hi guys!

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

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** · 02-26-2008, 02:46 PM

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** · 03-01-2008, 02:41 PM

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** · 11-03-2009, 11:47 AM

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** · 11-24-2009, 11:50 AM

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.

BerryMan what do u enter for wrong passwords numbers or leters?

**Kaleemuddin** · 07-21-2010, 07:06 AM

If your BlackBerry is on a BES, the BES Administrators could possibly send out a password reset command with a temporary password to your device. If this is the case, contact your internal Help Desk or BES Admin.

Thanks all of you, you people have helped me alot through your discussions and now i do not even need to ask any question. Thanks once again.

what now.?

**Jim767** · 01-30-2011, 12:31 AM

Hi there, I have a quick question and I would appreciate your answer. If I enter the incorrect passcode 10 times in a row, afterwards do I have to enter a new pin/passcode, is it required so to speak, or can I skip that option right away, and leave the torch without passcode option? Meaning can I set up a different passcode at another time?
