What happens when someone uses all the attepmts to try to unlock my curve? Will it completely shut down reboot or what cause I'm really not trying to lose anything that's already on here!!!!!

If you mean password locked you will lose all data. It will be reset.

[Bberry78]

Yeah I mean password locked. So if its reset then what?

[5ONE2]

Its like a brand new berry.

[Bberry78]

So I'd basically have to re download everything, and re-enter all my contact info (all but what's on my memory card right)?

[Bberry78]

Just basic security password, getting in and out of the phone

[5ONE2]

Then yea you will lose all your data.

It will do a complete wipe of all your data, leaving you with a "fresh" OS.

You will have to reinstall all non native apps as well as add your contacts again.

With BB, security is key. I am glad it wipes everything when the password attempts max is reached. That's awesome if you happen to lose your BB, because anyone trying to access it will end up wiping all your info for you.

Ok, then what's the best way to back up my bb so I can at least retrieve my contacts? Something that I can actually access from the bb itself. Being that I caught my nephews trying to crack my password and almost using all my attempts.

You can make a backup in DM so if they were to wipe it you can just load the backup to the Berry.

Or for contacts, use google sync. It will backup all of ur contacts & calenday for you

Use the Desktop Manager.

Do a normal backup, and also a 3rd party application backup. Instructions for that can be found in my sig below.
