i need help lost my password

The only way is to do a security wipe and start from factory reset.

Be patient, try to remember that password. If not, after 10 unsuccessful attempts a security wipe will initiate.

If you can't remember the password before the 10 tries are up, then the phone is essentially blocked. You'll have to wipe it, then.

Go to BlackBerry ID - BlackBerry Login - Sign In to Apps & Services - US and select Reset Your Password. To reset your device password, you can login to BlackBerry Protect by going here www.blackberry.com/protect . But if this device doesn't belong to you or if you don't have access to the BlackBerry ID email address, then you're SOL.

And contrary to what's said above, a Security Wipe does not reset the device password. I've done wipes on my device multiple times and the device lock password remains.

That doesn't work, as it still asks for your previous password.

Would nuking it work instead of wiping

Normally yes...
You will lose everything, but you can start from scratch

Well then only the roaches will be around to reload your device.

Well if there is a way to crack the password... then it wouldn't really be a password eh?

I don't understand why a device wipe wouldn't get rid of the password lock. That is the whole idea of that. It should put the device in a state like it was when unboxed.

You do have an obtuse sense of humor. I'm thinking most people don't get your jokes and maybe you tell yourself they aren't intelligent enough. But maybe it's just not that funny more often than not, but sometimes, enough so that you continue to indulge yourself.

Well, I never really thought about it that way before. Frankly, my Dear, I don't give a darn! I am who I am and thats good enough for me. Don't really care who is intelligent here or not. Perhaps most people don't get my jokes. Oh well. Apparently, you do. So Hooray! Didn't mean to go on a rant here. And I don't think this whole thing means what you think it means! :-D

Let's assume you have an SD card for your Z10, do you encrypt it with your device password ?

If yes, you can put your SD card into a card reader and try a brute force attack.

Background:
Your device will allow you only 10 attempts, but afaik there is no limit for the SD card.

Good luck!^^

The encryption key is not the device password.

The encryption key is not the device password.

I have never tried it, but there was as software that recovers the device password from the media card:

Quote: Even if Device Key or Device Password & Device Key option is set on the BlackBerry device, you can still recover device password via EPB, but decrypting SD card will not be possible.

The take-home-message for me was to use strong device passwords.
