OP, I can't help you with this issue, but I can tell you this is a known error on BlackBerries. No matter how others try to spin this, this has been discussed several times here.
I just switched my SIM card to day and prompted me for for Blackberry ID and Password while I was on the plane (no signal or wifi) and its seems ok

It is one of those bugs in OS or may be in BIS that comes out of nowhere. Some experience the problem, others don't. May be the OS version has something to do with this as well.
Hi There,
I am stuck up in a strange problem with my Bold 9900.
Heres the complete scenario:
1. My sim card in the phone. I turned off mobile radio and wifi.
2. I inserted another sim card and switched on the phone.
3. It asks me to sign in to my blackberry account, and if i dont do that, my all data will be wiped off.
4. When i enter my blackberry id and password, it doesnt accept it (mobile radio and wifi off)
There are only 10 allowed attempts to enter password, and i realised that i have used 7/10!!
Please help me with this rocket science....
Just insert the original sim back, turn on wifi, connect to a wifi network. Replace the sim, wait for a few minutes so you are connected back to the wifi network and then login with ur BB id. Worked for me.
