so i picked up a used bold last night. i came home and updated the OS to .266 and restored all my information from a previous back up. all of my email accounted are synced with the phone but i am getting facebook updates for the previous owner in the messages folder. i had downloaded the fb app for bb, installed it and logged in with my info for it.
any idea why this is going on and anyone have any tips on how i can stop this from happening?
1) Open the SETTINGS folder in your main menu (not Options)
2) Choose Email Setup
Now the web browser will load.
3) Click LOGIN and Enter your BIS username/password
4) You'll be asked if you want to reassign the device to your account.
5) Sorted! Your Bold will now stop picking up the previous owner's facebook/emails and you can enter your own email details.
This process will not work if you try to do it via HTTP (on a computer). You need to do it through your device.
Hope this works for you,

i never set up a BIS username/password before with my bb's. i usually just set up my gmail and hotmail account with my phones and it has never asked for me to set up username/password.
should i go and try to set a username/password on my curve and then try it with the bold?
i had the SAME problem and it was really really really easy, just call your service provider and tell them you wanna change the E-mail associated with the device and tell them why, they will walk you through what you need to do in a matter of minutes, you'll be all good, it's just that simple.
you would've had to have BIS set up for your curve in order to have the emails working. login to your BIS account and change device on your account to your new pin.
where do you go to login to BIS, thru the phone or PC, sorry for such a noob question, i just got the phone off a coworker and meeting with her later to get the pin released.
yea i am on att, but this is my first blackberry i have no username/pw for BIS so i dont know what direction to take. have her release it, then make a username/pw. or make one then have her release pin and imei
