Does 10th incorrect password attempt wipe out your third party applications that you've downloaded, or just the information stored in the device? I'm at my last attempt in trying to figure out my key store password and figuring I just may as well go ahead and wipe it since I have a recent backup.
I just don't want to install all my apps over again. Any information in regards to this is appreciated.
Well, entering the wrong "password keeper" password in ten times, all it did was erase the keystore. However, entering the wrong device password in ten times I would imagine wipes your entire blackberry.
Correct. Entering the wrong password keeper password 10 times only wipes out that one application. Entering the wrong device password 10 times wipes the device. In that case, you would have lost your 3rd party apps.

Thank you JeffH, I was kind of hoping someone would answer that question just for future reference. I doubt I'll ever forget my device password, I just must have made a typing error when I set up my keystore password.
Actually, a 10-try security Wipe doesnt wipe out your 3rd party apps at all. But, any 3rd party apps that had a password in them will need to have their activation keys entered and permissions sent again.
I did this to my old Tour on an experimenr to see what the Security Wipe actually does. Since I had all the data on backup, it was no loss to see what happened.
None of my 3rd party apps were gone, and using my activation codes, all of the paid apps are active on the device.

My son was playing with my phone and after the 10th try my phone was wiped. I lost my apps, all my contacts and the themes I downloaded. But when I reloaded my OS the hourglass issue I was having went away....

A BlackBerry can benefit from an occasional OS reload. Device memory gets a little fragmented over time, just as a computer can. Battery pulls can help clean things some, but a periodic fresh install can make quite a differencevv
