    I have just finished setting up this Key2 LE for the most part. It was going good when all of a sudden, it locked me out and is now asking for a password that i did not set. I have to at least wipe it to start again. There seems to be no limit to the amount of times I try to open it. What in the world should I do? All my info looks to still be intact..

    It's looking for your Google credentials most likely. It's the anti-theft protection.

    Since I did set up a Google account, I did try that but no dice. It has let me retry a password (which I did not set) about 30 times . If I could just do the factory reset, I will have lost nothing that I cannot replace.

    You can try wiping it with an autoloader.

    Okay, I'm here helping out diffused. Started the download of the link you provided. I'm in a fringe area, and it will take about 6 hours. Once downloaded, what's the next step. BTW, I have the BB Key2 LE tethered to my computer now.
    Thanks! doug

    UPDATE:

    After a an overnight download, I was able to get to the device to the bootloader screen and run the flashall.bat with no trouble. The whole process took less than 5 minutes and the phone rebooted to the out-of-box start screen. Diffused should have no trouble taking it from here.

    Thanks so much!
