- So this afternoon I decided it was time I put a password on my Pearl. Apparently I didn't pay enough attention when entering it, as it now won't unlock. I use the same configuration of password for everything, so I must have missed off a letter or SureType screwed me over (damn small keyboard!).
I'm now on attempt 9/10 and it's clearly not the password I intended (pretty cool feature by showing you the pw after attempt no 5, though). I have a recent backup, but I have heard reports that you will still need the pw to reload the data.
This is not good, as I obviously entered a wrong pw this afternoon.
1. Am I right in thinking I will still need the pw after it has been wiped?
2. By plugging my BB into the computer and using the Desktop Manager, is ther any way I can try my password more times than 10?
3. Long shot, but is ther a super-secret method of unlocking the phone from my situation?

if not, hopefully someone else will post it in here soon.08-07-09 09:55 AMLike 0
