How do I factory reset a BB Priv. The enter incorrect 10 times option was NOT enabled

The enter incorrect 10 times option was not enabled on the phone so I have infinite attemps. I have tried almost 90 times now and just want to reset the phone as I do remember my Google password access the phone once reset.

I have obviously entered the PIN incorrectly twice when setting it up (i.e the number I thought I tapped I didn't and can't work out what the error was.

The only options I can find online are "enter incorrect PIN 10 times then enter blackberry" but this solution dosen't work for me as that option was deseleted on the phone.

Thank you.

Wow...
Settings: back - up and reset : scroll to the bottom

I guess that would be an option if the phone was not locked.

Have you tried using an Autoloader found the Stickies subforum?
