Confusing BB Language

Hi,
I have a Blackberry that used to belong to a company and it has an IT policy on it.
I have tried to follow a few of the threads but to be honest I am a complete newbee and do not really understand all of the terms so have been unable to remove the IT policy.
The latest is that when i open the desktop manager it say please 'an error occured while processing the policy file. please contact the administrator'
I am not sure if i have downloaded the wrong desktop manager.
Please help, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

Try using CrackUtil:

Under the Clearing Settings - Advanced tab, there is a Reset IT Policy to Factory setting.

hi thanks for help,
downloaded it and opened it and was told file access denied and was unable to use crackutil completely.
any other suggestions?
Thanks

It's kind of extreme but what I would suggest is a "Handheld Wipe". What that does is resets the settings on your phone back to factory defaults. Meaning that you're basically getting a like new BlackBerry. The drawback is by doing this you delete your address book, emails, calendars, etc. However if you backup that info to your BlackBerry Desktop Manager and restore after you wipe the handheld you should be fine.

To do a "Handheld Wipe" this is the path Menu>Options>Security>General Settings, then press your BlackBerry key (the one to the left of your trackball with all the dots) and that will show a menu. In the menu you'll see an option that says "Wipe Handheld" then you just follow the walkthrough and you'll be set. Hope this helps.

But if the OP can't even open DM, s/he can't do a backup!!

There's always "manual" ie pen and paper, or emailing them to yourself.

OP, have you tried Loader.exe? If you have your phone OS on the computer, you "should" have Loader in c://Program Files/Common Files/Research in Motion

You can do a backup there, at least, then wipe the phone.

thanks for your help too, i have done this several times and each time it doesnt wipe it.
All of the settings i want to change have a small red lock sign next to them.
I am desperate to remove this from my blackberry so i can start using it properly, as it seems very pointless at the moment!
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

what is phone os?
sorry not up with the lingo!

Phone OS is the Operating System that is on your phone. It also has to be installed on your computer.

To see what OS is on the phone, Options>About

how would i do that?

On the phone, go to Options > About.

On the computer, I'm not so sure, as I don't use Windows, except to update OS and backup my phone.

I believe it's in Control Panel, Add/Remove programs, if you're on XP.

If it's not there, you will need to download and install it to your computer.
