There are problems but they can be fixed.
Hang on a couple of days please.

This is the thread for CrackIT. CrackIT is a program to remove the current IT policy from your BlackBerry phone.

The program is based upon naviwilliams' thread http://forums.crackberry.com/f3/remo...lackberry-569/.
I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS PROGRAM. I CANNOT TEST IT AS I DO NOT HAVE AN IT POLICY TO REMOVE. I know that it works because it does what I designed it to do.
Here is an extract from CrackIT's help text.
HOW TO USE CRACKIT
CrackIT is very simple to use. However it needs a couple of things before it can do its job.
WHAT CRACKIT DOES
- Desktop Manager must be installed for CrackIT ro run correctly because it is Desktop Manger that actually does the real work.
- Your BlackBerry phone must be correctly connected to the PC with the phne�s PIN number displayed in the bottom left of the Desktop Manager panel before you run CrackIT.
- With these two things correctly done, run CrackIT and click the big button. You will now be asked to enter the password RemoveITPolicy (correctly cased) before CrackIT will proceed. This is just to make sure that accidents do not happen. Crackit will now do what is described in What CrackIT does. Immediately Desktop Manager will be launched and the new factory policy will be applied.
- This only needs to be done once and the newly applied policy will remain active until a different one is applied.
CrackIT replaces the current IT Policy on your Blackberry by replacing it with a default policy. The default poicy is the one that your BlackBerry was delivered from the factory with.
To do what it does CrackIT needs to write to your system registry. It puts the following ( HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Policy Manager C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Policy Manager\policy.bin )
the registry and leaves it there. CrackIT does not remove this registry setting even after you remove the program. You may do so yourself if you wish.
CrackIT also uses the file policy.bin. This is the standard IT Policy that gets written to your phone. At program installation time policy.bin gets copied to Program Files/CrackIT. When the program is run and the big button pressed policy.bin is moved (not copied) to C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Policy Manager (CrackIT creates the folder Policy Manager) where it needs to remain so that Desktop Manager can find it.
Once the file move and the registry patch has been applied CrackIT runs Desktop Manager. Your phone needs to be connected at this time and if it is, the current IT Policy on your phone will now be replaced.
