    One of the most stressful moments in my life (sarcasm) is forgetting the password (which I rarely do). I remember being on my 10/10 attempt and thinking about everything that was going to get deleted. Somehow I got it right the last time. Has it ever happened to you? Did you lose anything valuable?

    My pictures fromtrips and all my lifesaver notes and info, texts are what I cant lose

    Funny enough I've had this happen 2 times now. But, each time the count stopped at 7 and I could go on endlessly guessing until I got it correct and it was far past 10 times!

    This occurred on two different phones, a Z10 and a Z30. Not sure why it happened this way????

    It was official 10.2 and 10.3.1, no leaks.

    I prefer amatriciana! ;-)

    OT:
    Yes, amatriciana, but aglio olio has better matching sounds and cooks much quicker!

    With regards to the password issue, we can rule out mistyped pw? You're using the "show me" eye symbol?

    Input language is all clear, too? Are you using any rather obscure symbols and how do you type them? Flick down or using the virtual Symbol key...?

    Had similar issues on Windows PCs that just wanted to be EN-GB instead of EN-AU (Oz uses US keyboard layout because of the dollar sign). Users at company that were using symbols just couldn't log in, until someone (haha!) showed them the wrong keyboard layout was applied to system settings.

    Similar bug in BB10?

    No offense but how could someone forgot the password?

    1. You always have the phone, you check it about every 10-20mins
    2. There is an icon called Show/Hide password when you begin to type
    3. It's not an email or a secret Facebook account that you only check when your gf/bf is not around.

    Never went up to 10/10 though and have my phone wipped. What I do I just take my time and type and view the password or log on to BlackBerry protect, should give you more chances to get your password.

    My password is so basic it's ridiculous, no symbols or random characters, just letters and numbers. I simply forgot the order on a secondary phone I rarely use. Also, I use picture password so rarely ever retype the initial setup password.

    Sometimes you fall sleep on your phone, or have it I your pocket before the auto lock kicks in and when u wake up it's like already 5 tries. And require password.

    I could see having a password that long for some things, but on a mobile device that only gives you ten tries before wiping? Seems a bit much.

    And why would someone use a 17-21 digit alphanumeric password for mobile devices?

    Yep, I did it! What a dumb ***. However, after the wipe and reset z10 worked better than ever. Battery life even improved!

    Picture password works for me. Never once I forget where I placed that one number on the picture and I don't even try to hide it when unlocking. Hehehe
