- My dad brought a 9700 on ebay last week because he wants to have the same phone as me. But after he turn on it , it is locked with password! He entered a new password and tries to disable the password feature but to no avail. So i took it and tried to use some apps like bbm, but it shows "This application has been disabled by IT Policy." So i did a little research and found out that this happened because the phone was connected to BES at a point of time. Is there anyway to remove it? I tired several ways like wiping but the password feature is still on and can't be disabled. Please help me. Thanks.02-11-11 07:13 PMLike 0

It can be done, but there is a serious problem. The odds are high that it is stolen property. When a BlackBerry is hosted on BES, it is usually the property of the Corporation that operates the servers, not the employee or a thief that stole it.
The PIN number will likely be frozen making it useless for normal use.
The best advise is to file a dispute with PayPal/Credit Card and return it to the seller. That will protect him in the event the Corporation has reported it stolen and the Singapore Police show up at his door.02-11-11 08:38 PMLike 0 - i tried the above method but the phone password is 1234 . I set it myself. Whenever i wiped it , it has to re input a new password. I tried the above method with the crackutil but whenever i put in 1234 as the password , it either get wrong password or i/o 32. Ideas?02-11-11 09:25 PMLike 0
- Reed McLayRetired ModeratorYou may have entered 1234, but unless you held down the Right Shift, you actually entered the corresponding letters. A simpler option is to disable the password while you are working on it.02-11-11 09:57 PMLike 0

No offense, but if the device had been activated on BES there is a very very strong chance that the PIN is blocked. Having said that a "work around" is pointless because you won't be able to use it. There is nothing of benefit to be gained by continuing to bypass the password. I realize that is not the answer you want to hear, but it's the truth. Best of luck with your efforts.02-11-11 10:00 PMLike 0
