Forgot BlackBerry Device Password

  • If you have forgotten your BlackBerry device password, and your BlackBerry device is on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, contact your BlackBerry Enterprise Server administrator and request to have your password reset.
  • If your BlackBerry device is not connected to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server and you have forgotten your password, there is no way to have the password reset without erasing all the data.

If you know the password you're typing is correct, try the following:
  1. Deliberately type in an incorrect password five times on your BlackBerry smartphone.
  2. Before the BlackBerry smartphone allows a further attempt, you will be prompted to type the word blackberry in plain text.
  3. Instead of asterisks, the text you have been entering for the password will now show in plain text. Check to verify that it is correct.
  4. If the password is still being rejected by your BlackBerry smartphone as incorrect, connect the BlackBerry smartphone to a computer that has BlackBerry Desktop Manager installed.
  5. A prompt will appear in BlackBerry Desktop Manager to type the password for the BlackBerry smartphone. Type your password to rule out missed key strokes, incorrect symbols, or a problem with the BlackBerry smartphone

I have forgot password for my blackberry 9700 and i am on 8th attempt. Please help me how do recover my password. Thanks

Sorry to tell but at the moment there is no way to overcome that problem other than typing your password in 10 times and having all your data wiped. Once it has been wiped you can then set a new password to it. I hope you have everything backed up!

I need a free code to unlock my blackberry pearl

On all the Blackberries i have seen - the password if you get it wrong ten times it just deletes all the personal data on it and resets it to the operator defaults.

so if you havent had a chance to use it much because its locked out, just keep typing the reset password wrong, type blackberry when it tells you too, and keep trying until it says Wiping Handheld.

I put a password on my blackberry and forgot it. now my phone is locked. how do i unlock it?

As a security feature, the BlackBerry device is designed to allow a maximum of 10 attempts by the BlackBerry device user to type the correct password. After the tenth attempt, if the correct password has not been typed, all data is erased from the BlackBerry device in order to discourage its theft or misuse.If you are certain that the password you are typing into the BlackBerry device is correct, please complete the following steps.
1) Deliberately type in an incorrect password five times on your BlackBerry device.
2) Before the BlackBerry device allows a further attempt, you will be prompted to type the word blackberry in plain text.
3) Instead of asterisks, the text you have been entering for the password will now show in plain text. Check to verify that it is correct
4) If the password is still being rejected by your BlackBerry device as incorrect, connect the BlackBerry device to a computer that has BlackBerry Desktop Manager installed
5) A prompt will appear in Desktop Manager to type the password for the BlackBerry device. Type in your password to rule out missed key strokes, incorrect symbols, or a problem with the BlackBerry device
6) If the password you have given is still rejected, and your BlackBerry device is on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server that has software version 4.0 or greater, contact your BlackBerry Enterprise Server Administrator and request that your password be reset for you. I
f you are not on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server and have forgotten your password, there is no way to have the password changed without wiping all data from your BlackBerry device.

ONCE U RECIEVE NETWORK UNLOCK CODE FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE IN UR HANDHELD
SELECT OPTIONS IN APPLICATIONS -->SELECT SIM CARD --> PRESS MEPD, PRESS MEP2 (you would not be able to see option to enter these codes, Just enter once you select the sim card option) --> ENTER THE UNLOCK CODE AND PRESS OK TO UNLOCK THE BLACKBERRY DEVICE.
