BlackBerry Smartphones dSimple 4-digit password is not being recognised & observed Timeout of security not defining re-creation of my attempts to try again

Hey all the... I retired my Storm 9530 some time ago (my fingers are too big for the touch screen and key of BB contact confirmation system to the key light blue is lost in my porkers, so needless to say I didn't have much success with the storm) and currently active (on TELUS Mobility) a Tour 9630 I received from a friend as a scrap... I have set a password 4 digit simple twice now and have wiped twice the phone because it will not recognize the password I've carefully matched to each time.  Frustrating!

Both times I had the number of attempts to set password on 3, the second time, I deliberately set the security option timeout to 1 minute... thinking that if I waited entry password incorrect one or two attempts (in which case it was me the fat-fingering entry somehow), the number of attempt would be at least 3 reset again... She apparently does not exist , so I'm not sure what the purpose of this function is to - 0558PST27NOV12 FFF edit - OK, Security Timeout is how long a period of inactivity to allow before the automatic locking device.

I searched for 'lock' here and came across an answer to a Post of Thread that describes making attention to the key hold them used when setting the password... I can only think of two ways to enter figures: using the 'alt' key and then press the appropriate number pads, or, using the "sym" key and scrolling for the numbers right, one by one... However, now, during my third session of creation of password on the freshly wiped phone, I realize that because the entered password characters are masked, I can simply seized letters instead of numbers all along, a capital letter followed by three lowercase letters - is probably what its likely?  I can't believe it didn't come up here several times - edict of 0558PST27NOV12 FFF - OK, I decided that all the characters went to letters and must have been all lowercase password connection PC GUI-based unlock success of the device.

in any case, this policy of scorched earth to wipe my phone whenever I get incorrect password (somehow) seems harsh... I would like to have a simple lock on the device security, but not at the risk of it being deleted so arbitrarily... If I lost that a dishonest person found, chances are they would just wipe it and get this trigger themselves or, if they were honest, but curious, I'd get it back... wiped.

Is there another way to lock and unlock the phone w/o to the draconian measure wipe?

Thank you, FFF

Hello

It is excellent that you have discovered, by searching on this site, the solution to your problems of password entry. Play well!

As for your desire for a less drastic locking... feature that would require a separate application to do (I don't know if they exist). After all, the BBs are safer mobile devices available... to diminish the ability of the device lock feature would reduce the overall security of the device.

In my humble OPINION - the device itself is a mere commodity. The data on it, however, are priceless... and protect the data from prying eyes is essential for safe keeping the device in place. Fortunately, RIM provides several FREE methods to backup your data to be used to restore any catastrophic event. All users of BB to use these methods.

Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Bold 9900 just does not load

    I bought my BB Bold 9900 10 months and I never had problems charging my battery. But the other day, when I got home and charged, when I woke up, Led - the RED light flashes and custom light up. I used another charger (nine) but still the same. I tried to plug it into my laptop for charging, but still not good. BB office says this device was not connected (since obviously he doesn't have the power). I searched online and I tried the "kickstart" they say where I have to charge my phone for 2 hrs and remove the battery for 10 minutes and put the battery back and wait another 2 hours - still not good . Although when I tried, I saw the icon charge for a few seconds during the first 2 hours, but do not see it again.

    Anyone have a suggestion? Do you want to know if I need to replace my battery or have this problem? We have no Center service BB here in the Philippines.

    I have been using everything ok through POP3 email on my blackberry for the last six months and then all of a sudden yesterday asked me to check the password that I tried to do it but the only message I get, is that my user name or password is invalid.  This is not the case, as I am with the same username and password on outlook and my Ipad and these work perfectly.

  • BlackBerry smartphones address email and password

    My Blackberry Torch was stolen recently.  Now that I got my new camera and everything seemed to work OK.  I received emails addressed to it and who is "pushed".  I tried to download an app and had my Blackberry ID need I entered.  She would not accept my new password - so I asked to reset - but the email they were supposed to be sent to my blackberry address did not!  Does anyone have ideas, what can I do now?

    Oh okay Ouch, the using the blackberry.net email account is not good. These emails cannot be found or read any where, but on the BlackBerry smartphone.

    Personally, I never recommend using blackberry.net for this main reason e-mail accounts.

    My best suggestion is to get a gmail or yahoo account for free and create a whole new BlackberryID.

    Then, call your mobile operator Orange and ask them to bring this problem to RIM level two level tech support and get your old account merged or moved to the new BlackBerryID.

    Yes, it's complicated. But it's the only way I see possible... all this because of the password reset. Yuck, indeed.

    ******

    If you can do none of this, and you don't remember the BlackBerryID password or secret answer to the question, you're stuck.
    Your choice is:
    -Use a different e-mail account to create a new BlackBerryID (with which you will lose access to all apps purchased using the 'forgotten' first BlackBerryID, or)
    -Find the initial email you have been sent to confirm the initial BlackBerryID and there are a link to click to cancel and delete the account. Click on this, delete the account and then you can use that same e-mail to create a new account.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones built in storage media errors, not now restart...

    I said yes and he fixed the problem.  Yesterday, I sent a BBM message and the phone reset... on suddenly it reboot only gets 3/4 of the way through the startup process (stops under the 1 'r' in the Blackberry logo).

    I tried a multitude of things I've seen on many forums, including let it stand all night with the battery, try to start in safe mode (which I never could get it to do).  This morning, it does the same thing.  I found a post that suggested to reformat the internal memory, which I should have done when I had questions.

    Is it possible to get this reformatted internal memory if the phone does not start?  Any suggestions would be helpful.  I will ask a new phone of my business, but know that I won't get it until tomorrow... so I'm willing to try anything to make it work again (today).

    (1) make sure that you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.

    (3) the Application Loader Wizard will appear - click on "next".
    (4) in the ' connection: ' drop-down menu, you should see "USB - PIN: UNKNOWN". Click on the button "next".
    (5) you should see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Press Next and finish, and that you are well on your way to get your Blackberry to life. Congratulations! Just unplug and let the process finish completely.

    NOTE: If you do not display the list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead to see the message "the Blackberry Desktop Software has no Blackberry Device Software for the device you have connected to the computer.

All solutions?

    To reset a forgotten password, you need your secret answer. Period. If you forgot the secret answer, you will not reset the password to your BlackBerry ID. You will need to create a BlackBerry ID and try again. There is no way around that, it's a part of the security of a BlackBerry phone.
