BlackBerry smartphones HELP! Locked out!

So this is my first Blackberry - I have always been a user of Palm (Boo to the PALM).  I was set up on my new curve and be conditioned as I was in the past with my Palm Treo - I put in place a lock code on my curve.

The first time that it is locked, I typed my password, and it was beautiful.  The second time - I swear I typed the code lock correctly, but he says that it is incorrect.  I know that I'm not hitting, but he repeats to me the password is wrong and now I'm down to the last test. I don't want my last try, if it will erase all my info.

When I entered the password initially - I used a series of 4 numbers (I was not focused on the numbers and letters. I tried these 4 keys with and without the num lock on - and he says always incorrect.

What can I do?  I even have not been able to back up my contacts again and can't bear the thought of losing!

Thanks for the reply d_fisher.  I was in a panic.  What I was reading was preparing to me to have all my information deleted.  I took your advice on my last attempt, I typed in the key sequence and left Cape Town & the off num - and it worked.  Tonight was my lucky night I guess

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BBID locked out

    Hello. Is there a way around this headache? I forgot my BBID IDs I needed to purchase an app. As indicated, I opened a session on the Web site on my PC and reset my login and my password. Online, I can sign with no problem however my laptop seems to expect the old username and passoword so I keep getting locked. The only option seems to be a security wipe. Is there really no other way to change data BBID on my mobile? I'm not willing to risk a wipe of security that the phone is still usable. The application providers will lose out however that I can not connect to make purchases! Please HELP someonne!

    If reset you, which means it's now a new BBID then, Yes, you will have to do a security wipe to use the new BBID. It will eventually catch up to you and you will need to perform the wipe.  BBID is used to BlackBerry Protect, BBWorld, BBM and more. If you never remove the sim card and use another sim card, you will also need. There may be more that too I don't think off the coast of the hand.

    Hello

    I take a phone of my coleague who has left the company. For some reason, I can't able to connect on the phone. Firstly I didn't at first, the password of my coleague ex, I went online and changed the password. However, when I want to connect with my new password to unlock the phone, I have this message:

    "You have exceeded the number of attempts to connect.

    For security reasons, you have been locked for 15 minutes. "Click on forgotten password if you need create a new password.

    But after 15 minutes and try again, the message... helpppp

    You try the BlackBerryID, or the security password, on the device?

    It looks like the BlackBerryID if you are locked out for 15 minutes.

    A wrong entered security password would give you only a message something like «wrong password 2/10»

    Then, to change the BBID of this device and make it 'your own' device, you'll need to do a wipe of the device security. This will delete all the data in personal, contacts, calendar, etc. and restore the State of the plant basically.

  • BlackBerry smartphones HELP! -Application error 606

    I'm relatively new to the whole community of smartphone, and I fear I actually broke my Blackberry!

    I noticed that e softwareupdated was available for my Blackberry, so I chose to download it. The problem is my phone kept freezing in the process, and I was getting a little impatient. Finally, my phone told me that there was not enough memory, so I should delete some applications to make room. So I selected a few to remove, and my phone froze AGAIN. Now, if at all, it has frozen or not, I'm not sure... Maybe I'm too impatient for the life of a smartphone.

    In any case, I decided to take out the battery to reset the phone, I have grown really tired and has to work in the morning, I so wanted to just turn my phone and turn it on again, put my wake up and go to sleep. As I just re - turn the phone on, it starts to load up as it usually does, then a screen appears:

    "Blackberry 5.0.0.496 platform.

    Then it lists a whole bunch of items in the phone, in alphabetical order, the first being "Addressbook."

    Then, in seconds, the screen goes all white and a small message will appear "Error App 606" and it gives me the only option of resetting my phone. I click on reset, and it's a cycle... The phone seems to be loading as it normally would, and then he'll come back to this screen of the Blackberry platform, then the App error 606.

    I ring my network provider in the morning to see if they can help me, but I was wondering if anyone of you here would know about this at all? I feel so stupid for the cause!

  • BlackBerry smartphones help serious necessary with BB 8520 required: (.)

    Hello

    IM new to these forums and a very new user for BlackBerry Smartphones.

    Well, cut to the Chase, today, my best friend give me a BlackBErry 8520 purple Royal as it comes to order the new BlackBerry Storm 2.

    My companion didn't tell me his password of deivce, discovered that I had to wipe my incoming express unit in a wrong password 10 times. After that, insert sim, put in place a free Wi - Fi, bluetooth, date & time etc, and thought id let me girlfriend know my news.

    It turns out that ive been many text to my contacts to sims, although none of them has been sent successfully, this makes google searches and I diverted to here, and how people bought BB on the black list on Ebay, or as much as sending and having the same problem.

    I also have the same problem, but my phone has been used by my friend perfectly for 5 months? Oh and I CAN use the internet and email, and windows live Messenger, I can't use my apps like Tumblr, myspace or facebook.

    I also have 'edge' at the top right of my receipt of phones, and all Blackberry users that if sims saved on the phone, mine is not? What can I do to fix this?

    I have no message configuration setting, and I do not know how to enter manually? If I can use the SIM card internet? Surely its registered and 150% is not on the blacklist...

    Please any help would be really appreciated and all advice will be taken, I will not go back to my Nokia5800 XpressMusic

    Thanks in advance... Thomas

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    But if the behavior continues mode without failure, you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.

  • BlackBerry 8220 Blackberry Smartphones help please!

    I have a new Blackberry 8220 its open from TMobile and it just turns off by itself.

    There the BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.6.0.278 (Indosat) and before I installed it I deleted the file 'net_rim_tmo_five.cod '. (This is the one I have now, already tried like 4 or 5)

    The thing is that, with NO SIM it never restarts, and with the SIM card IT will just crazy.

    I tested for more than 5 hours now with no sim card and its balance, with SIM in there just turns off very randomly.

    When it stops, no matter what, I have to remove the battery and put it back again, the Red led lights (Just comes on, not flashing), it starts to boot and then when comes to the white screen, it shuts down again unless I connect it to the charger. Sometimes it starts normally, but then again it stops when you use the phone.

    I read a lot already about this and tried a lot of things, I don't really know if it's a defective battery or if its hardware. May not be the operating system, many tried and wiped out everything after 3 or 4 guides.

    Can someone help me out here?

    EDIT: I forgot to mention that, sometimes, not always, it stops even pluged in charger.

    If you have tried with all operating systems, it is pretty obvious that it isn't a problem with OS. My guess is that there is a problem of radio which is the cause. It is probably a hardware problem and probably not much you can do about it.

    Hi all

    My new phone Blackberry 9530 is run out of battery in half a day after full load. Anyone have any suggestions?

    BAYAR

    First what OS are you running (go to options, approximately) 3rd line down it should say v4.7.0.xxx (Platform 4.0.0.xxx)

    Second are shut down all your 3rd party applications? Press and hold the button BB hard a Ribbon app will show, should always have 5 apps "still" running (host, bb messenger, browser, phone and Message Center) "»

    3rd if you leave always on GPS and Bluetooth on, which will drain the battery as well.
