Changed display of password of blackBerry Smartphones

I have a simple password enabled on my device. Tonight, my son was messing around and tried to enter the password.  Somehow, he changed the asterisks projection screen when the password is entered to show the alphanumeric characters.  I tried to use the alt - shift keys to get the display settings to change it back and enter the actual password, but the screen changes to asterisks and the device does not accept that the password entered as the actual characters is the same thing (I think it's similar to what Mickey55 posted on below - however, my unit is less than one year old).  Anyone have any ideas?  I am on try #9 and really don't want to have all the data wiped out by starting from scratch.

Hey, do me a favor and fix the wire OK?

  • Correct password of blackBerry Smartphones and yet BB only unlock, almost 10 attempts

    I forgot my BB in my backpocket and sitting on it together and found that the password had been tried 6 times. He gave the instruction to type in "blackberry", and then the password that I did correctly, it's a password that I used for the last month, so I know I'm not wrong. I have managed to unlock the phone but noticed the 4 entered digits now arrive in legible on-screen characters and not the usual Asterix displayed when passwords/pins are entered. I have that one attempt remaining, can help please?

    Often users with more than one digit in their password will only press the ALT key to the first digit and not those who follow, so for example, if your password "1234", you could put pressure on 'Alt 1234 "on the device, making the real password to be"1st".

    Who is? It sounds familiar to your use?

    In order to verify the manner in which you enter your password on the device... do you think that you enter several numbers, but in fact are not?

  • Change password email blackBerry Smartphones

    I have a hotmail account.  I changed my password on my laptop for hotmail and don't know how to change the password on my curve 2.  The curve tells me to "' validate the password.  When I enter the password in the box and press 'next', it is an invalid password.  Any ideas would be surely useful.

    Thanks for the reply.  I discovered what the problem was.  When I changed my password on my laptop to hotmail, I did a 17-character password.  The bb will not accept a password of 16 characters or less.  So, I went back to my hotmail account and changed my password once more and he made a 16-character password.  Then I went into my bb to the configuration of email and entered the 16-character password and the password become immediately valid.

  • Questions of password of blackBerry Smartphones

    I want to put a password but I don't want to lock the phone whenever he falls asleep.  Is it possible to lock onto a different frequency when you set a password?  Preferably I would he lock every day at a specified time.

    Otherwise, I would like to put a password, but never lock the phone, but to change the password it should know.  It's my second option.

    Is it possible to do one or both of them?

    It is not possible through the security to the BlackBerry device password. I'm not if there is no third-party apps available to do so. However, with a 3rd party applications you can block specific applications.

  • Locking password for blackBerry Smartphones - sorry if repetitive

    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone can help, I have searched and searched, but found a few different solutions.

    My boyfriend and I both have the blackberry bold 9700, but today, it has encountered a problem.

    He had his phone in his pocket, while we were in the middle of texting he locked his phone using the locking password and then when he went to read the message I sent him it would not unblock him his phone.

    He has never even changed the password or all parameters - don't really know how. I put his phone for him etc.

    He's on his attempt to 9/10 the password, tried to use the ALT key and what other advisde forums, but this has not helped the situation.

    Is there something else?

    It's pathetic if he will lose his contacts, as he never changed the password. (and no backup at all).

    All contacts are saved in the sim card if they stay? Help, please!

    Thank you.

    HI and welcome to the Forums!

    While that unfortunate, it seems that you have already read and tried all possible combinations to get the password entered correctly. Only the configured password will work... There is no 'master' password or 'backdoor' to unlock BB. With only an attempt on the left, there is virtually no hope of success. One thing that might have tried was to attach to a PC... If you know how to enter the password correctly on the PC keyboard, which would have reset the counter... but, once again, with one shot left...

    Since you say that there is no backup, then all personal information, including contacts, will be conscientiously deleted. According to me, which will also include those on the SIM card.

    Best.

  • Guardian of password of blackBerry Smartphones

    After running fine for months suddenly my guardian of password will be synchronized only a partial number of records continues to "cycles" and do not allow me to access the app must be linked to the implementation of the new laptop Dell XPS13 I finished yesterday. Maybe something to do with using electronic mail to Microsoft Outlook on my old laptop from Samsung, but now it just go with Google Mail on the new Dell? My Blackberry was using Google Mail from the first day, as it was my Verizon Ellipse 7 tablet. I am not technically savvy enough to know what happened (obviously), but it is no coincidence if the password keeper 'synchronization problem' began in concert with installation and file transfer to the new Dell laptop. Help!

    Ok. I do not use it, have not met, but here's what I think I'll try...

    Perform a full backup before doing anything else.

    Restart the BlackBerry and try again.

    Perform a soft reset and try again. http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/KB02141

    In the settings for password Keeper, delete again cloud recordings and sync. (I guess it's possible, although I don't know exactly what you see when cloud sync is enabled and you erase the cloud records.)

    Must your desktop and your device be the same password?  I just learned the hard way that I did something wrong lol

    No, in fact I put the office 1 password and then set up my phone to another

    Except that there is no way to do it. The only place actually create/change the password of the device locking is on the device itself. Desktop software and then, when the BB is connected to the PC, feels that the BB has a password to lock the device and requires that it be entered on the PC keyboard order to continue (under high security with BBs)... that's where the difficulty comes in view of the difference of entry on the BB against the PC keyboard.

    and all hell is unleashed... and happen erasure...

    It is normal... after 10 sequential failures of password entry, regardless of the input source (BB keyboard or PC keyboard when connected), the BB itself will wipe clean on the assumption that he is not the real owner who seeks to enter the data on the BB. This is part of the high security with BBs.

    (I decide to secure my device with a password after 30 minutes of non-use and wanted to be sure to use what would work this time)

    A good practice. But set the password on the BB, very attentive to the real characters that appear when you create the password. Then use these same exact characters when you attach to your PC and you are prompted by the desktop software for this password.

    Good luck!

  • Display of e-mail blackBerry Smartphones New on screen?

    My husband has an iPhone and it has a great feature - when you receive a new email or SMS text, the text of the message is displayed on the screen of the phone when it unlocks.  Is there a similar feature for the 8300?  Call me Miss Instant Gratification, but I hate the notification and the blinking light and then go through the process of unlocking the phone, scroll to my e-mail icon, then clicking on him to get the message, only to find it's spam.  If I could just unlock the phone and BAM, there's the message on the screen, it would be great.

    I am ongoing 5.0 and if my camera is in the case and no criminal record, as soon as I get out of case it opens the most recent message to me. It is the property of BB by default should work for everyone.

  • Passwords for blackBerry Smartphones

    When I tried to sync with my computer, asked me my password. I must have failed to make a note of it and I don't remember so that if I can't get to the next attempt he will erase all my data. How can I contact BlackBerry to reset it in order to avoid this problem?

    BlackBerry cannot help with your password.  The password contains a number?  You can use the ALT key on the blackberry for Numlock.  No other options here, try to disconnect the computer and do a battery pull.  Let the boot of the phone upwards and try your password again on the device only.  This will give you some further tests to amount out.
