  • BlackBerry smartphone password does not

    I just updated my blackberry curve and then installed the software blackberry on my new computer. When this is complete, he asked my blackberry user ID and password. I did have one, so I put one up successffully.

    Then I tried to plug my camera on my computer with a USB cable I could not continue with the wireless connection. It requires a wired connection. Once I did that, he asked the password for my device. I assumed that it was the security password that I used to go to my phone. I walked in this digitally of the key number several times and it didn't work.

    Then, I went back to my phone and entered there and it worked so I tried again to the computer, but even once, it did not work. Then I thought that was maybe missing my blackberry ID password so I tried and it doesn't work. Thinking that I maybe entered my password wrong ID blackberry I have successfully changed and tried again this password. It did not work. So, I went back to try the password of security for my phone. That would not work either.

    Frustrated I then went back to the phone and noted that now when I try to enter my password as the characters appear they don't not before and I need to press the ALT key to give numbers. Nothing seems to work.

    I wonder if, when you plug in the device, it missed my device security password or my blackberry ID password? I have an attempt to the left, and then my phone will be wiped clean of data that I really need. I tried to configure things so that I could get back data up to when it started to happen.

    My last thought was that when I would normally enter the password on my phone I would just key numbers that I use without hitting the ALT key. Now I think that if I implemented this way maybe I have actually set up the password with letters instead of numbers. I'm afraid to try because this is my last attempt before losing all data. I first want to know if the unit is now looking for the blackberry ID password or the password of security? The password ID blackberry is now the password used for my device as well? If not then I'll try the letters and try my luck.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I fear that, with just the one attempt remaining, there is no hope. What you are saying is everything is correct... unless you use the ALT key for each digital character, which you wind upward with is just a numeric character followed by the alpha characters where you thought you were typing numbers. But, at this distance of the internet, we have no way to tell you what is correct or not correct. I know, it's that this IS NOT your password BBID... strictly username password locking device, created originally on the device and unlock whenever it locks. The same password must be used on the PC to connect to the desktop software. But, the content of the password, alpha or numeric, must match exactly... and if indeed as you fear, you could have involved the use of the ALT key on the device, then you may never be able to know what your password was never really. With just one attempt left, all I can advise is to use the BB to re-enter, but you only get the one chance of doing things.

    Good luck and let us know!

  • BlackBerry smartphone password reset after the end of support

    I have no more phone support.

    My old password does not work.

    I can't get my ID blackberry for work.

    I want to just this device to open.

    This means that you have your employers device, they have you removed from their network and forced a new password to you. You can call to ask what is the password.

    BUT, probably, their intention to reset the password is for you to do a wipe of the device security so that none of the persistent employer email, data, etc., remain on this device.

    After clearing security, you end up with essentially a new, fresh, device with no previous, ready to install as a personal device data.

  • BlackBerry Smartphone password expire in? days

    Hi gurus

    I recently acquired a Bold 9700 and have set up a password for the device, but now I am regularly told that my password expire in so many days. I tried to find where to change this setting, but in vain.

    Can someone tell me where I should be looking?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Want to know where to change the password itself? Or where to change the password expiration (days) setting?

    For the password itself, see:

    • Article ID: KB00588 Security password for the BlackBerry smartphone

    However, for the time-out setting, it's something completely different and not really controllable by the end user. So, first question... are you part of a BES environment? If so, then check with your BES admins they control it.

    If you are not part of BES, then check this, you can:

    If there is an IT strategy and that you are not part of BES, so that that you got the device does not correctly clean up everything first. Reference:

    If all the other steps necessary for the seller are completed, you can delete it strategy through this procedure:

    • Article ID: KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings

    If, in this context, you choose to do a backup/restore, and then not to do a full restore of your device that you saved before the ResetToFactory. On the contrary, do only a selective restore and specifically avoid restore databases that have to do with THIS, policy, business, or something else of that nature. If you restore those, he will dutifully restore it on the device policy, and you will be right back where you started.

  • BlackBerry smartphone password does not not to

    During the update yesterday, I backed up my BlackBerry on my computer.

    I entered a current password... when I tried to open it this morning it kept rejecting my entry.

    Even the computer requested my password nothing is done. \Help

    What are the steps to get things on the road?

    Hello

    It seems that you forgot the password that you tried to use the Desktop Manager before entering the password. Looks like you must complete the sequence and let the camera do a security wipe. You can then restore your most recent backup and reload your personal data and settings of the device.

  • BlackBerry smartphone Password Lock/keyboard Lock on Blackberry 8520

    So I have updated my curve to the new version 5. I noticed that there wasn't any more keyboard Lock/Password Lock. My previous software, it was named keyboard lock and I put it as one of my convenience keys. After the update, I noticed that he had ceased to exist. A friend of mine bought a new Curve 8520 with the update already installed of course. She had the locking of the keyboard, but he was named Password Lock instead. I have been looking for ways to get this feature to my Blackberry because I think it's more practical, rather than the button ' silent mode / mute "located on the top of my unit. The shortcut to lock my phone which is the 'A' on my keyboard quickly "locks" my keyboard only. I would like the feature set to be blocked if.

    Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

    The keypad lock is the A"" key. To unlock press on and hold the Mute button on top of your Bay for at least half a second. If you set a password under Options/Security, a new padlock icon appears. This can be set to a touch of comfort.

    Hello

    I am a new convert to BlackBerry, I used to be dismissive of those who raved thereon, but since taking delivery of my camera last night and have BIS activated by my mobile network today I must say that I completely understood why people love so much.

    I have a Nokia 6700, which took place from Series 40 of their own operating system and had a feature that would lock the keypad after a user determined late, such a feature exists within the BB OS, and if so how to activate it?

    I only ask because I already updated my phone in a pocket of my bag back to work without blocking the keyboard that I forgot to take.

    Any help much appreciated

  • Lock icon keyboard blackBerry Smartphones disappeared off the coast of the home screen

    The keyboard lock icon was on the home screen until I installed the updates that have been sent to me today on my BB.  Now that the icon has disappeared.  Check the Section help and could only know how to lock or unlock the screen manually.  Check the instruction booklet provided with it. again without help.  Searched through the BB Curve Demo Online - still nothing on the addition of the back icon.  It was so easy just push this button and not to worry about the keys in my pocket or your purse... How do I get it back?  If I'm not back I won't install updated any longer because I found that I got ro reset things like I wanted to... moving icons of folders to the homescreen etc... Please tell me there is a way to get this back... just bought this BB in June and a first I possessed and it is difficult to do without... HELP BEGINNERS please SO that SHE DID NOT feel LIKE SUCH a "dummy" LOL - thank you in advance for any advice that gives me!

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Looks like you have updated to the point where the locking function changed. In older versions, you had an icon on the screen. In the latest versions, you use the power on top of the BB button do a keyboard lock. To get the icon back, you must activate a device password... then you will have an icon for Active password lock. How it works now, and the only way to change this is go back to a previous version, when the change was made.

    Good luck!

  • Device of blackBerry Smartphones, password fails at the end of the installation OSv5 on 9000 "BOLD" - help!

    I installed the OS on my 9000 "BOLD", to the latest version.

    The process is almost entirely complete - unit recharged, and the progress bar to "Restore device data" seems to be almost complete.

    But then I get a message "your BlackBerry is currently locked. To continue, you can unlock your device. »

    So I enter my password on my blackberry and it does not - he thinks that I typed the wrong password.

    I try 5 times with the same results.  Yes, I type the password correct even I had to use when I started the Fund Manager and the installation process.

    The installation somehow caused my device to zero or change his password - how do I continue?

    I'm afraid to unplug the unit, given that the upgrade process has not completed.

    I'm afraid to enter the wrong password, since it will wipe my data from the device, and I don't know if I can access after installation to restore the only recent backup I have is one created automatically by the installation program.

    Can anyone help?  What should I do?

    My blackberry is associated with a corporate server, which can restore a part of my data - but in its current state, it is not activated with the server.

    Don't be afraid to unplug your phone during an update.  This seems quite heavy but you can still recover your phone of the backup that was made before the start of the update automatically.  You might even find wise wipe the phone and restore this update.  My only concern is that he could not get rid of the password problem. It can install the password feature again and you would be away before.

    I hope someone knowing the password function will have to intervene here to help.

  • Problems with BB Desktop Manager blackBerry Smartphone password

    I installed the BB Desktop Manager on my PC.   He went through the whole installation process all right, but when the program started running, he began to ask me my device password.  For some reason any DM refused to recognize the password. I ended up having to unplug the USB cable after the ninth attempt, trying to prevent wiping my device.  My camera seemed good then, but when I went back to it a few minutes later, he asked me the password again and wouldn't recognize it.  Now I need to

    Re-enter all my data, applications, etc.  Before that I still risk opening BBDM, can someone explain this? I don't think that I might have misspelled the password TEN TIMES... * sigh *.

    Sorry... I must be dense... I can not get the correct sequence of events in my head...

    Magneto wrote:


    I had attached only once.  As I said, I have disconnected after the ninth attempt via the pc.  The meter of the device had apparently not yet back on even if it had been unplugged for a few minutes.

    The number of times that you attached is irrelevant - it's the number of sequential time, you enter a wrong password, regardless of where you make the attempt. And also no matter how long you wait (disconnected or not) between retries. For example, a failed attempt followed by another unsuccessful attempt therefore still later an hour in 2 sequential unsuccessful attempts. And that is true even if the first is via the PC and the second is on the BB itself - it's still 2 sequential unsuccessful attempts.

    So, let me see...

    (1) you attached and I tried (without success) 9 times on your PC to enter the password.

    (2) you can untethered and then... what? A failed attempt on the BB, resulting in the 10th? This is what it sounds like. If so, then WAD - working as designed.

    What to do... even once, before re - enter all your data, re - assign a password. Make sure you know the exact characters which it is composed (not necessarily what are the keys that you think that you are pressing on, but the result in the field password on the screen). Then lock your BB. Then unlock. Then lock. Then attach and try the password on the PC. If you can enter with success on the PC, then you're good to go.

    Yes, my BB was a feature of the different keyboard - but it doesn't matter. What is important is what displays in the field of password on the BB when you enter the password. How to get to these characters on the BB (alt, sym, num, etc.) should not be relevant or... a 2 a 2. You should be able to fail 5 times and then it will start to show you the password in clear text (without *). Yet once, make sure that you can work properly before re - enter all of your data. Then, make sure you take a good backup on a regular basis.

    Good luck!

    Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most defects and errors of operating system, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.

    Now, try again the password Keeper password.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I can not quite sure what password you cause disorders (e.g., BIS, BB ID, e-mail account itself), but if those who are associated with BB (BIS, BB ID), then these password reset emails are, for reasons of security, not delivered to the BB itself. Instead, you must Access this email account (the one who reset email sent) another source... webmail, etc.

    But, if e-mail (the one who sent the e-mail to reset) is a "hosted" (e.g., @carrier, @bb, etc.), then there is no other access... and you need to put in place a redirection rule in this email account in order to have the reset email sent to a different e-mail account that you can access :
