Unlocking Blackberry
Hi,
I think I've somehow locked my blackberry. I have a lock on my phone and to unlock it you have to put the password in. I thought I was but after 5 attempts it is now saying - Enter "blackberry" to continue: I've entered "blackberry" and just blackberry but it's not working. Or does it mean a code/number of some sort. I've looked on the blackberry website and it's not really helpful, it says something like Administration < Security Breach< Clear Security Breach Yet I can't find this on the website (blackberry help) whereas, some sites say go into your menu etc but you can't if it's locked. ![]() Help?

I've found this- http://docs.blackberry.com/en/admin/..._619961_11.jsp
It's no help- there's no security breach option on the website.

It asks you to enter blackberry to check that your keyboard is working ok.
Can you see the word blackberry on the screen once you've typed it? Is it all in lowercase, no errors, no spaces? Once you've entered that and pressed enter, it should then give you another attempt. If it's playing up, might be worth removing the battery for 30 seconds, then try logging in again. |

If it's playing up, might be worth removing the battery for 30 seconds, then try logging in again. When you type it, you can see the word blackberry on screen yes. Lowercase yes, and no errors. When you type in blackberry, it just brings the message up again so gives me loads of attempts, but i'm typing it in right and it's still not letting me have the option of typing in my password! basically it's giving me endless attempts of typing in the word blackberry and still nothing is happening. ![]() I've tried the battery, but not for 30 seconds maybe I'll try that. If still not working I can see a visit to Carphone Warehouse coming on!
