Blackberry Curve 8520 password

[Shark.]

Hi guys.

I read that on the 8100 you can remove the start-up password by typing the wrong one 10 times ( it will wipe all data from messages etc) ... is that the case with this model ? .. the person doesn't know the password on it..

Much appreciated!

Hi had this off the blackberry site.
Turn off smart password entry

You can turn off smart password entry to reduce the chance that someone might guess your device password or smart card password based on the smart password filter that your device applies to password fields.Before you begin: To perform this task, you must be using a smart card and a password to unlock your BlackBerry® device.

1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
2. Click Password.
3. If necessary, change the User Authenticator field to Smart Card.
4. Set the Smart Password Entry field to Disabled.
5. Press the Menu key.
6. Click Save.

To turn on smart password entry again, set the Smart Password Entry field to Enabled

not sure if it's what you want but just goggle it.

The password is as soon as you turn in on , i won't be able to go into the home screen.

Maybe call to makers might help you ?


P.S You may not be getting help because it sounds like the phone is pinched .

re flash the fone and that will do the job am sure.

However all your data will be lost mate


if you dont know how to re flash the fone then I would suggest you take it to a phone shop and they will do it for you.

Done some research and the way i stated will work , and it is NOT pinched , thanks anyway... It's 2nd hand so i'd remove all data anyway
