Enter an incorrect password (up to 10 times) until the device wipes itself.
Then you can set a new password when the device resets.
After that, restore your data from your most recent backup.

No, it will wipe itself clean and reset back to near factory settings.

Yeah, the whole point of a BB is security.

if you dont have the password, there is nothing you can do but (some form of) a wipe.

hope you made backups!

Or better yet, return the device to its rightful owner.

I gave you the only solution to your problem. There's nothing more anyone can offer you.
Take it or leave it.

Do you have caps lock or num lock on? Try removing the battery for 30 seconds and then try your password again.

If that doesn't work, then listen to penguin's advice. It's the only way to resolve your issue.

It will definitely wipe your device if you enter the incorrect password 10 times. But you will lose all data on the device. Contacts, calendar appointments, email messages, SMS messages, etc.

Excuse me Mr. Lawyer, Esquire. But in your case, I will overlook that problem. We get many people posting your very question who are using found BBs. Hence my response.

And perhaps you can post your messages in a non-SMS/text message format so they can be read by us ordinary folks.

You received the correct response from penguin and jsconyers.

But back to business this is urgent because I have names of VIP investors stored on this phone. You see,I am legal counsel for government of Nigeria in charge of verifying investment returns. If I can't get these names back, no one will know who our very lucrative investment payouts belong to.if you can't help me get my messages back pls help by becoming a substitute investor, I gurantee tenfolds payment for minimal deposit. Its legit, rly,am a lawyer, I wud know. I will contact you shortly, check Craigslist or your spam box thaNk you God bless.
