Welcome to the forums

There's nothing you can do. You'll need to type "blackberry" and the device will be completely wiped.

How to toggle input languages
You can change the input language by keeping the ALT and ENTER
keys pressed while at the same time moving the track wheel so as to
select the desired language (e.g. change from Greek to English, etc.)

According to a googled translator

Blackberry = "xxx946;xxx945;xxx964;xxx959;xxx956;xxx959;xxx965;xxx961;xxx953;xxx940;"

Just a thought here....if the OP was to reload or upgrade the OS would they be able to change the language?

That would be the best bet. You may just have to spend the 45 min to reload the phone

*Edit* Re-load the OS.

You should be able to wipe it using this:
