Can't unlock my keyboard

I have a curve 8900 and I can't unlock the keyboard so basically can't use it at all
I charge the phone or take it out of the holster and can see it is on an locked. I then try and press the unlock button but nothing happens and then the screen just goes blank.
I have tried taking the battery out and in again and this isn't helping. any ideas?

FYI - I figured it out. While the iCloud interfaces used a phone touchpad style interface to enter the passcode, the computer shows only 6 blanks. I had chosen a password based on 6 letters, not numbers. The computer would only accept numbers, and once I transposed my code, I was able to unlock the iMac just fine. An AHA moment in the shower this morning, for sure.

  • Can the "Apple iPad Keyboard Dock" unlock an iOS device?

    I have a iOS device where the touch screen isn't working any more after some water damage, and even replacing the front display doesn't help. It's apparently a problem on the circuitboard that I cannot get fixed.
    I only need to be able to unlock it so that I can connect it to iTunes and back it up, so I wonder if this "Apple iPad Keyboard Dock" can be used to unlock the device.
    Does someone own this keyboard and could try this? Can you unlock the iPad or iPhone and enter a passcode after pressing the wake button, without having the swipe on the screen?

    No.  The iPad Keyboard Dock connects to the iPad through 30 pin connector on the iPad.  Your PC wouldn't have that connector.
    Instead, you should just get a USB keyboard, which basic models are often just $20.

  • How do I unlock my keyboard

    How do I unlock the keyboard on my HP Pavilion dv6.It worked fine until my two year old touched it. I don't know if there is a key to lock and unlock it. It does not work at all.

    There was no damage done to it. It does not work at all, The only way I can use it is by signing in with my fingerprint and using the on screen keyboard. I have not tried using an external keyboard, it kind of defeats the pupose of having a laptop which I am supposed to be able to take with me on the go. There is a key on it that has a padlock icon on it. I did not know if that unlocked it or not. The only button that works on it is the fn key, but I have to hold ot down to allow it to work. And it only works on the sign in page.

  • Why I can not unlock the record when close a page?

    I develop a jsp page as client,the jsp application use a business componment with statefull application module.i call a database rowset's lock function in jsp page to lock a record,now,after i close the jsp page without commit and rollback,the record is not unlocked,until i restart the oc4j application server.how can i unlock the record when close the page without commit and rollback?????

    Li Ping:
    If you lock a row in the course of a transaction, you cannot unlock the row until the end of transaction (either rollback or commit). DBMS doesn't allow this.
    Alternatively, you can try to delay locking of the row. E.g., you can try using optimistic locking. Please see the Java Doc for oracle.jbo.Transaction if you're interested in optimistic locking.
    Thanks.

  • Can an unlocked at&t be used on verizon now that verizon is using SIM's?

    Can an unlocked AT&T Galaxy s4 be used on Verizon now that Verizon is using SIM cards?

    No, because the AT&T model doesn't have the CDMA radios for the voice network that Verizon Wireless uses. The data probably won't work either because AT&T and Verizon Wireless uses different frequencies for their data networks.

  • My Ipad is in a locked rotation.  How can I unlock it?  carolynmunson

    My Ipad is in a locked rotation.  How can I unlock it?  carolynm.

    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • HT4976 how can I use emoji keyboard on iPhone 3GS????

    how can  I use emoji keyboard on iPhone 3GS In wts app nd version ov this is 5.1.1(9B206)????????

    Once the keyboard is connected, it should work with any app that uses the standard keyboard interface, so it will work with iWork.
    br121: iWork was released for iPad quite some time ago, and updated for iPhone 4 recently.

    How can I unlock my Ipod?

    You do not have to restore as new.  You can restore fom backup since the screen-lock passcode isnot in the backup.  ALso, if  iTunes asks for the passcode andyu can't enter the passcode place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:

    how can I unlock my iphone??? on the screen I only have the apple logo and  a thing that looks like if the phone is working but no advance

    Hi,
    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:
