Email account setup failed & now email account locked out
I tried setting up my Blackberry Playbook (OS 2.0) with my work email account. This failed for all three types of connections - Exchange, IMAP, and POP.
Now an "external" server is trying to connect with that account at the place I work (University of Lethbridge) and still failing but causing account to be locked out.
The IT department has traced the IP to 68.171.232.33.rdns.blackberry.net
Evertime they "unlock" the account, it becomes locked again within seconds, because of requests from that IP to access my user account (which is also my email account credentials).
I have tried shutting down the Playbook, but this does not help.
I have wiped the Playbook and re-installed the operating system and upgraded to version 2.0 again, but again this has not helped.
I have accessed my Blackberry account, but there is nothing to edit or change, regarding the email settings that I tried to use to connect to my email account at the U. of L.
Any suggestions?
Solved!

I had no problem setting uo a live.com account, but had issues with a POP 3 server, although I did'nt get "locked out". I found some advice in the official balckberry forums. Something to do with resetting the incoming port to 110. The second night i used the PB, I got it to operate correctly. Good luck, I am impressed with the functionality of the PB, but the POP 3 server was a little testy.

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support or
Apple ID- Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. Ask to speak to

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
If you do not have success with one, then try another:
1. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

I couldn't remember the answers to my security questions. And I couldn't find the option to reset the questions. Now I'm locked out of my account for 8 hrs. What can I do to fix this?
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in that article.

I mistyped my security answers and now i'm locked out for 8 hours on my pas? Really
A little frustrated with such a "genius" company. Mistyped my apple security answers o my new ipad and now i'm locked out for 8 hours! Solutions, even the custoer help couldn't help!
I don't know if Apple is a "genius" company, but it's standard practice in for internet firms like Apple and AT&T to lock down the password on accounts that show repeated attempts at accessing accounts. So far as the computer is concerned, you could be a user - or a hacker.
We've all forgotten our share of passwords. You can always request a new password from Apple. Or you can invest in a password management utility like 1Password that automatically remembers your passwords. -
Please Help! Somehow I have managed to mess up my password and now I am locked out of my Ipod. Is there a way back in without losing all my photos?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I forgot my ipad password and now I am locked out?
I forgot my ipad password and now I am locked out. What can I do to reset the password on the ipad?
Connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you can't use the computer that you normally sync to then you will need to use a different computer, but you won't be able to re-sync your content. -
Suggestions Re: I'm running OSX 10.9.2, when my system updated it required my Apple ID... When I provided it, it said that AppleID hadn't been used at the App Store... so now I'm locked out of my system... what do I do??
First, there are no PPC Macs that can run Snow Leopard or later. Did you buy your iMac used? Where did you get Mavericks in the first place? If it was installed by the seller, then you are not licesnsed to use his/her copy.
Do you know exactly what iMac model you have? If it's a post 2010 model you can do the following:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. You may then go to the App Store to download Mavericks using your Apple ID.
If you have a 2010 model you may require a special firmware upgrade before you can do the above: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery.
If you have an earlier iMac then you must get Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed by installing a version of Snow Leopard either included on the software restore discs or:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply. -
