Forgotten unlock code/frozen keyboard

i have forgotten the unlock code for my BB curve 8530. It was freezing up and after hard restart would only go to device locked screen and allow me to switch betwe3en the choices but then would not go to screen i chose. Have downloaded the desktop software and been prompted for the unlock code. Should i have some confirmation code documentation that may have been sent to me, because i cant seem to find any. I bought the phone used and cant remember if i had to have the code to activate it or not. Can somebody please help me out on this, this phone now belongs to my teenage daughter and we all know what a teenager w/o a working phone is like to be around!!!! NOT PLEASANT!!!! lol

Hey sidetrack68,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
If the BlackBerry smartphone password is numeric and the Alt key is not pressed when typing the password, the password entered is alphabetical, not numeric. So for example if the password is 123 and you did not hold down ALT then the password is QWE.
The device password can not be reset, you'll need to enter the password incorrect 10 times to wipe the device, all data well be lost.
I hope this helps.

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

How do I unlock a forgotten pass code on my iPod touch?

Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I just rented a film using my apple TV and was then asked to enter a code - which I haven't been asked for in long time. I have forgotten the code. Any quick solutions to the problem?

Hello anetsa
It sounds like you have restrictions setup on your Apple TV. If you do not know your passcode to unlock it, then you will need to restore your Apple TV. Check out the articles below for more information about Restrictions as well as restoring your Apple TV.

Unlock codes

I have a blacberry curve 8520, it was purchased from virgin mobile as a reconditioned phone in June 2011, I need to unlock it so that my daughter can use it with her vodafone sim card, but virgin are saying the phone was not purchased from them as they do not recognise the IMEI number, and so cannot issue me with an unlock code. Has anyone ever come across this problem before and know how it can be resolved?

Hi & Welcome to the community..!!
Are you sure, its a locked handheld. Please check using procedure given below..!!
To determine if your BlackBerry is "unlocked" for use on carriers other than for which it is branded:
1. On your BlackBerry, go to Options > Advanced Options > Sim Card.
2. At that screen type MEPD (see note below) on your keyboard. A new menu will pop up.
3. Look for Network in the list.
4. If your device is "unlocked", it should say Disabled or Inactive. If it says Active, it's still locked to that carrier.

BB desktop mgr software on 8520 demands unlock code to connect

I would like to backup my wife's unlocked 8520 (running tmobile). Her friend tried installing a app awhile ago (I don't know the details) and the result was that the blackberry deleted all it's data instead. Thought I'd install the BB desktop manager software (for Win7) but when connected it's asking for the 'unlock code.' Wifey is scared s---less that the moment I enter the unlock code, her bb is going to self-destruct again. And, of course, I don't want to be between her and the phone if that were to happen ;-). Can anyone tell if it's safe to proceed? Or, if not (or if questionable), is there any other way to backup/restore the phone's data? She has no data plan, btw. Just the $30/mo tmobile talk/text is sufficient for her purposes.
Thanks much for any help!
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
It sounds like she's got a device lock password assigned to her BB. When that is in place, it is required when connecting to the PC to do anything with that BB at all. So, from the PC keyboard, you must enter the exact same password that she normally uses to unlock her BB on it's keyboard. Be careful, though, given the difference in the keyboards...many folks think that, on their BB, they are typing some specific characters for their passwords when in fact their password is something completely different...it's the actual characters of the password that are required, not just the physical keys on the BB keyboard that are pressed (the use of ALT and other key modifiers changes the resulting character on the BB keyboard).
If you enter it wrong, it should say so, as well as tell you how many attempts you have left (typically there are 10 attempts). If that happens, then you can always untether and enter the password on the BB keyboard (they are the same counter), watching closely then to see what the actual password characters are.
Good luck!

I don't remember my unlock code

To whom it may concern:
I need help retrieving my unlock code to access a book in my library because the email I used to set up the Adobe reader is an email I no longer use.
Thanks,

If you remember the password you used with Adobe when you created your AdobeID, the email itself does not need to be in use to use the associated AdobeID.
You can use it (old) email and password both to register ADE and to login to the Adobe website for other services and id administration.
If you have forgotten the password you can't use the usual password recovery as that involves an email to the email address.
Try Live Chat and see if they can do anything to help. http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
If you do once gain access to your Adobe ID you can visit https://www.adobe.com/uk/account/account-information.html#myadobeid
and add an alternative (up to date) email address for recovery reasons.
I'm not sure if you can change the main email address: there is a slot on the page above to allow that but not sure exactly what it does and how it affects existing registered devices.

Nokia 5610 Lost unlock code ( not security code )

I buy nokia 5610 and set password guard for keyboard. I press incorrect. I has not change security code ( 12345 ) Please help me. Now I only used answer any call .... huhuhuhu
Message Edited by geronimo on 02-May-2008 06:53 AM

!!!OHOO!!!

Forgot Nokia 5310 Key unlock code

i have forgotten the code which unlocks my nokia 5310 keypad
i really need some help because i can't do anything without it.
Also if it helps i of course have all the items that came with it usb, instructions,etc
if i left anything out please ask, because i really need to get it unlocked (preferably at home rather than taking it somewhere)

I'm afraid there's nothing you can do as an end-user. If there was, the security code would be of little use...
Your only options are:
1) remember the security code, or
2) Take the phone to a Nokia Care Point, where they can reset the security code.
Note that the NCP will want to see documents proving that you are the owner of the phone and that is isn't one you "borrowed" or "found" somewhere. An invoice showing the phone's IMEI and your name, and photo ID are what's required usually.

TS3274 forgotten unlock password on ipad

Help! I have forgotten my password ,to unlock my ipad, and disabled it to 24hours.How do I get unlock my Ipad 1 ??

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the
          Back Up option. If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary
          to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.
