How to unlock without a keypad

I have a blackberry curve 8320 and the keypad broke, so it's now impossible to unlock it or even reset it because i cannot write all the letters needed.
how do i reset it or unlock it without the keypad?

You won't be able to. You should be able to connect it to your computer with Desktop Software installed and make a backup. The Desktop Software will ask for your password and you should be able to enter on the computer and make the backup. Then replace the device. I believe you can also wipe the device from there too. If not there are some 3rd party utilities (BBSAK, JL_Cmder, etc.) that will allow you to wipe the device from the computer if you know the password.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘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.

    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.

  • How can I check in Itunes if Iphone is unlocked without simcard

    How can I check in Itunes if Iphone is unlocked without simcard, it is locked to AT&T and they confirmed they will unlock it... prevoiusly when I use to connect Itunes says something like this "Invalid sim" and it doesnt let me sync my phone which is not the case today, as it allows me to sync and let me show all details on the summary page and phone number is n/a
    Is this unlocked ? can you advice

    Go to http://iphoneoperatorcheck.com/ and enter your IMEI number (SN works fine) and it will tell you the lock status.
    Note the following with regard to the above;
    1) A locked phone will show as unlocked until activated after which the status will change to locked if the phone is locked to a carrier.
    2) Say for instance that the phone was originally locked to AT&T and you requested an unlock though AT&T. If your phone is unlocked by Apple following a request through AT&T, the status will continue to show as Locked to AT&T until you connect the phone to iTunes and do an update after which the status will show as unlocked. The status changes are almost real time.

  • How to unlock iphone without simcard by itunes

    HI friends,
    I would like to know how to unlock iphone4s without a simcard in it..

    Unlock from wireless provider? Only the wireless provider to which an iPhone
    is locked can unlock it. Contact them to see if they offer unlocking and if you
    qualify.
    Or unlock because you forgot password?
    Forgotten passcode or disabled because entered incorrect passcode too many times:
