I forgot my BB Curve 9320 Phone password.

Actually, the password I had set contained numerics which I changed by pressing the ALT key, now the phone isnt accepting the same new password. I have 2 tries left. I went to BlackBerry Protect website to see if I can reset the device password from Web, but I dont see any option there to reset the password.
What do I do now?
Need help, ASAP!!

Hi completeid
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
BlackBerry devices are the most secure devices , if you set up your device password then you have to enter the correct password to access your device. Also BlackBerry Protect is meant for Backup ,it will not allow you or there are no such services which allow us to reset our device Password.
As you said you have set numerics in your password, I think  you are not able to properly enter those on the BlackBerry  keyboard. For example , if your password is
2013 
And you enter alt > 2 > 0 > 1 > 3
 then the actual result will be
20wr
But you must enter  
alt > 2  > 0 > alt > 1 > alt > 3
 to get 2013 on your device.
So,  while on the BlackBerry  keyboard you think you are typing 2013 , you are actually typing 20wr
So take you time and enter your password correctly.
Good luck.

  • Trying to link Curve 9320 phone to home e-mail account

    Trying to do above and not succeeding using the phone. Seems like it is going to work and then comes up with connection failed message. I initially tried doing it through Virgin but they said i have to do it through Blackberry!?
    Any advice gratefully received.

    Hello,
    Knowing only what you've said, all I can think of to give you are instructions. From merely "connection failed", there's nothing specific that I can find for your situation. Hence:

    KB04478 Integrate POP accounts with the BlackBerry Internet Service
    KB15499 How to set up a BlackBerry Internet Service email address from the BlackBerry smartphone
    KB10154 How to integrate a POP or IMAP email account through advanced integration
    Sorry, but not knowing what your "home e-mail account" is, I can only provide you with that "shotgun" approach...hopefully you can figure out which might be applicable.
    You also can try, from your BB Browser, this URL:
    www.blackberry.com/integrate
    You can also try, from a PC/browser, your carriers BIS website...if they have one...they would have to tell you that.
    The last resort is to ring up your carrier and have them do it...which is risky since that means revealing your email credentials.

    I'm not at all sure what that agent was trying to tell you...BlackBerry does not host BIS/email for customers, the carriers all do that, and each controls their own BIS system. But, if you are indeed subscribed to an adequate data plan to enable email (there are many different plan levels) and your carrier cannot get it working for you, then they should escalate your case up to BlackBerry -- only they have a formal channel to do that, end users can't bypass their carrier and receive any support from BlackBerry directly.
    Good luck!

    If you've forgotten the passcode to unlock your phone then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the phone and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the phone into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a computer that it's not synced to, and which therefore doesn't have a backup on it, then :
    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.

  • Curve 9320 et mail exchange

    en effet lorsque j'essai de configurer mon compte, il me demande mon mail et mon mot de passe d'activation

    Merci pour votre aide
    Hello
    i'm new user of BB curve 9320 in 7.1. It's impossible for me to configure mail acount to this phone.
    So when i try to configure this, the phone ask me an activation password.
    What is this password?
    I try to connect this phone to my exchange serveur mailbox with MAPI protocol
    Thanks for your help
    Best regard

    Hello,
    From what you describe, you are on BES...as such, your BES admin (your work, your BES email service provider, etc.) would give you the required password.
    If you are not on BES, and the only option you are seeing is Enterprise, then you need to talk to your mobile service provider and subscribe to a service plan to enable personal/internet email accounts on your dervice.
    Good luck!

  • Help on BB curve 9320 - email problem

    PROBLEM: Whenever I send a mail from the handset, it shows as "SENT" but the receipient does not receive the same...
    FOLLOWING IS THE HISTORY of changes in the handset
    1. My BB curve 9320 was linked with Enterprise Activation Account in the beginning...
    2. Right now, i need not have to use Enterprise Activation ACcount.  Following was the process carried out for this:
                  a - From my voice plan and data plan service provider I changed the account to remove "Enterprise ACtivation Account"
                  b - I went  for a new data plan that is compatible with Blackberry handsets...
                  c - From the handset, options -> security -> security wipe, I selected all and did a "wipe".....All the information got deleted...
    3.  Now when I select, setup -> email account -> the handset displays -> "BLACKBERRY HANDSET SIGN IN"....I forgot the password of the same.... "Why should this dispaly happen when I want to use the handset only to check emails of my personal accounts?"
    My requirement is:
    1. I wish to add two personal account of mine....

    Can you clarify a bit? Is it asking for a device password or is it asking for a BlackBerry ID password? These are two different things.
    If it's just asking for a device password then it likely still has the IT policy from the BES you were connected to. You can remove that IT policy by following the instructions below:

    It is not possible to use the .dbk file to transfer your contacts to your BlackBerry. Are your contacts saved in any other place other than that file?

  • Curve 9320 issue (hang problem)

    Hello, i have purchased curve 9320 3G 1 month back but i couldn't use this more than 1 day, i use to freeze frequently, after inserting sim, it was running fine for 10-12 Hrs, after than when i received incoming call, it showed me the number and contact on screen but i could not received that, all the key got freeze that time and i had to hard boot that device by fetching the battery out, i also went to BB service center 2 times but they said its a normal antivirus problem, i m surprised how could a virus may get in to device as neither connected it to internet, BBM services nor to any PC through data cable.

    Hello csamit2004
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
    Whenever you feel any problem always the first and best practice is to perform a Battery Pull Restart by removing the Battery while your Smartphone is Powered On , then wait for atleast a min. and reinsert it back .your device may take a long reboot . Rebooting in this manner fixes most issues within our BlackBerry Device , you won't loose any data while doing so .
    Also be sure that you're closing all application correctly , If we press and hold the Menu for a few seconds, it will pop up a screen which will show all running programs in the background ,generally five will always there ( Home, BBM, Message,Phone , Browser ) you can always look if any other apps. are running in the background. Always try to Close Applications Correctly - Avoid using the End key to close applications as this simply minimizes the application and leaves it running in the background. Instead, press the Menu key, select the Close or Exit option to exit the application.Don't leave your Browser open on any active webpage when not in use.
    If programs run in the background it may lead to device freezing and also quick battery drainage.Please have a look at this Article I am sure it will help you a lot in overcoming your problems :

    Hey iftekhar,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    I would suggest backing up doing a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320. Please test before restoring any data to the device.
    If this resolves the issue do a selective restore of essential data (Address Book, Calendar, Task, Memos, BBM contacts etc.)
    How to use BlackBerry® Desktop Software to restore data to a BlackBerry® smartphone from a backup file
    http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339.
    If the issue still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry® Technical Support Services for further review and support.
    Thank you.
