Password 1 more attempt before locking up phone

ok not sure if this is where I ask for help with a sticky forgotten password question? So I have a BlackBerry Curve 8530 & it seems I have only 1 more attempt before locking up phone. How do I get the forgotten password, not to forget to mention that the phone is not in service anymore more a extra phone for pics and other stuff , someone please help me. P.S. if this isn't the place for this someone please let me know where to paste this long and boring story again. Thank you Nita!

if you do you will wipe out all your contacts and information and will have to reinstall your operating system. it just happened to me and now i cant get on the blackberry internet service as i cant remember the damm password

HT1212 While setting up using my home Wi-Fi I followed the direction on the screen, put in my Apple ID and password,& pass code that would lock my phone, now that it's activated I can't unlock it with the pass code! What do I do now?

I contacted my service provider and they told me to codec my iPhone to iTines on a computer, and follow the direction to set my hone back to the factory settings, I have nothing on it yet so I tried this, the iTunes Icon comes up with a lock under it. The phone vibrates part way through the process and still won't unlock. Now what do I do?

Sorry I didn't mean to hit the other button! But I did that suggestion three different times yesterday and it didn't seem to work! Still locked out of my phone! And when I turned it on just now it did the same thing, ( vibrated and wouldn't unlock)! Only this time it told me to connect to iTunes! But last night when I did this iTunes had a lock on it!

Itunes could not command to the iphone because it is locked with a password. You must enter your password on the iphone before it can be used with itunes

Did you try entering your passcode on the phone?

By coincidence, this happened to my son just last night. You do NOT have to restore it to a new phone, but you probably want a current backup.
Luckily, you can still sync and back it up even if it's locked, so connect it to the computer you usually sync it to. Go to the summary page. It's easiest and fastest to use a local backup, so if iCloud backup is on, turn it off and click "Backup now".
After it backs up, either click "Restore iPhone", or
- hold home and the top button until the screen goes black, release the top and continue to hold the home button until iTunes says "iPhone in recovery mode detected".
Follow instructions to restore from backup, and then sync to restore content. Your phone will come up in an unlocked state. If you have any stuff that was purchased directly to the iPhone (only), you'll have to re-download it.
Remember to turn iCloud backups back on if you use them.
If you don't sync you iPhone to a computer then I *think* those instructions with the buttons will put it into a mode where you can restore it from the cloud (make sure it is NOT connected to a computer while you do this). Otherwise, you will have to restore it as a new phone, then go to settings, reset, then restore it from the cloud.

My phone was stolen and I discontinued cell service to the phone through my provider. Before discontinuing service, I locked my phone from the icloud. Now that it is no longer being serviced by the service provider, will it remain locked?

Thanks, James. Sadly, I had not upgraded to iOS 7 as I only had an iphone 4 and those I knew with the 4 who upgraded had major issues with battery life, so I decided not to upgrade. However, I know the phone was locked because the new "owner" called and hung up on me while calling the number I listed in the "This phone is stolen message" set by the cloud. Are you saying that my phone will remain locked if they don't know how to break into it? Or are you saying that it will no longer stay locked once I turned off service to the phone?

My iPhone 3gs was locked to virgin but it was unlocked before i bought it and i now use a t-mobile sim card. If I update my phone to ios 5.1 will it lock my phone so I can no longer use it? I'm scared to update!! Please help

I updated my sisters phone yesterday to ios 5.1 but after I did this it wouldn't recognise her sim card and the phone isn't unlocked or jailbroken. My phone is unlocked but not jailbroken and I have done all the updates before without a problem. Does this mean that if I update to ios 5.1 it wont lock my phone and will continue to work as normal?

That depends on where it came from and how it was "unlocked". Virgin is a supported carrier in France and in Canada.
If you are in France, then it could have been legitimately unlocked. Virgin France offers unlocking.
If you are in Canada, then it was definitely hacked to unlock it as they do not offer unlocking there. If it is a Canadian phone, you can't be supported here at all. Discussing hacked and jailbroken phones is forbidden by the terms of service.

My phone got changed to another language and now my phone is disabled from trying to unlock it numerous amounts of times. The phone tells me to connect to itunes, but itunes tells me that I must insert the password into the iphone before proceeding.

Can i lock an app on my iPhone with a different password than the one i use to lock my phone?

can i lock an app on my iPhone with a different password than the one i use to lock my phone?

This should work; one of my e-mail accounts is my own domain through Gmail. Make sure your username is set to your full e-mail address (like [email protected]) rather than just your username.
Did you set it up on your iPhone as an IMAP account, or as a Gmail account? It should work perfectly using the Gmail setting. It can work as IMAP, but you need to jump through a few hoops to get there.

HT1212 My iPhone is displaying a "iPhone is disabled" notification. It asked me to enter my password multiple times before locking me out.

Hey there!
Unfortunetly, in situations like this, the ONLY other way to bypass that four-digit passcode and/or a disabled device is to connect to a computer with the most recent version of iTunes (11.1.3), connect the device in Recovery Mode and restore it to factory settings. Restoring to factory will completely wipe the device, including the four-digit passcode.
The steps to do so are outlined in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
(If there is any other way to bypass the passcode, it would have to be third-party, which I am not familiar with any program that can, sorry!).

You don't.
If you can not remember the password you entered, you will have to wipe the phone and restore as new.

HT1212 I have no idea why suddenly my iPhone5 will not move past the Password screen; also, a voice describes each button I touch, and ends with "screen locked" (not "phone locked").

I have no idea why my iPhone5 suddenly will not move past the PW screen; a "voice" identifies each button touched (the Slide button, for example) or the PW buttons, and then ends with "screen locked" (not phone locked).

I believe you have Voice Over on:
You have to tap, then double-tap to select the numbers to enter your passcode.
Then:
Press Home.
Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
Tap General. Then double-tap General.
Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.

IPhone Configuration utility locked my phone now passcode doesn't work

Googled the heck out of this but haven't seen any posts even close to this problem.
I was testing the iPhone Configuration Utility, prior to deploying configurations to enterprise users. I modified the passcode settings to what i thought would be basic requirements.
I also created payloads for Restrictions, and Exchange ActiveSync, but haven't included in the post, since I am fairly certain they shouldn't have any impact to the issue.
Once I saved the profile, i deployed to my phone via email, and installed it on my device. It then locked, and will not accept the passcode that I was using before installing the "test" profile.
The only other screen that I made any change to, that refers to any sort of password/code, was in the General area:
I set a security password to control when the profile can be removed, but it is a password more than the simple four-digit that the phone appears to be looking for.
I can try 2 more times before the phone wipes, which isnt the end of the world thanks to iCloud, but I sure would like to know what happened....
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Kevin

Thanks Bonesaw, I did connect the phone to the host running ICPU, but it was still looking for some unknown passcode. I ended up putting the phone in DFU mode as suggested by Kilt, and restored the phone. This is the first I've used the iPCU, but I would have been willing to bet the authentication password for the profile wouldnt affect the device passcode. I must have done something else wrong, so I will try it again and see what happens. Thanks for responding!
