Z10 locked and wont open

Hi ,
tried  to  unlock my z10 , it immediately showed attempt 6/10 , entered my password and nothing happened , didn't  even  show attempt 7/10 , carried on and nothing changed , tried entering any password again  and  again and nothing happened , still  shows its  6/10 .
I'm receiving calls , emails ( can't see them  as  the  phone  is  locked ) , all  other  notifications etc .
Tried connecting to my Mac but BB link  wont  work  unless unlocking the device .
Tried  restarting , took  out  battery , nothing .
Help  please .
Thanks ,
Laurence

This is very unusual. I use a number of Z10's and other Blackberry phones and never seen this.
Did you try calling Blackberry support?
I would guess you have a backup of the phone. You can try to re-install the operating system, and then restore the phone. Hopefully the backup is not password corrupted.
It is possible you installed a third party software and that is causing your grief with the phone. I have seen some very weird problems caused by independently written third party software.

    how to open my ipad when it says go to itunes

    Have you attached the iPad to iTunes on your computer?  Is this a new iPad?  If new, you need to connect it to your computer and invoke iTunes to set it up.

    I can't unlock my ipod help

    If you do not know the passcode to unlock your iPod Touch, you'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with in recovery mode and restore.  See this article for instructions on getting your iPod into recovery mode.

  • When i updated my computer, my safari on applications wont open and says "safari quit unexpectedly" and wont open but when i open it on the application key on the mac, safari will open. how do i get safari back on my dock where it will open.

    When i updated my computer, my safari on applications wont open and says "safari quit unexpectedly" and wont open but when i open it on the application key on the mac, safari will open. how do i get safari back on my dock where it will open. when i click reopen it wont. but i know safari works because thats what im using right now. it just wont open when i click the one i had loaded on my dock and in applications. please help!
    Stephanie

    Drag the Safari icon straight up and off the Dock so it goes, "poof" ...
    Now click and hold the Safari app in the Applications folder and drag that to the Dock.
    See if you can open a webpage in Safari.

  • FireFox doesn't fully close so whenever I reopen it refuses to open secure sites I had up when I closed it; it keeps thinking that the tab is already open and wont open another one. How do you fix this?

    Whenever I close Firefox and then reopen it later on it opens the last webpage I had open before closing the browser instead of my homepage. It seems that exiting Firefox doesn't fully shut it down and just puts it into hibernation mode. This has become a problem because when I have a secure webpage open when I close the web browser, without logging out of the page, and then try to go to that page again it thinks that it's already open and wont open another page for me. This means that I can't even navigate to the page to log out. I think it might be just a setting with Firefox 4 but not sure which one, any suggestions?

    For possible causes and solutions see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

  • My keynote has frozen and wont open but the saved version wont open either. if i restart my laptop i am afraid that it will erase my work. please help me

    my keynote has frozen and wont open but the saved version wont open either. if i restart my laptop i am afraid that it will erase my work. please help me

    Try this repair for Keynote 6.2,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:

    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application

    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash

    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in. 
    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4
    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions
    5
    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart

    install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped

  • Firefox closes and wont open on installing certain add ons

    I was using Firefox today and suddenly one of the add ons ( Download Helper ) started to be irresponsive. I tried to close firefox and reopen it and wont open. The icon flashes and goes away. I removed the app using Appzapper and downloaded and run a clean reinstall. Now, I went on to download all the add ons I used to have (Download Helper, Sage and few others) and restarted firefox and the symptoms reappeares. I tried to create a new profile and it didn't work. I used Safe mode to deactivate the plugins and it works, whenever one of them ( which I used to have before the problems ) is activated Firefox crashes. I went on to create a new Account and tried the same and it is working perfectly. So, can you tell me what I might have done wrong to cause this?

    Hello Pranav.
    If your Firefox is closing unexpectedly, see this support article:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes
    If you are unable to install add-ons, see this support article:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    Remember that if you have a problem with a specific add-on, you need to contact its author for support.

  • I tried to update Photoshop CS6 through CC, and PS got corrupted and wont open now.

    I tried to update Photoshop CS6 through CC, and PS got corrupted and wont open now. I uninstalled it, but now I can't re-install photoshop...installer just gives me the option to uninstall.
    This is my job, so very important .
    Thanks
    Johnny

    Download the CS6 installer from this link it should install on any machine the meets the specs. Even without a serial it should install as a trial version. If CS6 was activated on your system your CS6 credentials should still be there and when you install it should be activated. Then use CS6 menu Help>Updates to install the updated,  CS6 installs need to be updated.
