Default 8700f bypass password and wipe device - 11-02-2009, 05:16 AM

Hi everyone, at work I've been handed 16 x 7290's and 4 x 8700f's to dispose of or find new use for. They are either old phones where users have had upgrades (7290's) or new phones that are unused as a result of staff leaving, redundancies etc.

The problem I have is on the 8700f handsets, users in the organisation are required to set a password when they receive their BB but now that these individuals have left the organisation we are stuck with handsets that are locked and we have no idea how to get into them.

Please can anyone advise? Maybe a master reset that will wipe everything off the handheld (including password)? Or is there a way using Desktop Manager that I can bypass the password and access the devices?

Enter the wrong password 10 times and it will automatically wipe.

Were these devices previously on BES?
