Is there a way to turn the wireless on from the blackberry lock screen if the user forgets the password. We can send a password reset from the BES server but if the wireless is off it will not get the request.
Somebody had mentioned that there is a key sequence to turn wireless on but I have been unable to find one.

never heard of that one.

Me too. I am not sure if this is possible.

AFAIK you can't do anything other than unlock the phone or place a 911 call when locked with a password.

Looks like the only way out would be to wipe and reactivate the BB.
Thank you all for the responses.
cheers.

/Crys, i hate wiping!

Here is your answer. Make an emergency call - radio goes on. Hang up and the PW command will be read by the device.

LOL Noice, exploit the BB!!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot. I am going to try that the next time and if this works I owe you a beer.

You will never find me turning down a free beer. And you have pretty good stuff up there in Canada.

Just tried it...it does work. Nice catch Sith.

I played with this on my devices attached to a BES. Its kind of amusing, but its a necessary thing. If you think about it, having the radio NOT turn on would be a terrible idea for an emergency call.

I doubt I am the first to mention that trick on these forums. If i wasnt so lazy i would search for it.

Tried just now and it works perfectly. Thanks Sith.
