What happen if I forgot my password to unlock my phone?
What happen if the number of attempt I tried expired?

Anyone pls advise, I new to BB....cheers

It will delete all your personal data. You can then put in a new password and restore the data (assuming you have a backup).

If you enter the incorrect password 10 times, the device will wipe the device. Lets hope you remember the password and/or have a back up.

BTW, are you sure this is your device and you didn't just happen to find it? If that is the case, please try to return to the rightful owner.

I think you hit it on the head DubDub

If I recall correctly, after 10 bad passwords attempts and the resulting wipe, a BIS connected BB will start receiving mail again.

- Is this still the case?
- Will it still prompt for a password?

If not, exposing a thief to my new email (and allowing them to respond on my behalf) isn't so good

That is not correct. When the device is wiped, the service books are removed, thus preventing a thief from retrieving your mail.

It will, however, prompt for a new password to be entered after the wipe.

Ten attempts is the max. The phone can be configured to wipe on 2 or more (up to 10) failed password attempts.

Your password, or a new one? ... If a new one, they enter a new password (their own) the phone connects to the network, the service boosk will get re-pushed to the device, and the crook starts getting your email. Marvelous!!! (not). What's required is for your BIS to disassociate itself with that phone's PIN. I don't think it does that
