I bought a used Blackberry 8800...First time user.

I put my sim card in and it asked to set a password which I set.

The phone works fine but after roughly 1 minute the screen will lock and it will ask me to enter my password.

I took it to AT@T because I had a problem where my contacts (address book) did not transfer so they did that for me. When I asked the guy about the screen lock he said it will always be like that because the prior owner installed something and only the guy who installed this screen lock feature can unlock (only he has the key!).

I don't think this is true.

Is there a way to unlock or get rid of this screen lock feature???
