When you enter the 10th incorrect password, the device will perform a "Security Wipe". That will erase all data on the device, and some installed applications.
NOTE: If the device's data is encrypted, the wipe can take SEVERAL HOURS! Recently, on an encrypted (and compressed which most devices are set to by default) 8700c (the fastest Blackberry around!), it took over 2 hours - maybe more than 3!
If the password was required by IT Policy, a password will still be required. I'm pretty sure you just enter a new password, although I'm not positive.
IT Policy can only be changed by having a new policy pushed to the device.
Search this site for a local hack to modify IT Policy.
