Set a smartphone password
If you forget your BlackBerry® smartphone password, it can't be recovered. You can reset your password without knowing your
current password by deleting all your smartphone data.
Research In Motion recommends that you regularly create and save a backup file on your computer, especially before you
update any software. Maintaining a current backup file on your computer might allow you to recover smartphone data if your
smartphone is lost, stolen, or corrupted by an unforeseen issue.
1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
2. Click Security > Password.
3. Click Set Password.
4. Type a password.
5. Press the
key > Save.
To turn off your BlackBerry® smartphone password, clear the Enable checkbox.
