Instructions
1
Come to terms with the fact that in order to reset your forgotten BlackBerry password you will lose all of the data on your phone. A password reset wipes the device clean as a way to protect your information in case the phone is stolen—it is a tight security measure that is built into BlackBerry phones.

2
Type in the incorrect password. The BlackBerry will tell you how many more tries you have to enter the wrong password before it resets (you usually have between three and ten tries total.) Continue entering the wrong password. You may be prompted to enter the word "blackberry" a few times to continue--this is to make sure that you (or a child ) aren't accidentally and unknowingly typing in the wrong password.

3
Allow the device to reset itself and shut down. Try to restart the BlackBerry. If nothing loads, the application software was removed as well and you should proceed to the next step. If you see your normal screen, proceed to the last step below.

4
Connect the device to your computer via your USB cord (this comes with your phone) and load the Blackberry Desktop Manager software (if you don't have it download it at na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop).

5
Click "Application Loader" then "Add/Remove Applications." Select "BlackBerry System Software" (along with any other applications you want to download to your phone) and then "Next." Verify the list of applications you want to download on the next screen and click "Finish." Allow the Blackberry software to reinstall.

6
Enter a new password under "Options" then "Password" (or the similar choice) on your BlackBerry.

Tips & Warnings
Type the new password down in a Notepad or Word file on your computer and save it so that you won't forget it again. You can also just text the password to a trusted friend or family member so that more than one person has it.

Save all of your important files to a media card in the future so that you won't lose all of your data due to a password reset again.

Keep in mind that you will not be able to backup your data using Blackberry Desktop manager software on your computer without the correct password. The program prompts you for your password for access to the Backup feature.
