What happens if you use all your attempts for unlocking the password for a Blackberry 8700C, and it says it won't do it?

Answer by  dee73 (1062)

The phone will block you out for a little bit, you will be able to try to unlock the password after the lock is lifted.You can try turning your phone off and back on. Another way is to do a soft reset by tapping alt + cap + delete. In 11 words that is all. Write your password down.

The phone will lock you out for a short time, after which you will be allowed to try to unlock the Blackberry again. Also, you can turn the phone off and on again to attempt to unlock the phone again.

Wait a few minutes. This is a security feature to keep people from getting your password too quickly. Also, you can try turning your phone off and then on again. Next time, don't lose/forget your password!

If you do not have anymore chances to unlock your password on your blackberry and you try again, your phone will automatically reset into factory settings which means you can loose all your data.

chances are that it will usually completely lock you out of the phone but if you simply call your wireless carier and explain to them that you forgot your password and give them the "ip adress" then they will very friendly and assist you in unlocking your fone and making a new password

Do a soft reset by tapping alt + cap + del. In 11 words that is all. This will not result in any loss of stored information. If it does not work, master reset w/ loss of data.

You can contact the phone company you have service with and they can help you out, or take it by their local store. Other than that the other way is to magically remember it.

At this point, you will need the assistance of the manufacturer in order to proceed. After too many failed logins, they will need to verify your identity.

It sounds like you have the wrong password. Contact your wireless provider and have them give you a new password. Otherwise I don't know what else you can try. You might have to have them actually unlock it for you. There may be something up with your phone the prevents it from being unlocked.
