I have a blackberry Curve and can't remember my password. Can I get into it? It gives me 10 chances to remember and I am on the last one

How about going to the store for the provider you got it from... I'm sure you can prove its actually your phone as you will have an active account with them.

jeannie14 does not find this helpful : No, they say I will lose all data if they reset it

So... THAT is an excuse to be rude and violate site rules about WHEN a not helpful is allowed to be given...

Since a not helpful is ONLY allowed in information that's not factual... then explain exactly HOW the phone company would be unable to reset the password? YOU didn't write it down and put it someplace safe... you only have yourself to blame for this.

Using the Comments Feature - Official Guidelines
The Comments feature has undergone changes under the new "skin" (This site has different Interfaces, called skins, which changes the way members see the site and some features are different). So I'm revising theses guidelines accordingly (10/10/10). I propose the following guidelines for using the Comments feature.

First, comments and ratings have been separated in the new skin. Ratings are governed by Thumbs Up/ Thumbs Down icons next to an "is this helpful" question, marked Yes and No in the new skin. Older skins will see a Comments on this Post box with Agree/Disagree radio buttons. Most of what follows applies primarily to those.

Positive comments should be given under the following circumstances:
1) From the asker as a thank you
2) From other members to ratify the factual correctness of an answer
3) From other members to agree with the opinions expressed

Negative comments should be given under the following circumstances:
1) From another member when an answer is FACTUALLY wrong
2) From the asker if the advice turned out to be incorrect

Negative comments should NOT be given when:
1) there is a difference of opinion not of fact
2) when a response has been added to the thread disagreeing with the opinion
3) when a responder asks for clarification or more information (note: often questions do not contain enough info to answer so clarification is asked for--Answers should not be rated until the course of the assistance is complete)

These are the guidelines I follow when I use the comments feature. Opinions anyone?

The new skin also has the ability to simply add a comment to a post without a rating. These comments should NOT be used to provide or ask for followup information. This is because a) the space provided for comments is limited and b) the comments are not time stamped. The original poster (OP) should use the comments for thanks yous or the like. Other posters should use the comments for a quick comment on the quality of the advice. Otherwise the Answer options should be used to provide additional information or ask a followup question.

Note: The operators of this site have agreed with and approved the guidelines so they are now official.

If you find the number of the phone company(like AT&T or Verizon), you might be able to call them and they can work with you to reset your password. I am not sure if they have ways to get your old password, but its worth a try! Hope this helps! :)
