• Add a message to the home screen of your device
• View the location of your device on a map
• Delete all of the data on your device
• Flag your device as stolen
If your device is not connected to the wireless network, or if the data services are turned off, you should
still try to lock your device and delete your data by using the BlackBerry Protect website. The next time
your device connects to a wireless network, or data services are turned on, your device is designed to
lock and to wipe all the data.
If you don't have BlackBerry Protect set up on your device, contact your service provider or your
administrator and report your device as lost or stolen. Your service provider or administrator has the
ability to remotely lock your device and delete your data.
If you suspect your device was stolen and you locate your device by using the BlackBerry Protect
website, contact your local law enforcement agency to retrieve your device. Don't try to retrieve your
device on your own.

BlackBerry Protect

Finding and protecting a lost device
BlackBerry Protect includes features designed to help you find your BlackBerry device and help protect
the data on your device if your device is ever lost or stolen. You can turn on BlackBerry Protect when
you first set up your device, or later in your device settings. You can manage up to seven devices from
your BlackBerry Protect account.

After you turn on BlackBerry Protect, visit and sign in with your
BlackBerry ID. On the BlackBerry Protect website, you can view the current location of your device on a
map, make it ring (even if it's in silent mode), or display a custom message on your locked device to
provide instructions about how to contact you. If your device is stolen, you can remotely lock it, change
the password, or delete all of the data from your device. When you flag your device as stolen and delete
all of the data from your device by using the BlackBerry Protect website, BlackBerry Protect remains
enabled on your lost or stolen device. If someone finds your device, that person can't set it up without
knowing your BlackBerry ID.
If you add a work email account to your device, your administrator might disable BlackBerry Protect, or
the ability to remotely change your password or view the location of your device.
