About the device password
If you type your BlackBerry® device password
incorrectly five times, you must type blackberry before
you can continue. The next time that you type your
password, and on subsequent password attempts, the
characters that you type are displayed.
If you type your device password incorrectly ten times,
all information is erased from your device for security
reasons.
If your device is integrated with an account that uses
