Unlock your device with a network unlock code
To obtain the unlock codes for your BlackBerry device, contact your service provider.
Your device might be network locked which allows your device to make a mobile network connection with only your current
service provider. If you plan to travel internationally and you want to use a SIM card from another service provider, you
might need to enter an unlock code.
Tip: To see the current service provider associated with your device, on the home screen, swipe down from the top of the
screen. Tap Settings > About. In the Category drop-down list, tap SIM Card.

CAUTION: For security reasons, each unlock code can only be entered incorrectly 10 times. If you exceed the number of
allowed attempts to enter an unlock code, your SIM card will allow emergency calls only. For assistance, contact your
service provider.
Change or remove your device password
CAUTION: If you can't remember the password for your BlackBerry device, the only way to change your password or regain
access to your device is to delete all of your data by completing a security wipe.
If BlackBerry Balance technology is set up on your device, depending on the rules set by your administrator, you might not
be able to remove the password for your device.
