If you forget your BlackBerry smartphone password, it can't be recovered. You can reset your password without knowing
your current password by deleting all your smartphone data.
Research In Motion recommends that you regularly create and save a backup file on your computer, especially before you
update any software. Maintaining a current backup file on your computer might allow you to recover smartphone data if
your smartphone is lost, stolen, or corrupted by an unforeseen issue.
