Passwords and locking in Blackberry Z30 Boeing

Passwords and locking in Blackberry Z30 Boeing

Passwords and locking

There are several types of locks, PINs, and passwords that you can use to help to protect your BlackBerry device.
If you use your device for work, your organization might already have security settings in place, such as requiring a password to unlock your device.

BlackBerry ID

A BlackBerry ID is an email address and password that gives you access to BlackBerry websites, apps, and services. If you change your BlackBerry device, a BlackBerry ID helps you to transfer data to your new device. Make sure that you use the same BlackBerry ID for all of your BlackBerry devices.

Log in with your BlackBerry ID to do the following and much more:
  • Keep track of your app purchases and payment options from the BlackBerry World storefront.
  • Make the most of BBM features, such as backing up and moving BBM contacts to a new BlackBerry device.
  • Start and stop BlackBerry Protect.

Password locking and screen locking

While your device is locked, you can still receive notifications of new email and text messages, make an emergency phone call, view your battery charge level, set an alarm, or take a picture.
To conserve battery power and avoid accidental key presses, lock the screen. To help to avoid unauthorized use of your device, you need to set a device password.
In your display and security settings, you can set your device to lock itself after a certain amount of inactivity. You can also write a custom message that displays on the locked screen.
If you forget your password, it can't be recovered. BlackBerry recommends that you back up your data regularly. By default, for security reasons your device data is deleted when an incorrect password is entered ten times.

Change or remove your device password

CAUTION:
If you can't remember your password, the only way to change your password or regain access to your BlackBerry device is to delete all of your data by completing a security wipe.   

1. On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen.
2. Tap Settings > Security and Privacy > Device Password > Change Password.

To stop using a password, set the Device Password switch to Off.


Change your work space password

  1. On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen.
  2. Tap Balance > Change Password.
  3. To unlock your work space and BlackBerry device using the same password, set the Use as my device password switch to On.
Take care to remember your work space password, as it can't be reset or recovered. When you exceed the number of allowed attempts to enter your work space password, your work space and all of its contents are deleted.
