Set a smartphone password
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.

Maintaining a current back-up file on your computer might allow you to recover smartphone data if your smartphone is lost, stolen or corrupted by an unforeseen issue.
