After 10 incorrect password entries, the Blackberry "clears all user data", according to the manual.

Question: Does this mean that control of the Blackberry reverts to a "before password protection was implemented" status? In other words, does this mean that the Blackberry is effectively empty, and can be re-loaded with apps, and data, and a new password can be entered again to provide security for the next user?

Facts appreciated. Opinions not. If you don't know, please don't guess.

Thanks all.

you are asked for a new password which u now know and in the "settings" - "applications" you go to "security" and either "disable" or "change" your password.

Choice is yours from there.

Hope it explains your question.
