About the handheld password
If you type your handheld password incorrectly
five times, you must type blackberry before you
can continue. On subsequent password attempts,
the characters that you type are displayed.
If you type your handheld password ten times
incorrectly, all information is erased from your
handheld for security reasons.
If your handheld is integrated with an email
account using a BlackBerry Enterprise Server,
some security settings might differ. For more
information, contact your system administrator.
