Thread: The RED Locker...needs to go away.

I don't remember how i put it on there. it is to the left of the password "enable" I can not disable the pw now. I know the password. but what if i want it disabled now. It's almost as if in just a "user" on my bb. not admin. lol

Does anyone know how to remove it? I have searched far and high.

Could you give me some more informatin? In what program are you seeing this?

Did you purchase this phone from someone elese. This normally means that an IT policy has been set on the phone.

options > password > top line is enable/disable....is this what you mean?

or is it locked and you can't get in?

I am stepping out to the GYM, will you finish helping here?

If it is an IT problem they can follow these directions.

Procedure

Step 1 Ensure the Blackberry Desktop Manager is installed using Blackberry Internet Service, and not Blackberry Enterprise Server. If you are unsure, it would probably be a good idea to uninstall the Desktop Manager and start again.

If you don't have the CD that came with your Blackberry, the Software can be downloaded here.

Step 2 Download the file policy.bin and save it in your Blackberry installation directory (C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry).
Step 3 Wipe your Blackberry, creating a backup if necessary. Select Options/Security/Wipe on the Device.

If this option is unavailable, you may have to install the latest software on your Blackberry. You need to Download and install the latest Desktop Manger Software, then the latest Handheld Software. Connect your device, open the Desktop Manager, select Application Loader, and follow the prompts.

Step 4 Close the Desktop Manager if it is open.
Step 5 From the Windows Start Menu select Run..., and at the prompt type regedit. In the tree on the left hand side, navigate to:

HKEY_Current_Users\Software\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\PolicyManager

Right-Click the Policy Manager Folder and select New/String Value. Name the value Path. Now, Double-Click the Path Subkey and set Value Data to:

C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\policy.bin
Step 6 Open the Desktop Manager.
Step 7 Connect the Device.

Verification
Once complete, the Options/Security screen on your Blackberry should not contain references to an IT Policy, you should now be able to change all settings (including password prompts), and install Third Party Applications.

These directions are from navi @ CB.

That is exactly what i mean. I had to be the one that did this. But don't really know how to disable it. I want a password, but i dont want the entire phone protected by a pw. only certain apps.

oooh I see what your saying. I could be wrong but I dont' think it's possible there might be a third party app that could do that

Hmm. I wish it had some kinda "sys restore" i could go to yesterday and it'd be ok. I'll figure it out eventually.

I don't think you can lock certain apps or parts of the phone sadly.
