I’m just in the process of clearing out various odds and sods, including a Blackberry Curve that has been made redundant by my shiny new iPhone 3G.
Before shipping it off once it has been eBayed, I wanted to make sure that it had been completely wiped and reset to factory defaults, but couldn’t work out how.
Google to the rescue.
Google pointed me in the direction of a post on Lockergnome by Greg Hughes that advised exactly how to do this.
Go through the following menus to “nuke” your Blackberry:
- Options menu
- Security Options
- General Settings
- Menu
- Wipe handheld
- Enter password (”Blackberry” or your business-assigned security password)
It takes a couple of minutes, but afterwards, you should have a completely wiped Blackberry.
