Resetting Blackberry - how it works

If you encounter problems while using your Blackberry or if you want to sell the phone, it is necessary to reset it to factory settings. How to do this and how to create a backup before performing the reset, we show you here.

How to create a backup of your Blackberry

If your Blackberry does not work properly anymore, the factory reset is the last option to fix the occurring problems. However, since this will delete all data and settings from the device, it is recommended to create a backup of your Blackberry beforehand. To do this, you need the free Blackberry Link software and connect the device to a computer via USB cable. Once you have done this, please open the program and navigate in it to "Backup & Restore" > "Back up device" to create a new backup.

With this procedure you reset your Blackberry

Once you have created a backup of your Blackberry, you can proceed in the next step to reset your phone.

1. To do this, first go to the home page of the Blackberry and open the "Settings".
2. Navigate to the "Security" category in the settings and select the "Security Wipe" option.
3. Now select all the content you want to back up and enter "blackberry" on the keyboard before you start the reset by tapping "Wipe Data".
4. Once the Blackberry has been reset to factory defaults, please reboot the device and restore the backup you made earlier.
