7. Type in your new BlackBerry password and press the Enter button/key.
8. Type in your new BlackBerry password again and press Enter.
Note: If you've forgotten your current blackberry password, then the password can't be reset.
Though there's a way out.

Now you cant set your phone password to whatever password you wish.
