How do I reset my device password if I forget it?

Your BlackBerry device password can't be recovered or changed if you don't enter your current password correctly. For security reasons, the only way that you can reset your password without knowing your current password is to delete all of your device data. You can do this by entering an incorrect device password multiple times.

BlackBerry recommends that you regularly create and save a backup file on your computer.

What content is in my work space and my personal space?

If your administrator turns on BlackBerry Balance technology, the device data, apps, and network access are separated so that you have a work space and a personal space.

Open work apps appear with a icon on the home screen.

Depending on the rules set by your administrator, some apps and features might be available in your work space, personal space, or both. The table below describes the default behavior for most apps.
