FAQ: BlackBerry ID

How do I reset my lost or forgotten BlackBerry ID password?

You can have the instructions about resetting your BlackBerry ID password sent to the email address that you use as your BlackBerry ID username. For security reasons, your BlackBerry ID password can't be reset for you.

Do one of the following:

To reset your password on a computer, visit www.blackberry.com/blackberryid. Click Reset your password. Complete the instructions on the screen.

To reset your password on your BlackBerry device, when you are prompted to sign in with your BlackBerry ID, click Forgot Password. Answer your security question and complete the instructions on the screen.

Once you have completed the steps above, you will receive a password reset email. If you complete the steps to reset your password on a computer, the password reset email can only be viewed on a computer and isn't delivered to your device. If you follow the steps to reset your password on your device, the password reset email will be delivered to your device.

Complete the instructions in the email to reset your BlackBerry ID password.

What is the difference between my BlackBerry ID username and screen name?

Your BlackBerry ID username is the email address that you use when you log in using your BlackBerry ID. The BlackBerry ID screen name is the name that appears when you submit app reviews in the BlackBerry World storefront.

Why do I need to re-enter my BlackBerry ID password?

After a certain amount of time, if you aren't actively using the app or service that supports BlackBerry ID, you might be prompted to re-enter your password. For example, you might be prompted to re-enter your BlackBerry ID password before you download apps from the BlackBerry World storefront.

You might also be required to re-enter your BlackBerry ID if you change any of your BlackBerry ID information, delete all of the data on your BlackBerry device, or update the software on your device.

Can I sign out of BlackBerry ID and sign in with a different BlackBerry ID

You can only sign in with one BlackBerry ID on your BlackBerry device. If you want to sign out and then sign in with a different BlackBerry ID, you must delete all of the data from your device.
