Hi, To remove an I.T Policy from a device all you need is a PC running Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.6 or above. Then from the command prompt go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and run "Loader.exe /RESETTOFACTORY". This command will wipe the device and remove the I.T Policy.
Also I saw a few topics discussing hidden commands so I thought other admins would be interested in the list we have put together on my forum: http://www.blackberryforums.com.au/forums/blackberry-general-discussion/2915 -hidden-menus.html Thanks, Gary Cutri BlackBerry Forums - Asia Pacific www.blackberryforums.com.au -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Saturday, 13 February 2010 6:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Bes-Admins Digest, Vol 25, Issue 48 Send Bes-Admins mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.dataoutages.com/mailman/listinfo/bes-admins or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Bes-Admins digest..."

If you are unsure, it would probably be a good idea to uninstall the Desktop Manager and start again. If you don't have the CD that came with your Blackberry, the Software can be downloaded here. BlackBerry Software Site Step 2 Download the file policy.bin Download Here. and save it in your Blackberry installation directory (C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry). Step 3 Wipe your Blackberry, creating a backup if necessary. Select Options/Security/Wipe (Newer 4.2 OS Devices Goto Options/Security Options/General Settings/Wipe) on the Device. If this option is unavailable, you may have to install the latest software on your Blackberry. You need to Download and install the latest Desktop Manger Software, then the latest Handheld Software. Connect your device, open the Desktop Manager, select Application Loader, and follow the prompts. Step 4 Close the Desktop Manager if it is open. Step 5 >From the Windows Start Menu select Run..., and at the prompt type regedit. In the tree on the left hand side, navigate to: HKEY_Current_Users\Software\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\PolicyManager Right-Click the Policy Manager Folder and select New/String Value. Name the value Path. Now, Double-Click the Path Subkey and set Value Data to: C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\policy.bin Step 6 Open the Desktop Manager. Step 7 Connect the Device. Verification Once complete, the Options/Security screen on your Blackberry should not contain references to an IT Policy, you should now be able to change all settings (including password prompts), and install Third Party Applications.
