Hi. I downloaded the BuddyGuard app to my blackberry phone a few days ago, but it never got “active” because after the installation, it appeared a message that said it could not be done because of some permissions, or something like that. The point was, it wasnt completed and it was never active.
Even though it wasnt completed, today I took the battery off from the blackberry, and when i putted it on, a message appeared saying:
“This phone has been reported as lost and has been remotely locked”
“UNLOCK”
(But when i writte my password, it says it is a wrong password. I´ve tried a thousand different possible passwords, and NOTHING. Dont know if it has something to do to the non-finished installation, or something like that)
PLEASE! I´M DESPERATED! any ideas on how can I recover my password? or solve this probelm?
THANKS
