Options > Security > General Settings. Disable the password there.

 

If there is a small lock icon located there, it means you have an IT Policy on the device requiring a password, which is likely left over from the previous corporate owner of the device.

 

See the RIM Knowledge Base article here for information on how to remove an IT Policy. See the Method Three in the link:

I am having the same issue as the person you posted this for and I also got mie from eBay. My issue is I have a Mac. I tried installing the desktop manager which they have for Mac but then I ran into the "enter your password for the USB device" which  seems to be an IT Policy issue. I am having oe issue after another on this eBAY BB. I can also only receive SMS and do ot have the option to create an SMS but that is an entirely different thing!
