Desktop Manager Password

I just installed Desktop manager on my PC and when I hook my phone up to the PC, it says "Device Password Required".  I have entered the password i have on my phone twice, and apparently that's not what it's looking for.  I have 3/10 attempts left.  Can anyone help?

Re: Desktop Manager Password

It should be the device password.

 

What device do you have?

 

Is it anything to do with a sure type keypad?

I have an unlocked curve 8320 with OS 4.5.  I have tried the device password twice and it's not working.

Re: Desktop Manager Password

So if you go to

 

Options -> Security Options ->  General Settings click the menu button and select change password from the menu. Can you change it to something else and try again?

Re: Desktop Manager Password

hi all,

 

When i connected my BB to my laptop, i faced the same password problem with Desktop manager first but in setting of my Black berry phone i disabled password and then reconnected it to the laptop. This time it did not ask for any password. Try it

Re: Desktop Manager Password

Hello!

 

If the password for your device has numbers in it, type in the corresponding letters on your computer. For e.g. if you have an 8520, No. 6 - type "f" on your computer; No. 4 - type "s" on your computer and so forth. This worked for me.

Re: Desktop Manager Password

Hi

 

I won BB torch 9800 and I have password on my mobile

I downloaded the desktop software to back up, and when connecting my mobile to my lap top ( Vaio ) the desktop SW asked me to enter my password and I entered my password at my mobile keyboard but I got incorrect password

I have read some answers in this site that I should enter the corresponding letters to my numeric password

I did entered it but using another lap top ( MAC ) with desktop software

now I have made 8 unsuccessful trials and left with 2

Please guide how to solve it

 

Thanks in advance
