Restore your device to its factory default settings using BlackBerry Link
If you restore your BlackBerry device to its default settings, BlackBerry Link deletes all of the data and third-party
applications from your device. Any IT policies that are applied to your device are also deleted. After you restore your device
to its default settings, you can run the setup application on your device to begin using the device again.
Before you begin, you should back up your data so that you have a copy on your computer.
CAUTION: You can't stop the process of restoring your device to its default settings after you start it. If you reset your
device, the process continues after the device restarts.
