NOTE:
When a BlackBerry device is removed from the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, IT Policies are not removed from the device, even if you wipe the device. This is a security feature and by design. Only the IT/BES Administrator can remove IT Policies.
For more information on IT Policies that cannot be removed from the handheld RIM Technical Knowledge Center: KB-04750.
If security lock is enabled and the password is entered incorrectly 10 times, a master reset will occur.
