    Security wipe. You can completely reinstall and update the OS if you wish.

    If its a BB that was attached to a corporate network then you should also remove the IT Policy if one was pushed to the device, a security wipe does not get rid of the policy.

    Either the corporate bb server can push a blank policy or you can do it yourself using bb desktop software with -resettofactory command.

    Does the Desktop software have such a command now?

    I use JL_Cmder to remove IT Policy when necessary.

    Yeh the new versions do (its hidden in the right hand corner under support tools), I tend to use javaloader -resettofactory as I hate the BB desktop software with a passion
