I just bought an 8300 online and I entered my SIM which is Rogers just as the phone is. It seems the seller has an unlock code/password set on the phone and I am having trouble contacting them to find it out,

Is there any way to enter a default code or reset the phone in order to begin use with my rogers sim??

Enter a password 10 times (incorrectly) and the BB will reset.

its not the actual sim that's locked though, i'm guessing its a phone lock?

the guy's ebay account is not valid anymore

You can try removing the IT Policy off the device...

Like the others said if you enter the password, wrong, 10 times, it will wipe the device. I would wipe any device beofre I used it just to bring it back to out of the box factory condition.
