Would you like to remove all your personal data along with the IT policy from your Blackberry smartphone and reset it to factory defaults?
Please check the guideline about these two possibilities.
First option is "Reset to Factory" which is a command of Loader.exe and it wipes the data and deletes any IT policies on your BlackBerry smartphone.
This command can only be used in case of direct USB connection between the phone and your PC.

Just like in case of the first step, please be note that if you restore your BlackBerry device running BlackBerry 10 OS 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 being deleted. After you restored your device to its default settings, you can run the setup application on your device to set up the device again.
To restore your BlackBerry smartphone running BlackBerry Device Software 5.0 or later to its default settings, you must use the BlackBerry Desktop Software. Or you can delete all of your device data using your smartphone. For more information about how to delete your device data, click the Help icon on the home screen of your smartphone.
Before you restore your device to its default settings and delete the data from your device, Research In Motion recommends that you back up your data so that you have a copy on your computer.
Note: 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.
Tip: To restore your device to its default settings, you can also click the arrow beside your device at the bottom of your screen. Click Restore.

As a first line of defense, your data is protected by security systems specialized in preventing hacking attacks, but our other self-developed security solutions and our ever-running monitoring systems enable us to declare with great certainty that we do everything to prevent unauthorized users from acquiring any sensitive data.
In case of a potential unauthorized physical access to any of our servers, the data stored there is useless, as our storage media are protected by sector-level AES encryption.
All passwords we store are unknown to us as well, since only the passwords’ hash values are stored, randomized with “salt”. This minimizes the risk of any leakage of actual user passwords in case of a potential database leak.
