According to a press release by Elcomsoft Co. Ltd. on 9/29/2011, their Phone Password Breaker software may be able to recover your blackberry password.

Blackberry normally only allows ten tries before wiping data. ElcomSoft exploits a user-selectable "Security Password" option to encrypt media card data. This encrypts the media card in the blackberry using the same password as the phone. The software may then bypass the blackberry operating system and directly use a brute force attack against the memory card instead of the phone. According to Elcomsoft, a typical 7 character password can be cracked in less than an hour.

According to the elcomsoft website , the password recovery tool also works on Apple iOS platforms including iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices of all generations released to date, including the latest iPhone 4 and iOS 4.3.

North American Home users may purchase the software for $79.00. A Professional license is $199.00
