Lock your work space
If your BlackBerry device uses BlackBerry Balance technology to separate your work and personal
activity, you can lock your work space and continue to access personal files, personal apps, and
personal data in the personal space on your device.
You might be able to use the same password for your work space password and your device password,
depending on the rules set by your administrator.
