1.) Changed PIN yesterday, worked fine all day yesterday

2.) Today the phone asks for a password not a PIN

3.) I try my formerly working PIN and it does not work

4.) I already disabled the "autolockout after x amout of tries" feature a month ago, so I am up to 33 tries now

5.) I can get into the Blackberry Bootloader Menu just fine by using the Volume Down + Power key

6.) When I select #3 , Reboot Into Fastmode, screen turns black, phone vibrates real quick like it does when I turn it on, the Blackberry main loading screen comes on for a split second and then goes back into Bootloader menu

7.) About 9 bug reports have been spontaneously generated on their own

8.) Am worried I have malware on my phone which is why I'm stuck in the Bootloader Menu

9.) I can get into the recovery screen but only for a split second before it loads the lock screen and resets the time for password attempt

----Anyone got any ideas for how to force a factory reset on the BB Key2?

The bootloader screen IS fastboot mode.

Just run a wipe autoloader from there.
