I HAVE BEEN USING THE USB 760 FOR INTERNET ACCESS (ON MY LAPTOP) THROUGH VERIZON ACCESS MANAGER....NOW HAVE BOUGHT THE BB BOLD 9650 AND WOULD LIKE TO CONNECT MY LAPTOP TO INTERNET THROUGH THE BB DEVICE.  SINCE I ALREADY HAD VZ ACCESS MANAGER CAN I USE IT ?????

 

ALSO WHEN I JUST PLUG BB INTO LAPTOP VIA USB CABLE IT ASKS FOR PASSWORD TO GRANT ACCESS .  I'VE TRIED EVERY PASSWORD THAT I THOUGHT I HAD FOR THIS DEVICE BUT "NO ACCESS GRANTED" NOW UP TO 6 OF 10 !!  HELP

 

ANY HELP FOR THIS NOVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!
