I don't believe you on the BlackBerry issue, but fr windows OS, Na today?
If a passcode is present, an attacker would have to employ a chip-off or a JTAG process to dump the BlackBerry’s flash memory. Both of these methods require specialized equipment and expertise, but JTAG equipment is by far less expensive. There is software to analyze chip-off and JTAG dumps which I doubt you have access to.
Cellebrite?

 adb reboot recovery 

if USB debugging is turned on,if it isn't there are physical methods to boot into recovery.

Android 5 is outdated.
M preview is the in thing.

Karmanaut:

If you’re unfamiliar with the term, rooting simply refers to the act of obtaining access to commands, system files and folder locations that are usually locked off from the user.
Rooting could be thought of moving from a user to administrator, with the additional freedom and risks that come from more control over the deeper workings of your device.

Once you root your device you gain access to the system and you can change almost everything, from the boot logo, to the start up tone, to ye recovery, you can even flash a different software, eg use Sony Xperia software and apps on a Samsung or techno device.

That you have superior access also means anyone in physical possession of your phone can have superior access too, and your privacy and security can be easily compromised.
Eg. you can bypass a person's lock screen if his phone is rooted, which makes it easier to steal, you can also read WhatsApp messages directly without access to the WhatsApp application itself: the messages are stored in an SQL database in the root folder. A person can also access credit card information, which is why most banking apps don't work if your phone us routed.

this shouldn't be a 2015 question.. Google is everybody's friend

Well... Someone just confirmed what i was saying.
Am surprised u said uv been using Android 5 for almost a year and u're yet to discovery the security upgrades embedded in the OS. Wow!!!
Giv me ur Android 5 device and watch me lock it permanently, No recovery, no flash, nothing can unlock it except the owner's security details just like Icloud.
Besides, it takes me almost 3days to unlock icloud locked devices, some like the Iphone 6 are yet to be unlockable.
And now, finger print security will be officially incoporated into Android 6, and with all chips running on 64bit architecture, security would be much more tighter.
Technology is an epic tale. Its developing and getter stronger and most importantly interesting as days roll out.

The OP wrote:
Blackberry CEO John Chen Do Not Know How To Use The New Blackberry Priv
The bolded should be "does not"
A verb always agrees with its tense; this is the rule of concord.
If you use a plural noun or pronoun, you must complement it with a plural verb, and vice versa.
English is a weird language:
Its singular verbs end in 's' most of the time, while its plural nouns end in 's' usually.
And if you use a singular noun, you must follow up with a singular verb.
Eg:
Walk is a plural verb, while Walks is the singular verb.
Meanwhile "boys" is a plural noun while "boy" is a singular noun.
Making a sentence using this example it should be : "(The) boys walk" - plural verb and noun, or "(The) boy walks" - singular verb and noun.
For the case of the op, "does" is a singular verb (it ends with an 's') while "do" is the plural verb (no 's') and the CEO is a single person so it should be: "The CEO does not..."
Hope you understand, if indeed this was what you needed clarification on.
Cheers.

Karmanaut:
"...does not know" instead of "do not know"

Ait, Thanks.

Are you in Lag? If yes, then it'll be much more easier to get across to u. nevertheless, if u're outside Lagos, u can still ship them over to Lag. And I'll ship 'em back to u after repair.
What model of Iphone devices do u intend to repair?
