Screen locked with weird display? Here's how to fix

Over on the RIM section of the Howard Forums mobile phone site, Member jjct1 starts a thread about a common problem most of us have had. Including myself, less than two weeks ago.

I'm talking about a locked screen with weird looking readings.

"The screen that shows when my BlackBerry 7280 is locked has changed. It looks normal, but when I press any button, every item turns black(blue border turns to two black lines,etc), the date and time goes to large and bold (maybe the font changed)," writes jjct1 in a thread he's entitled "My Locked Screen Changed? How to change it back?" "The conection type gets wrapped down a line. What happened?
 
"If I unlock the Blackberry, everything (would go) back to normal," he notes. "How do I fix this?
 
Fellow HoFo Member martin_j001posts the correct answer.
 
"Try a hard reset or pulling the battery," he advises. "That may help, as it sounds like a software glitch of some kind."
