Phone Lock

Activates/deactivates or changes the phone's startup password. The startup password prevents unauthorized persons from using your phone. Once the phone's password is activated, the phone will be locked down when it is turned on unless this password is correctly entered. If an incorrect password is entered, your phone will remain locked down, and cannot be unlocked even if the SIM card is replaced by another one. When the phone is locked, you will only be able to make emergency calls.

Once the phone password is activated, you must enter the password each time the phone is turned on in order to unlock the phone (there is no limit on the number of attempts to enter the phone password).

The procedure for setting the phone password is the same as for the PIN Code (the default phone password is 1234).
