Protecting your phone with a password

You can help keep your data more secure by requiring a password every time the phone is turned on.

To set a password

1.Tap Start > Settings > All Settings > Lock.

2.Select the Prompt if phone unused for check box, and then specify the idle time before the phone requires a password. If you choose 0 Minutes, you will need to input the password every time you wake the phone up from Sleep mode. For more information, see “Switching to Sleep mode” in Chapter 1.

3.In the Password type box, select the type of password you would like to use.

Tip If your phone is configured to connect to a network, use an alphanumeric password for increased security.
