To set a phone password

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.

If the phone is idle for the timeout period that you set, you will need to enter your password to unlock your phone. If you used a simple PIN password, the Lock screen will be displayed before you enter your password. For information, see “Using the Lock Screen” in Chapter 1.

Notes • To ensure that you can always make emergency calls, do not begin your password with the digits of your local emergency number.

If you entered a hint, the hint will be displayed after the wrong password is entered five times.

If you forget your password, you can hard reset or clear the phone memory. For more information about hard resetting the phone and clearing the memory, see “Resetting Your Phone”.
