Lock There are two kinds of security on your device. You can protect your phone from unauthorized use by
assigning a type of password called a PIN (personal identification number). Additionally, you can prevent
unauthorized access to any part of the device by using password protection.
Your first PIN will be given to you by your wireless service provider; you can change the PIN later.
