Using the system password lock

To protect your personal information, you can lock the system so that you need to enter your password to access any of your information or use other features of your smartphone.

IMPORTANT If you lock your system, you must enter the exact password to unlock it. If you enter an incorrect password, you are given another chance. Each time an incorrect password is entered, you are given progressively longer time periods between your chances to enter the password. If you forget the password, you need to perform a hard reset to resume using your smartphone. Performing a hard reset deletes all the entries in your smartphone. However, you can restore all previously synchronized info the next time you sync (see “Synchronizing contacts and other info” on page 23).
