Locking your smartphone
To protect your personal information, you
can lock your smartphone so that you need
to enter your password to access any of
your information or to use any of the
features on your smartphone, including the
phone. You can, however, still make
emergency calls when your smartphone is
locked.
IMPORTANT If you lock your smartphone,
you must enter the exact password to
unlock it. If you forget the password, you
need to perform a hard reset to resume
using your smartphone. Performing a hard
reset while your smartphone is locked by a
password deletes all the entries in your
smartphone and completely reformats it. If
you use password protection in
Palm Desktop software, you must
remember your password to restore your
info. However, if you do not use password
protection in Palm Desktop software, you
can restore all previously synchronized info
the next time you sync (see Synchronizing
information—the basics).
1Press Applications and select
Security .
2Select the Password box.
