4.5 Protecting Your Device
You can prevent unauthorized access to any part of the device by
using password protection.
To protect your device with a password
You can help keep your data more secure by requiring a password
every time the device is turned on.
1.
Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > Password.
2.
Select the Prompt if device unused for check box, and in the
box to the right, select how long your device must be turned off
before a password is required. In the Password type box, select
the type of password you would like to use. Enter the password
and, if necessary, confirm the password.
If your device is configured to connect to a network, use a strong
password to help protect network security.
3.
On the Hint tab, enter a phrase that will help you remember your
password, but doesn't allow others to guess your password.
The hint will be displayed after the wrong password is entered
four times.
4.
Tap OK.
The next time the device is turned on, you will be prompted to
enter your password.

Managing Your Pocket PC
Each time a wrong password is entered, the time the device takes to
respond will get longer and longer until the device appears to be not
responding.
If you forget your password, you must follow the instructions in your
owner's manual to clear memory before you can access your device.
