• 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.

Encrypting files on your storage card

You can set your phone to encrypt files as they are saved on the
storage card.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap
Security > Encryption.
. Select Encrypt files when placed on a storage card.
• Encrypted files can only be read on the phone that encrypted them.
• Encrypted files are opened just like other files, provided you are
using the phone that encrypted them. There is no separate step for
you to take to read these files.
If Encrypt files when placed on a storage card is enabled, back up all
files from the storage card before performing a factory reset (Clear
Storage or hard reset) or updating the operating system. Otherwise,
you will no longer be able to access the encrypted files on the storage
card. Use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center to transfer
files between your storage card and computer. After the procedure,
copy your files back to the storage card.
