Encrypt Files On Your Storage Card - HTC Touch User Manual

• If you forget your password, you can hard reset or clear the device
memory. Before you do this, make sure you back up your data and files
so that you can restore them back to your device. For more information
about hard resetting the device and clearing the memory, see Chapter 12.

Encrypt files on your storage card

You can set your device to encrypt files as they are saved on the storage
card.
1. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Encryption.
2. Select Encrypt files placed on storage cards.
Notes • Encrypted files can be read only on the device that encrypted them.
• Encrypted files are opened just like other files, provided you are using the
device that encrypted them. There is no separate step for you to take to
read these files.
Important If Encrypt files placed on storage cards is or was enabled before,
then back up all files from the storage card before using Clear Storage,
performing a hard reset, or updating the ROM system software.
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.
