Protecting your phone with a password

You can help keep your data more secure by requiring a password
every time the phone is turned on.
To set a password
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap
Security > Phone lock.
2. Select the Prompt if phone unused for check box, and then
specify the idle time before the phone requires a password. If you
choose 0 Minutes, you will need to input the password every time
you wake the phone up from Sleep mode. For more information,
see "Switching to Sleep mode" in Chapter 1.
. In the Password type box, select the type of password you would
like to use.
Tip
. Enter the password in both the Password and Confirm boxes.
. Tap OK.
If your phone is idle for the timeout period that you set, you will need
to enter your password to unlock your phone. If you used a simple
PIN password, the Lock screen will be displayed before you enter your
password. For information, see "Lock Screen" in Chapter 1.
If your phone is configured to connect to a network, use an
alphanumeric password for increased security.
