242 Managing Your Device Protecting your device with a password You can help keep your data more secure by requiring a password every time the device is turned on. To set a device password 1. Tap Start > Settings, and then tap All Settings. 2. On the Personal tab, tap Lock. 3. Select the Prompt if device unused for check box, then specify the idle time before the device requires a password. 4. In the Password type box, select the type of password you would like to use. Tip If your device is configured to connect to a network, use an alphanumeric password for increased security. 5. Enter the password in both the Password and Confirm boxes. 6. Tap OK. The next time the device is turned on, you will be prompted to enter your password. Notes • 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. • Each time a wrong password is entered, the device response time gets longer until the device appears to be not responding. • If you forget your password, you can hard reset or clear the device memory. For more information about hard resetting the device and clearing the memory, see "Resetting Your Device".
