Contact your network operator for more information and the PUK. Locking your smartphone To protect your personal information, you can lock the system so that you need to enter your password to access any of your information or use other features of your smartphone. IMPORTANT If you lock your system, you must enter the exact password to unlock it. If you enter an incorrect password, you are given another chance. Each time an incorrect password is entered, you are given progressively longer time periods between your chances to enter the password. If you forget the password, you need to perform a hard reset to resume using your smartphone. Performing a hard reset deletes all the entries in your smartphone and all applications you have added, such as third-party software. However, you can restore all previously synchronised info the next time you sync (see Synchronising information). 1 Press Home , and then press Start (left softkey). 2 Navigate to the My Settings content list and press All Settings (right softkey). 3 Select More, and then select Security. 4 Select Device Lock. 5 Check the Prompt if device unused for box to turn on the password feature. 6 Select the first field, and then select how long a period of inactivity must pass before your smartphone locks. 7 Select Password type, and then select a format for your password: Strong alphanumeric: A strong alphanumeric password must contain at least 7 characters and must contain a combination of letters, numerals, and punctuation.
