14.7 Protecting 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 password
On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Security > Phone lock.
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 If your phone is configured to connect to a network, use an alphanumeric password for increased security.
4. Enter the password in both the Password and Confirm boxes.
5. 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.
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.
• If you forget your password, you can hard reset or clear the phone’s memory. For more information about hard
resetting the phone and clearing the memory, see “Resetting Your Phone”.
Encrypting files on your storage card
You can set your phone to encrypt files as they are saved on the storage card.
On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Security > Encryption.
Select Encrypt files when placed on a storage card.
Notes • 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.
Important 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.
