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. However, you can restore all
previously synchronized info the next time
you sync (see Synchronizing information
).
