Locking your smartphone
To protect your personal information, you
can lock your smartphone. When your
smartphone is locked, you need to enter
your password to access any of your
information or to use any of the features on
your smartphone, including the phone. You
can still make emergency calls, however,
when your smartphone is locked.
IMPORTANT If you lock your smartphone,
you must enter the exact password to
unlock it. 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 S
ynchronizing information—
the basics).
TIP
If you want to lock your phone once in a
while, use the Immediately option to lock your
phone on demand.
