Setting Up Your Device 53

4.4 Protecting Your Device

Protect your device with a password

You can prevent unauthorized access to your device by using password protection. To keep your data more

secure, you can set your device to prompt for a password every time the device is turned on or when your

device has been idle after a specified amount of time.

To set a device password

1. Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > Lock.

2. Select the Prompt if device unused for check box, and in the box to the right, select how long your

devic

e must be idle before a password is required. In the Password type box, select the type of

password you would like to use. Enter the password and, if necessary, conﬁrm the password.

If your device is conﬁgured to connect to a network, use an alphanumeric password for increased

security for your device.

3. On the Hint tab, enter a phrase that will help you remember your password, but does not allow others

to guess your password.

The hint will be displayed after the wrong password is entered four times.

4. Tap OK. The next time the device is turned on, you will be prompted to enter your password.

Notes • 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 must follow the instructions in this user manual to clear the memory before

you can access your device.

To change your password

1. Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > Lock. You will be prompted to enter your current password.

2. In the Password box, enter your new password. Enter it again in the Conﬁrm box.

3. T

ap OK.

Encrypt files on your storage card

You can set your device to encrypt files as they are saved on the storage card.

1. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Encryption.

2. Select Encrypt files placed on storage cards.

Note Encrypted files are opened just like other files, provided you are using the device that encrypted them. There is

no separate step for you to take to read these files.

Important If Encrypt files on your storage cards is or was enabled before, then backup all files from the storage card

before using Clear Storage, hard reset or updating the ROM system software. 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.
