Locking your smartphone
To protect your personal information, you can lock your smartphone, so
that you need to enter your password to access any of your information
or use any of the features on your smartphone, including the phone.
You can, however, still make emergency calls 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
