5.5 Protecting Your PPC-6700
You can prevent unauthorized access to any part of the device by
using password protection. You create your own password when
you begin using your PPC-6700.
To protect your device with a password:
You can help keep your data more secure by requiring a
password every time the device is turned on.
1. Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > Password.
2. Select the Prompt if device unused for check box, and in
the box to the right, select how long your device must be
turned off 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 a strong password to help protect
network security.
3. On the Hint tab, enter a phrase that will help you
remember your password, but doesn’t allow others to
guess your password. The hint will be displayed after an
incorrect 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 an incorrect password is entered, the time the
device takes to respond will get longer and longer until the
device appears to be not responding.
If you forget your password and cannot access your device
anymore, please contact your local authorized dealer to
clear memory.
