HTC FUZE Manuel D’Utilisation

Managing Your Device  9

You can help keep your data more secure by requiring a password every time the 

device is turned on.

On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings.

On the Personal tab, tap Lock.

Select the Prompt if device unused for check box, then specify the idle time 

before the device requires a password.

In the Password type box, select the type of password you would like to use.

Tip 

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

password for increased security.

Enter the password in both the Password and Confirm boxes.

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

your password.

Notes 

•  To ensure that you can always make emergency calls, do not begin your password 

with the digits of your local emergency number.

•  If you entered a hint, the hint will be displayed after the wrong password is entered 

five times.

•  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 can hard reset or clear the device memory. Before 

you do this, make sure you back up your data and files so that you can restore 

them back to your device. For more information about hard resetting the device 

and clearing the memory, see “Resetting Your Device” in this chapter.
