HTC Touch Manuel D’Utilisation

86  Setting Up Your Device

Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > Lock.

Select the Prompt if device unused for check box, and in the box to 

the right, select how long your device must be idle before a password 

is required.

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

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

alphanumeric password for increased security for your device.

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 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 Chapter 13.

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

card.

Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Encryption.

Select Encrypt files placed on storage cards.

Notes 

•  Encrypted files can be read only on the device that encrypted them.

•  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.
