Setting Passwords
For maximum security, you can set three different kinds of
passwords on your C-Series. All passwords are set through the
Control Panel. The login password and password reminder are set
in the Passwords application. The administrator password is set in
the Flash Memory Manager application.
NOTE:
The passwords are not case-sensitive; however, any
punctuation used when setting the passwords must also be used
when subsequently entering the passwords in order for the
passwords to be recognized.
Setting the Login Password
To set your login password, follow these steps:
1. On your handheld device, tap
Start→Settings→Control
Panel
. Double-tap the
Password
icon.
2. In the
Password
box, type your login password (up to forty
characters). Asterisks will appear as you type.
3. Tap the
Check Password
box to verify the password and gain
access to the other password fields.
4. Enable the login password by checking the
Enable Power On
Security
box. This causes a password prompt to appear each
time you turn on the device.
5. Save your new settings by tapping
OK.
Your login password is now set. The login password screen will
appear each time your turn on your device, provided you have not
enabled the password delay feature. For more on this, see “Setting
the Password Delay Feature” at the end of this section.
