go into ur phone settings,

security settings, phone

and sim.

Scroll down to lock code.

To change the code to ur

own, select it, and it will ask for the default lock

code which is 12345. Once

confirmed, it will ask u for

ur new code which can be

4 or 5 digits. Pick

something u wont forget. Then it will ask u to

confirm it.

Done.

Now if ur phone has an

autolock feature, u can set

it by selecting it and selecting user defined and

set a time, like 10 or 15

minutes, up to u. Ur phone

will lock after that set

time of inactivity. U will

still be able to take calls, but need to put the code

in to do anything else.

Code will be requested

each time u turn ur phone

on.

Depending on ur nokia, u may have remote lock

feature. With this, u set a

password, and if ur phone

is stolen and ur worried

that it hasnt autolocked, u

can send that password to ur phone from any other

phone by sms and it locks

it.

U may also have the

feature to have the phone

lock if the simcard is changed and u can enable

that too.

Finally, u have pin lock.

This locks ur sim card,

even if a theif takes it out

and puts it in another phone, the code will be

required to use ur sim.

To change the pin code, its

the same as the lock code

change, but the default

code u need to put in first is different. Its usually

00000 but if that doesnt

work, select cancel, and

call ur service provider,

they will give u their sim

pin default code, and after uv done that, select pin

request on, and it will ask

for a code every time u

turn ur phone on.

Its a good idea to make ur

pin and lock code the same so u just enter them

consecutively on start up.

Hope that wasnt

confusing!

Just to add, ovi store has many apps if u just want to password protect or hide certain sections, folders and galleries of ur phone.
