    I know there is the "standard" lock feature on my BB. But, what I want to know, is there some way to lock the phone with a password or something that will keep my nosey roommate out of my phone?

    Thanks!

    Go to Options, Security Options, General Settings, Password - Select Enabled, then assign the password of your choice.

    Keep in mind that 10 failed attempts at entering the password will wipe all data from the BB, so do frequent backups and you'll be fine.

    And keep your BB with you at all times. LOL

    Yes. To set up a password go to options > security options > general settings and set it up there. You can also set it when you want it to take effect ie. 10mins up to 1 hour.

    Password keeper locks the phone?

    Try options- security-general settings- enable password- set lock out time

    And at say 30 minutes of idle you'll need a password to get back into the phone

    It's a security feature and it works very well. Back up your device often, and even if it gets wiped a simple Restore will have it back to normal in no time.

    NOTHING gets by you guys! Yes, it's a Boyfriend of about 5 1/2 years. We have some pics and other stuff on there that he doesn't need to be showing to his guy friends hehe!

    Besides, my content is way to cool to be hi-jacked to his old raggedy RAZR!

    Nothing compares to my BB!

    Thanks,

    LOL yeah password lock it. But like they said, keep it backed up in case he tries 10 times and wipes everything out.
    Btw, where in north MS are you from? I'm from there as well.

    I'm about 20 minutes from Collierville down Hwy 72.

    Nice 4 acres in the country without the hassles of living in Memphis. But, still close enough to everything when I want to be.

    I was guessing you might be in Southaven?
