    This seems like a stupid question, but I see that I can enable or disable my password. I would love to enable a password, but how do I SET the password? I'm afraid to set it to enable without having set a password! Thanks!

    Menu -> Options -> Security -> General Settings-> Change the password option to Enable, And once you hit SAVE it'll prompt you to add a new password.

    Ahh, ok! Thank you Cindy! I was so worried that I'd enable the password and then not know what the password was. Thanks again!

    Just be sure you don't forget it! From what I understand there is no way to retrieve it. You would need to wipe the phone clean, reinstall the OS, and start from scratch.

    And this should be a weekly chore: Back-up your phone's data using the desktop manager.

    You are very welcome. Also remember to do a back up just in case you forget it, like Member No 1 said there is no way to retrieve it.

    nope i don't think so, it's just the password to get in if the phone is locked...
