Hello,

I recently got the E71 and for the life of me I can't find a password lock setting. It could be that the E71 doesn't have one, but does anyone know if there's a way to change the lock settings so in order to unlock my keys I need to enter a password?

Thanks!

try this 

tools- general- security - phone and sim card 

[volivier]

I've tried going into there before but none of the options seem to give me the choice of setting a password... here are my options:

PIN code request

PIN code

PIN2 code

Keypad autolock period

Phone autolock period

Lock code

Allow remote lock

Closed user group

Confirm SIM services

I've tried lock code, but when I lock the keypad and unlock it a password request doesn't come up.

hi volivier,

you have tried the exact thing, but do try this too :

-please set a password at lock code.

-also set the phone auto lock period (say 1 min).

-now go to your home screen.

-wait for 1 min or press power button to see the option lock phone.

now try unlocking, your device should prompt for the lock code.

if this does not work out, please update ur firmware.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! This has been driving me insane since i got my phone.

For anyone else that is trying to figure this out, remember:

-If you have NOT already created a lock code, the original lock code is 1234

-Insert personal lock code

-Set autolock period (1 min or more)

-Change keylock period to NONE.

Thanks again, Vijay!

if you haven't enabled remote locking, note that you have to enter the code before locking it using the power button way. Anyway, default code is 12345 not 1234

... and you also must not have enabled auto lock period

I'm sorry but the lock code is not working at all and I havnt ever changed it but what could it be?

As hat_sg just said, the default is 12345

If you've brought the handset 2nd hand I suggest doing a complete Factory Reset to restore the default code.
