This takes you to another screen, follow these steps on this screen:
- Click the option for "Password:", it is automatically disabled. Click it.

- A screen will appear, enter your password. If no screen appears, you may have already set a password for another application, (Password Keeper etc.) that is your default password.
- Set your number of password attempts. This is how many times you can guess your password before your phone is wiped/blanked of all it's memory. Use with caution.
- Security Timeout means if you are not active on your phone for a certain period of time, it will automatically "Keyboard Lock" and you will have to enter your password.
- Select yes or no for "Prompt on Application Install".

Finish up. You have now set your password!
Warnings
- Make the password easy to remember, if you forget it, everything in your phone will be wiped, including addresses!
- Just because your phone gets wiped, doesn't mean it can't get stolen.
