There is no phone lock feature. But you can lock the simcard!!
since you already know about the screenlock, what more could you need a lock for???
Password Lock
so you want a password lock when you open your phone? Follow these steps:
Open Settings
Location and Security
Change screen lock
if you would like to put a password with words and numbers in it, select Password. If you want just 4 numbers as your password, select PIN.
Put in your password and then put it in a second time to confirm.
Well done! You now have a passworded phone
you just repeated what he said, because he said he knows about the screen lock. I'm still confused why he needs a bootup password in addition to a screen lock.

Hi,
I got new Samsung Omnia Pro4 (B7350)
WM 6.5.3
And my problem is that if you have password lock (even though you set at after certain hours), AND lock screen when device is woken up turn on, EACH time you press the lock button and slide button, you will be prompt for a password. VERY VERY annoying. If I remember in previous OS, you can unlock screen without password even though it is set after certain hours.
I use this password lock whit my BT watch, so if my phone is too far from the watch (lost or stolen) it would lock itsef.
But now it's allready locked when I press the screen off button off and on.
It's very annoying to tap password every time, cause the prompt time does not work.
(The watch program work only if the lock is enabled, and I have set the prompt time 2hours)
I just would like to "time to unused" work.
Any help or ideas?
elo,
have you managed to fix this problem?
It's very annoying :/ Previously I unlocked my phone only at simcard change and reboot.
Hi guys,
Used this site many times being able to search for the solutions to any questions I have had until now.
Looking to have a app/widget that with one touch, passcode locks the phone with a predetermined passcode. Then the next time the phone is unlocked, it won't be passcode locked unless I hit the passcode lock icon. I tend to passcode lock my phone a lot and know there has to be a one touch solution out there that basically only locks the phone one time per lock activation. Hate going through the settings menu each time and putting in the code to turn on passcode lock and then putting in the code to remove passcode lock.
Anyone know of any apps?
Thanks!!!
Hi there,
Recently went back to a S7 from a HTC M9 and wow what a difference and love this phone now. When setting up phone from new I set up a PIN and fingerprint screen lock. All was going well until I recently restarted it as had it turned off, now after a restart you have to re enter your PIN for fingerprint sensor to open it but unfortunately I was unable to remember my PIN ( silly bugger next time write PIN number down ). Eventually I opened it using Samsung Find My Mobile by using Lock My Mobile and using a new PIN phew what a relief as I didnt want to do a factory reset and then have to reload everything. Now I want to change my PIN to a new number ( already written down ) and when I go into Screen lock type in settings and it asks me under Confirm PIN to enter my PIN, I enter the PIN I used in Lock My Mobile to open phone it doesnt accept it and locked me out again for 5 minutes but after that time fingerprint sensor opened phone normally. Question is how do I reset a new number because if I have to restart /reboot phone for any reason I will be locked out again.
If you aren't rooted, Factory Reset is pretty much your only way. If you are rooted, there's some files you can delete but I don't remember them.
Think about it - if your phone was lost or stolen, would you want someone to be able to disable the screen lock to get at your information?

So I had a password on my phone and a fingerprint lock. I used the fingerprint lock to unlock the phone and on restart it would ask me the password. All was good.
At some point I removed the screen lock altogether. I don't have a screen lock now and I'm able to enter the phone without prompt just fine even on boot,
Except, now I want to enable the screen lock again and it asks me to re-enter the password. Now the old password doesn't work and I could swear I didn't really touch it when removing the screen lock.
I'm able to do everything on my phone, except setup a screen lock. What is up here? And how do I setup a screen lock now or reset the password?
Not sure of the fix.
I got locked out of a PC bios like that ie the password spontaneously became corrupted.
I set passwords for accounts only, not devices and this illustrates why.
It may indicate a hardware failure or maybe just a firmware glitch. See if there's a default password for that model... a service center may be able to help.
