ipq6515

Hi All

Many kids just borrow the iPaq and fidle with it, I want to protect my ipaq setings / usage & data security.

Pls give us some tips!

Put a password on it, and don't let kids "fiddle" with it!

Tweaks2k2.net (software) might be of assistance, it allows some security settings and can "disable" some buttons, etc.

Here are two that I know of:

Greetings from Amsterdam Holland,

To keylock your 6515 go to START - SETTINGS - BUTTONS - LOCK - enable keylock. Exit the settings screen and push the power button to go into standby mode (in standby mode the phone still works so it also saves the battery) Now the pda is locked. Push the power button again and unlock your pda by pressing first the contact button and than the message button.

cheers

This is also a nice one MortSaver 2.0

What would be really useful, but I highly doubt it is possible, is to have one password that accesses full control and another password that only allows for programs to run (even maybe only certain programs).
That would make it a lot better for when I let a mate use it so I know that they cannot delete any of my files or change some settings, especially to format the file store.

This is moving into the realms of the desktop version of Windows and I suspect it is much more compelx than saying it.

Has anyone else found that enabling the keyguard doesn't seem to do anything? Even with this setting on, all buttons and the touch screen work straight away after coming out of standby mode.

What I want to be able to do is start playing some music through windows media and then lock the keypad so that i can put it in my pocket and not have to worry about calling people etc... Ideally I would like the the little answer button on the headset to stil be active so that I can answer the phone without having to unlock it first. Probably asking alot!

Any ideas?
