can you make a password for accessing your phone?

do you want to set up a password before you can use your phone from the lockscreen? or when turning it on? lock the applications? lock files? accessing from internet?

which phone?

if youre looking for just the normal screenlocking, go to the settings, lockscreen and choose the way to lock your device (several ways to lock it).

 

menu - settings - security

there you can set up lock screen and encryption.
