Password

Previous 

Your security password protects your settings from unauthorized changes. Password is required when:

  • accessing password protected features of ESET Mobile Security (Antivirus, Antispam, Anti-Theft and Security audit),
  • accessing your phone in case it was locked,
  • sending SMS commands to your device,
  • uninstalling ESET Mobile Security.

NOTE: Uninstall protection is available only on Android 2.2 and later.

 

To set a new security password, type it in the Password and Re-type Password fields. The Reminder Phrase option (if set) displays a hint in case you do not remember your password.
 
IMPORTANT: Please choose your password carefully as this will be required when unlocking your device or uninstalling ESET Mobile Security.

 

In the Apply To tab, you can specify which modules will be protected by the password.

 

 
If you forget your password, you can send an SMS from the mobile number saved in your Trusted Friends list to your mobile number. This SMS must be in the following form:
eset remote reset
Your password will be reset.
