To protect your phone with a PIN

To protect your device with a password
You can help keep your data more secure by requiring a password every
time the device is turned on.
1. Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > Lock.
2. Select the Prompt if device unused for check box, and in the box
to the right, select how long your device must be turned off before
a password is required. In the Password type box, select the type of
password you would like to use. Enter the password and, if necessary,
confirm the password. If your device is configured
to connect to a network, use a strong password to help protect
network security.
3. On the Hint tab, enter a phrase that will help you remember your
password, but doesn’t allow others to guess your password. The hint
will be displayed after the wrong password is entered four times.
4. Tap OK. The next time the device is turned on, you will be
prompted to enter your password.
Each time a wrong password is entered, the time the device takes
to respond will get longer and longer until the device appears to be not
responding.
If you forget your password, you must follow the instructions in
your owner’s manual to clear memory before you can access your
device.
