How do I lock my Apple iPhone?

I've been reading all of your extensive iPhone help on the site and found it a great boon to learning how to do things. I can't find any info on how to set up my phone to require a code be entered before it'll unlock, however. Do you have information on how to lock an Apple iPhone?

How can I avoid telling Apple my laptop password?

Category: Mac OS X Help

I need to send in my laptop Apple for repair. They asked for my password but I don't want to give it to them because that password is also the password for some of my file on my computer. What should I do?

How do I recover my password on Yahoo?

Hello, I've read your comments on recovering passwords or accounts like on Yahoo. I started investigating this when I suddenly found my own password was not working and the secret question had been changed by whoever hijacked the account. Do you have any advice for me aside from creating a new ID? I hate to say it but I'm considering trying to hijack it back.

What's my Yahoo account password?

Dear Dave, I wrote to Yahoo previously asking about my mail I believe had been hacked because my password is suddenly rejected. I am so disappointed no help has been given. What can I do to ask for a new password and retrieve my mail when I can't remember the zip code I entered previously?

It is such a disgrace if Yahoo! does not provide alternatives to handle such cases.
In my country, unlike the US, zip code aint popular at all. We don't use such data often. I was about to register full service by credit card, for Yahoo! with no ads, but now I am so disturbed and highly disappointed!

Pleeeeeeeeeeease HELP?
