   You can change each of these options as you need by tapping on the number of minutes below the option

   .

   If you're someone that uses your phone a lot, but there are always gaps in between them, and you're always putting your phone down, maybe you don't want to have the hassle of putting in your password every five minutes. So we're going to change 15 minutes by pressing it from the list of choices that will appear.

   You can do the same thing for Screen times out after

   .

   Tap the number of minutes, and then choose the desired option from the list the pops up. I will change mine to three minutes.

    So as you can see, you have an additional options

    .

    The first, password On or Off, can be changed by sliding your finger across the rectangle switch on the right side of the screen. You can set up a password here if you want to put a password in. However, that is not necessary for us since we already have a password right now.

    I will need to enter my password using the keypad to turn it off
