Is there a way to passcode lock my iPhone without waiting for the preset idle time?

Is there a way to passcode lock my iPhone without waiting for the preset time?
My iPhone is set up to require a passcode after 15 minutes of idle time. Normally, this setting works best for me. However, there are times when I would like to lock it immediately, without waiting for the 15 minutes of idle time to pass. Is there a way to do that easily, without changing my settings? I know that I can click the power button to immediately kill the screen, but that just defaults to "slide to open" with no passcode required.
Just to clarify, the idea is to leave my 15 minute setting, since this is the way I like it 98% if the time. I'm just wondering if, let's say I am resting my phone down while a curious person is around, I can quickly pass code lock it, much like I could just click the power button to put it to sleep.

Unfortunately, my phone doesn't ask for the passcode when I do this (just slide-to-open). I've searched settings, but I don't see any way to set it up to require the passcode after the screen is locked with the power button.
Do you remember how you set your iPhone up to achieve this?

    You cannot remotely undo a remote lock nor remotely unlock it.

  • Is there a way to password lock specific files I put on the playbook?

    is there a way to password lock specific files I put on the playbook - both media & non-media files/folders?
    ideally if a file is password locked, it can also be made hidden?
    thanks.

    from my personal perspective, a device should always be password protected. I cannot see any case where you would accept for any device to be borrowed for someone to use.

  • Is there a way to disable concurrent Weblogic Admin Console sessions for the same user?

    A coworker on another workstation and I are able to log into same user account on the Weblogic Admin Console at the same time. I would like to restrict access so only one session per user account can be logged in to the Admin Console. Is this possible?
    Alternatively, is there a way to log identifiable information (IP/workstation) when multiple sessions for one account occur at the same time?
    I am using 10.3.6.0

    Hi,
    You could also check the http access logs for such info. There you could see records for the received requests, with each record starting with the source IP that initiated the request.
    The default location for access logs is ${DOMAIN_HOME}/servers/${SERVER_NAME}/logs. Of course in your case, the ${SERVER_NAME} would be your admin server name (AdminServer if left as default).

  • Is there a way to delete email from iPhone without deleting on macbook

    Is there a way to delete email from the iPhone without deleting it from my macbook?

    logging out and logging back in to your email account in the iPhone's Settings will erase all the emails saved in the iPhone (without deleting them from your email server). That way, it will only load again the email when you open it.

  • Is there a way to delete and acess iPhone text messages from the computer?

    I lost my iPhone and someone else has it. I would like to delete everything from it because there is no pass code on it. Is there a way to do that online?

    Hi kennedysekanina,
    You can wipe your phone if you had Find My iPhone enabled on it, and if it is still online. You would do this through your iCloud account by logging onto it at iCloud.com

  • Is there a way you can reset an iPhone without an iCloud password?

    This is an old phone and I want to reset it to default mode before I sell it. I've tried in 'settings, general, about' and then resetting the phone but I don't have the iColud password and I can't change my password as my iCloud account is linked to my mom's. Please help.

    Login to iCloud.com and remove this device from your iCloud account you can then reset this device and you will not need an iCloud password to reset it.

  • Is there a way to ask Siri to show a calendar for the current month?

    Everytime I ask to see a calendar for February, she shows me all of my appointments for February. I simply want to look at a calendar, like the calendar on my wall.

    Actually, no, not yet.
    What I found I could do is ask Siri to "Show me an image of February, 2012" or "Show me a picture of February 2012".
    NOW I've answered my question (BTW, YOU didn't!).

  • HT4623 Is there a way to continue using my iphone without updating?

    Is it possible to continue using my Iphone 4 without updating to the latest IOS?   I downloaded it on my Ipad and do not like the changes.  It also does not allow Google to be downloaded.  I am having trouble downloading apps

    Yes. Although, if connected to WiFi, & you have at least 3.1GB's of free space, and running iOS 6.0 or higher, the update will download automatically, then you'll be bugged to update. But, you don't have to update.

  • HT4623 Is there any way to find a lost iPhone once the phone's battery has expired?

    I have lost my iPhone(4)and the battery is dead. I have the "locate device application", however, I know the battery is dead. To my knowledge, once the battery has expired, it cannot be retrieved using the "lost device/find my device" application.?? Is this correct? If so, is there another way to find this lost iPhone?

    Thanks for taking the time to respond!!
    I didn't think so, but was hoping this was a time, that someone knew something that I didn't.

  • Is there a way to allow allow my iPhone 4S to make a call to a specific number while locked?

    Is there a way to allow allow my iPhone 4S to make a call to a specific number while locked? I would like specific phone numbers to be allowed to be called by my family members while my phone is locked. However as the phone is required to be secured for work I would rather not have to have the device unlocked and thus access to emails, texts, etc be visable. Is there a way to do this?

    With the exception of 911, no.
