To set a BlackBerry PlayBook password, simply click your PlayBook Settings icon in the top right corner of your tablet's home screen--the icon looks like a gear of some sort. Next, click the Security option from the list on the left of your PlayBook screen, then tap Password from the options that appear in the center of your display.

Make sure the Enable Password option is set to On, and then enter in your new password twice to confirm it. Finally, I recommend setting your Password Lock After options to one of the lowest settings: either one or two minutes. Exit out of the Security/Password options and your PlayBook is now password protected.

Note: It's also a good idea to protect your BlackBerry smartphone, if you employ one, with a handset password, but you should know that if you do use a BlackBerry smartphone password, you'll need to enter it every time you want to access core BlackBerry apps via the PlayBook's "BlackBerry Bridge" application.
