Here is the problem with my 7130c after setting a device password.

From Options / Security Options / General Settings / Enable Password, I created a password and enabled it.

Now after I lock the device, I get an hourglass icon that appears for l sec. then disappears, then reappears & disappears five times in a row. During this I cannot access the device as it will not respond while the hourglass is present.

Sometimes after I lock it, the hourglass appears and stays spinning on the display for as much as a minute or more. Almost like a freeze, yet there is the activity of the hourglass spinning. Once again, no keys respond and I cannot enter the password until the spinning hourglass goes away.

The amount of time before I can access the device varies between 20 seconds and 3 minutes.

Any fix for this?
Thanks in advance for the assistance.

is content protection enabled on the device? That could explain the slowdown...

No, I did not have content protection enabled. However how I decided to approach it was to re-load the OS. Problem solved.....(y)

Thanks for responding to my post!
