A 4 number pin offers not too much protection. It's just a remainder : 'i dont want you to get in'
Exactly. This simple precaution will stop people from walking into my office when I'm away, picking up my iliad, and stumbling upon the IP addresses of all the servers on the network. Yes somebody could walk off with it, hack into it, and get my docs that way. But by then, security should have stopped them.
