1. A method, performed in a Body Area Network, BAN, enabled wireless communication device, for creating access to said wireless communication device, comprises:
- detecting the presence of a user'"'"'s body by using a BAN enabled access module part of said wireless communication device;
collecting a biometric data of said user by using a scanner comprised in said BAN enabled access module;
receiving authentication data at said BAN enabled access module through BAN from a BAN enabled peripheral device, the authentication data being a predefined user-input code; and
allowing access to said wireless communication device when said collected biometric data and said received authentication data are valid; and
wherein, upon determining that the authentication data is not stored in the BAN enabled peripheral device, the method further comprising;
requesting the authentication data from the user and receiving the authentication data from the user vie a user input of the wireless communication device; and
transferring the authentication data received from the user to the BAN enabled peripheral device for storage.
