Protecting Your Phone With Screen
Locks
You can protect your phone by creating a screen lock. When
enabled, you need to touch and hold certain icon, draw a pattern,
or enter a numeric PIN or password to unlock the phone screen.
1. Touch > > Settings > Security.
2. Touch Screen lock.
3. Touch Long press, Pattern, PIN or Password.
Touch Long press to enable screen lock and allow
unlock with a ‘touch and hold’ gesture. You can unlock the
screen by touching and holding on the display.
If you touch Pattern, you’re guided to create a pattern you
must draw to unlock the screen. The first time you do this,
a short tutorial about creating an unlock pattern appears.
Then you’re prompted to draw and redraw your own
pattern.
If you touch PIN or Password, you’re prompted to set a
numeric PIN or a password you must enter to unlock your
screen.
IMPORTANT: If you have added a Google Account on the phone
and forget the pattern you set, try five times and touch Forgot
pattern? to sign in to the Google Account and reset the screen
lock. You need an active Internet connection. You can also
upgrade the phone software. See Upgrading the Phone
Software.
