Precautions for device encryption
You can use the Secure start-up lock on the lock screen to increase your
device’s protection level.
• If Secure start-up is turned on and an incorrect password is entered
more than a specified number of times, the device will automatically do
factory data reset.
• If you forget your lock screen password, must factory data reset to use
the device. Factory data reset will delete all data saved in the device.
• Encryption takes place when the device boots for the first time after
factory data reset.
Memory card encryption
You can encrypt and protect data saved on the memory card. The
encrypted data in the memory card cannot be accessed from another
device.
