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.
•
If you select Face Unlock you are guided through the face
recognition application to lock and unlock your handset.
The next time you turn on your phone or wake up the screen, you
must draw your unlock pattern or enter your PIN or password to
unlock it.
IMPORTANT:
Screen lock options are listed in the approximate
order of the strength of their security, starting with
None
and
Long Press
, which provide no security. Pattern provides minimal
security, although it can be more convenient than the stronger
options.
If you forget your unlock pattern, PIN or password you have to
hard reset your device. From the locked screen, touch
Emergency call, then enter the code *983*987 and follow the
instructions. All data is erased.
