NOTE
If you choose Pattern, you'll be prompted to create a Backup PIN as a safety measure in
case you forget your unlock pattern.
CAUTION
Sign in to (or create) a Google Account before setting a screen lock (and remember
the Backup PIN you created when creating your screen lock) to reduce the risk of
needing to perform a Hard Reset which erases all of your data.
WARNING
It's very important to remember the screen lock you set. After five incorrect

your phone. The phone will automatically reset itself and erase all of the phone's
data after ten incorrect attempts.
