Setting an Unlock Pattern
Creating a screen unlock pattern increases security on the
device. When you enable the User visible pattern field, you
will draw an unlock pattern on the screen whenever you
want to unlock the device’s touch screen.
The feature is now paired with a backup PIN code that acts
as a backup to the pattern lock. If you forget your pattern,
you can regain access to the device by entering a PIN code.
Note:
Make sure the Require Pattern field is activated.
