Security: Encrypt Phone
You can encrypt all the data on your phone such as Google Accounts, application data, music
and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN
or password each time you power on your phone.
Warning:
Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is to
perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen, and may be required or
recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it on. In
many case the PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
●
Set a PIN or password as screen lock.
●
Charge the battery.
●
Keep the phone connected to the charger.
●
Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process. You must not interrupt it or you will
lose some or all of your data.
