Device Administration

Use the Device Administration feature to select one or more
administration applications that control your device for
security purposes (for example, if your tablet is lost of

security policies.
Some of the features a device administration application
might control are:
•
Setting the number of failed password attempts before the
device is restored to factory settings.
•
Automatically locking the device.
•
Restoring factory settings on the device.
Note: If a device uses multiple enabled administration
applications, the strictest policy is enforced.
1. From the Settings screen, touch Security.
2. Touch Device administrators, to select a device
administrator, and follow the prompts.
If no device administrators are listed, you can
download them from the Play Store.

harm to your tablet.
