To create and enable the screen unlock pattern
You can increase the security of your device by creating a screen unlock pattern.
When enabled, you have to draw the correct unlock pattern on the screen to unlock
the device's control buttons and touch screen.
1. Press HOME > MENU, then touch Settings.
2. Touch Security & location > Set unlock pattern.
3. Read the information on the screen, then touch Next.
4. Study the example pattern on the screen, then touch Next.
5.
Draw the screen unlock pattern by connecting
at least four dots in a vertical, horizontal and/or
diagonal direction. Lift your finger from the
screen when finished.
Note You must slide your finger on the screen to
create the pattern and not touch individual
dots.
6. The device records the pattern. Touch Continue.
7.
When prompted, draw the screen unlock pattern
again, then touch Confirm.
8. Select the Require pattern option to enable the
screen unlock pattern.
Tip Clear the Use visible pattern check box, if you do not want the unlock pattern
to display when you unlock the screen.
Note To change your unlock screen pattern, press HOME > MENU, then touch
Settings > Security & location > Change unlock pattern.
When you fail to draw the correct unlock pattern on the screen after five attempts,
you will be prompted to wait for 30 seconds before you can try again. If you forgot
your screen unlock pattern, touch Forgot pattern. You will be prompted to sign
in using your Gmail account name and password, and create a new screen unlock
pattern before the Home screen displays.
