Setting Your Lock Screen

There are several Lock screen types allowing you to lock your phone so
that only you can unlock it to make calls, access your data, buy apps, and
otherwise prevent unauthorized use.
Setting a Screen Lock for the First Time
1. Tap the Home Button
Lock screen settings.
2. Tap Select screen lock.
3. Tap Swipe, Knock Code, Pattern, PIN, or Password.
Swipe: A swipe motion in any direction on the screen will unlock the
screen. This is the default Lock screen that simply guards against
unintentional actions.
Knock Code: Unlocks the screen using a tapping a sequence on the
screen's 2x2 grid. (When the screen is in timeout, the 2x2 grid is
invisible, but the grid is displayed on the Knock Code Lock screen.) The
first time you set a Knock Code, you'll see a tutorial with instructions on
how to create it. Tap a sequence on the 2x2 grid (from 6 to 8 taps), then
tap DONE. Tap your sequence again and tap CONFIRM.
NOTE You're prompted to create a Backup PIN as a safety measure in case you forget your
Knock Code unlock sequence.
Pattern: Unlocks the screen using a pattern you draw with your finger.
The first time you set an unlock pattern, you'll see a tutorial with
instructions on how to create it. Read the tutorial, then tap NEXT. Draw
your pattern (connect at least 4 dots) and tap NEXT. Then redraw your
pattern and tap CONFIRM.
PIN Unlocks the screen with a number sequence. Enter a PIN (at least 4
digits) and tap NEXT. Reenter your PIN and tap OK to confirm it.
Password Unlocks the screen with an alphanumeric sequence. Enter a
password (at least 4 characters) and tap NEXT. Re-enter your password
and tap OK to confirm it.
From then on, any time you want to unlock the screen, you'll need to
perform the unlock action you set (swipe, Knock Code, pattern, PIN, or
password) to gain access to it.
