Protect Your Phone With Screen Locks
You can change the default (long press) screen lock to a variety
of alternate screen locks. The phone supports face recognition,
pattern lock, a numeric PIN or a password.
1. Touch Home > Apps > Settings > Security.
2. Touch Screen lock.
3. Select from Long Press, Face Unlock, Pattern, PIN or
Password.
If you touch Pattern a short tutorial about creating an
•
unlock pattern appears. Follow the prompts to draw and
confirm your pattern.
If you touch PIN or Password, you're prompted to set a
•
numeric PIN or a password to unlock your screen.
If you select Face Unlock you are guided through the face
•
recognition application to lock and unlock your handset.
The next time you turn on your phone or wake up the screen,
your chosen screen lock method will be activated.
IMPORTANT: Screen lock options are listed in the approximate
order of the strength of their security, starting with None and
Long Press, which provide no security.
If you forget your unlock pattern, PIN or password and have NOT
set a Google account you will need to hard reset your device
which will erase all user data and apps stored on your handset.
From the locked screen, touch Emergency call, enter the code
*983*987# and follow the instructions.
