Protect Your Phone With Screen Locks

You can protect your phone by creating a screen lock with a
pattern, PIN or password to unlock the screen and keys.
1. Touch Home > Apps > Settings > Security.
2. Touch Screen lock.
3. Select from None, Long Press, Pattern, PIN or Password.
•
If you touch Pattern, you're guided to create a pattern you
must draw to unlock the screen. The first time you do this,
a short tutorial about creating an unlock pattern appears.
Then you're prompted to draw and redraw your own
pattern.
•
If you touch PIN or Password, you're prompted to set a
numeric PIN or a password you must enter to unlock your
screen.
The next time you turn on your phone or wake up the screen, you
must draw your unlock pattern or enter your PIN or password to
unlock it.
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. Pattern provides minimal
security, although it can be more convenient than the stronger
options.
IMPORTANT TIP
If you forget your unlock pattern, PIN or password you have to
reset your device. From the locked screen, touch Emergency call,
enter the code *983*987# and follow the instructions. All data on
the handset (not the SD card) is erased.
