Encrypt your data
You can encrypt all your data: Google Accounts, app data, music
and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you do,
you must enter a numeric PIN or password each time you turn
on your tablet. Note that this is the same PIN or password that
you use to unlock your tablet without encryption, and can’t be set
independently.
WARNING: Encryption is irreversible. The only way to re-
vert is to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your
data.
If your tablet has multiple users, only the owner can see the en-
cryption settings.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your tablet is
stolen, and may be required or recommended in some organiza-
tions. Consult your system administrator before turning it on. In
