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.

stronger options.
Protecting Your Phone With Encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts, application data, music
and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must enter a
numeric PIN or password each time you power on your phone.
WARNING! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted
phone is to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen, and may be
required or recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator
