The next time you turn on your phone or wake up the screen use
your unlock pattern, face, 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.
If you forget your unlock pattern, PIN or password you have to
hard 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.
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. After encryption is applied you need to 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
organisations. Consult your system administrator before turning it
on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is
controlled by the system administrator.
