Set a pattern: Unlock your Phone by drawing a preset pattern on the screen. For better security,
use a pattern that includes overlapping line segments. Go to Set lock screen password > Change
unlock method > Pattern and draw the same pattern twice. The pattern must connect at least 4
dots.

Set a password: A password made up of numbers, letters, and special characters is more secure
than a PIN or pattern. For better security, use a password with 8 or more characters that includes
numbers, letters, and special characters. Be sure to memorize the password so that you don't get
locked out of your Phone if you forget it. Go to Set lock screen password > Change unlock
method > Password, follow the prompts to set up a password.

onscreen prompts to complete the setup.

Unlock your device using a fingerprint: If your device supports fingerprint unlock, this is the

device. After setting a lock screen password, touch Add in the dialog box that pops up and
follow the onscreen prompts to enrol your fingerprints.
l
For security reasons, please do not disable the lock screen password: A lock screen

Regular password prompts help you to remember your password: If you have not
entered your screen lock password for 3 days, the system will require that you enter the
password to unlock your device.
