The Basics
Pattern: Unlocks the screen using a pattern you draw with your finger.
The first time you set an unlock pattern, you will see a tutorial with
instructions on how to create it. Read the tutorial and touch the Next
button. Draw your pattern (connect at least 4 dots) and touch the
Continue button. Then redraw your pattern and touch the Confirm
button.
NOTE Follow the on-screen instructions to create a backup PIN number in case you forget your
pattern.
PIN Unlocks the screen with a number sequence. Enter a PIN (at least 4
digits) and touch the Continue button. Reenter your PIN and touch the
OK button to confirm it.
Password Unlocks the screen with an alphanumeric sequence. Enter a
password (at least 4 characters) and touch the Continue button. Reenter
your password and touch the OK button to confirm it.
From then on, any time you wish to turn the phone on or unlock the
screen, you will need to draw your unlock pattern or enter your PIN or
password to unlock the screen.
NOTES O You have 5 opportunities to enter your unlock pattern, PIN or password. If you used
all the 5 opportunities, you can try again after 30 seconds.
O When you can’t recall your unlock pattern:
- If you’ve created a Google Account on the phone, touch Forgot pattern?. Then
you are required to sign in with your Google Account or enter your backup PIN to
unlock your phone.
- If you haven’t created a Google Account on the phone, you need to perform a
factory reset (Caution: If you perform a factory reset, all user applications and
user data will be deleted. Please remember to back up any important data before
performing a factory reset).
Hard Reset (Factory Reset)
If you forget your lock sequence and backup PIN, you will have to perform a
hard reset to gain access to your phone. There are two ways of performing
the hard reset. Check your current software version before continuing.
NOTE To check your software version, from the Home screen touch the Apps Key >
Settings > About phone and scroll down to Software version.
WARNING Performing a hard reset deletes all of your user data.
