The Basics

Locking the Screen

You can lock your phone so that only you can unlock it to make calls, access
your data, buy apps, and prevent unauthorized use.

Setting a Screen Lock for the First Time

1. From the Home screen, tap the Menu Key

> Lock screen settings.

2. Tap Select screen lock.

3. Tap None, Swipe, Knock Code, Face Unlock, Pattern, PIN, or

Password.

 None: No lock screen is enabled so the screen will never be locked

from use.

 Swipe: A swipe motion in any direction on the touchscreen will unlock

the screen. This is the default Lock screen that simply guards against
unintentional actions.

 Knock Code: Unlocks the screen using a knock pattern on a 2x2 grid.

The first time you set a knock code, you'll see a tutorial with
instructions on how to create it. Tap a sequence on the 2x2 grid (from
2 to 8 taps), then tap Done. Tap your sequence again and tap Confirm.

NOTE

You're prompted to create a Backup PIN as a safety measure in case you forget

your Knock code unlock sequence.

 Face Unlock: Unlocks the screen using face recognition. The phone

captures your image to identify you. Keep in mind that Face Unlock is
less secure than a pattern, knock code, PIN, or password because it
uses generalized shape and dimension to verify your face.

 Pattern: Unlocks the screen using a pattern you draw with your finger.

The first time you set an unlock pattern, you'll see a tutorial with
instructions on how to create it. Read the tutorial, then tap Next.
Draw your pattern (connect at least 4 dots) and tap Continue. Then
redraw your pattern and tap Confirm.

NOTE

You're prompted to create a Backup PIN as a safety measure in case you forget

your unlock pattern sequence.
