42 The Basics
captures your image to identify you. Keep in mind that Face Unlock is
less secure than a pattern, 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 will see a tutorial with
instructions on how to create it. Read the tutorial and tap Next. Draw
your pattern (connect at least 4 dots) and tap Continue. Then redraw
your pattern and tap Confirm.
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 tap Continue. Reenter your PIN and tap OK to confirm it.
Password Unlocks the screen with an alphanumeric sequence. Enter a
password (at least 4 characters) and tap Continue. Re-enter your
password and tap OK to confirm it.
From then on, any time you want to turn the phone on or unlock the
screen, you will need to perform the unlock action you set (touch and
hold, swipe, face recognition, pattern, PIN, or password) to gain access
to it.
NOTES
•
You have 5 opportunities to enter your unlock pattern, PIN or password. If you used
all of the 5 opportunities, you can try again after 30 seconds.
•
When you can’t recall your unlock pattern:
- If you’ve created a Google Account on the phone, tap Forgot pattern? at the
bottom of the screen. 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. Refer to the Hard Reset (Factory Reset) section on page 45 (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).

If you change your mind about using a lock sequence to secure your phone,
you can disable it.
