Protect Your Device Data With a Screen
Unlock Pattern

You can protect your device data against unauthorized access by
locking the touch screen with a screen unlock pattern. Once the
unlock pattern is enabled and the screen is locked, you need to draw
the correct unlock pattern to unlock the screen.

After you fail to draw the correct unlock pattern on the screen for five
consecutive times, you will be asked to wait for 30 seconds before you
can try again. If you no longer remember your screen unlock pattern,
follow these steps to unlock your screen:

account name and password.
