Locking your phone

You can lock your phone so that only you can unlock it to make calls, access your data, buy applications, and so on. You may also be required to lock your phone by a policy set by an email or other account you add to your phone.

See “Location & security settings” on page 323 for other ways to protect your phone and privacy.

To lock your phone

1On the Home screen, press Menu and touch Settings > Location & security.

2Touch Set up screen lock.

If you already have a screen lock configured, touch Change screen lock to change how you lock your screen or to turn off screen locking.

3Touch Pattern, PIN, or Password.

If you touch Pattern, you’re guided to create a pattern you must draw to unlock the screen. The first time you do this, a short tutorial about creating an unlock pattern appears. You can press Menu and touch Help at any time for a refresher. Then you’re prompted to draw and redraw your own pattern.

If you touch PIN or Password, you’re prompted to set a numeric PIN or a password you must enter to unlock your screen.

The next time you turn on your phone or wake up the screen, you must draw your unlock pattern or enter your PIN or password to unlock the screen.

To remove the pattern, PIN, or password lock
