The Basics
Setting a screen lock
Set a screen lock type for the level of security you want to use to guard
against unauthorized access to your tablet. Once set, you’ll need to perform
its unlock sequence to gain access to your tablet from timeout, when you
turn on the tablet, and to change to a different lock type.
From the Home screen, touch and hold the Recent Apps key
(in the
Touch keys bar) > Lock screen settings > Select screen lock, select the
screen lock you want to use, then follow the on-screen instructions to
set it.
• Swipe: A swipe motion in any direction on the right side of the
touchscreen unlocks the screen. This is the default Lock screen that
only guards against unintentional use.
• Face Unlock: Face recognition unlocks the screen. The tablet captures
your image to identify you. Keep in mind that Face Unlock is less
secure than a Knock Code, pattern, PIN, or password because it uses
generalized shape and dimension to verify your face.
• Knock Code: A knock pattern tapped on the screen unlocks the
screen. The first time you set a Knock Code, you’ll see a tutorial with
instructions on how to create it. Tap your code (at least 3 taps), then
tap Done. Tap your code again, then tap Confirm.
• Pattern: A pattern you draw with your finger unlocks the screen. 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), then tap Continue. Draw your
pattern again, then tap Confirm.
• PIN: A number sequence unlocks the screen. Enter a PIN (at least 4
digits), then tap Continue. Enter your PIN again, then tap OK to
confirm it.
• Password: An alphanumeric sequence unlocks the screen. Enter a
password (at least 4 characters), then tap Continue. Enter your
password again, then tap OK to confirm it.
NOTE If you haven't set up multiple user IDs on the tablet, you can choose to never lock the
screen by selecting Swipe as the lock type.
