> Location & security.
2. Touch Set up screen lock (under the Screen unlock section of the
settings).
3. Touch Pattern, PIN, or Password.
Pattern: The first time you set an unlock pattern, you will see a tutorial
with instructions on how to create it. Read the tutorial and touch Next
(twice). Draw your pattern (connect at least 4 dots) and touch Continue.
Then redraw your pattern and touch Confirm.
PIN: Enter a PIN (at least 4 digits) and touch Continue. Reenter your PIN
