It is very important that you remember your screen unlock pattern, PIN, or password. If
you forget this information, it may not be possible to restore important data, such as
contacts and messages. If you have set up a Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® (EAS)
account on your Xperia™ device, the EAS security settings may limit the lockscreen type
to only a PIN or password. This occurs when your network administrator specifies a
lockscreen type for all EAS accounts for enterprise security reasons. Contact the
network administrator of your company or organization to check what network security
policies are implemented for cellular devices.
For more settings for each screen lock type, tap beside Screen lock.
