Phone is lost or accessed by an unauthorized user.

device. After setting a lock screen password, touch Enroll in the dialog box that pops up and

follow the onscreen prompts to enroll your ngerprints.

l For security reasons, please do not disable the lock screen password: A lock screen

password prevents unauthorized access to your device. For the security of your device, do not

select Disable lock screen password as the screen lock method.

entered your screen lock password for 3 days, the system will require that you enter the

password to unlock your device.
