Screen Lock and Unlock

Set a Lock Screen Password to Protect Your Privacy

Your Phone stores a lot of sensitive information, such as personal photos, contact

information, banking apps (for example, Alipay). Set a lock screen password so that a

password is required each time you unlock your Phone. A lock screen password helps to

protect your private information if your Phone is lost or accessed by an unauthorized user.

Set a lock screen password: Open

Settings, go to Security & privacy > Lock screen

password, and set the type of lock screen password you prefer.

• Set a PIN: A PIN number is a sequence of digits. Entering a PIN to unlock your Phone is

quick and simple. For better security, use a long sequence of random numbers as your PIN.

Go to Set lock screen password, follow the prompts to set up a PIN. Alternatively, touch

Change unlock method, and set 4-digit PIN or Custom PIN.

• Set a pattern: Unlock your Phone by drawing a preset pattern on the screen. For better

security, use a pattern that includes overlapping line segments. Go to Set lock screen

password > Change unlock method > Pattern and draw the same pattern twice. The

pattern must connect at least 4 dots.

• Set a password: A password made up of numbers, letters, and special characters is more

secure than a PIN or pattern. For better security, use a password with 8 or more characters

that includes numbers, letters, and special characters. Be sure to memorize the password so

that you don't get locked out of your Phone if you forget it. Go to Set lock screen

password > Change unlock method > Password, follow the prompts to set up a password.

• 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,

• Regular password prompts help you to remember your password: If you have not

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

the password to unlock your device.
