How to

Turning use of phone lock code on my mobile phone on or off

If you want to prevent others from accessing the contents of your mobile phone (such as pictures and messages), you need to turn on the phone lock code. Once done, it needs to be keyed in when you turn on your mobile phone. Please note: the phone lock code doesn't protect your mobile phone against unauthorised use. Your SIM is protected by turning on your PIN.

Slide your finger down the display starting from the top edge of your mobile phone.
Tap the settings icon.

Tap Security.

Tap Screen lock.

You can create several types of phone lock codes. The following steps show two examples:
Create phone lock code using a pattern, go to 2a.
Create phone lock code using a PIN, go to 2b.

Tap Pattern.

Tap and drag a point to connect at least four points.

Tap CONTINUE.
Repeat the selected phone lock code to confirm.

Tap CONFIRM.

Tap the required setting.

Tap DONE.

Tap PIN.

Key in the required phone lock code and tap CONTINUE.

Key in the phone lock code again and tap OK.

Tap the required setting.

Tap DONE.

Tap No lock screen.

Tap the home icon to return to the home screen.
