Precautions to take when using a screen lock.
- It is very important to remember the screen lock you set. You will not be able to access your tablet if you use an incorrect screen lock 5 times. You have 5 opportunities to enter your unlock pattern, PIN or password. If you have used all 5 opportunities, you can try again after 30 seconds.
When you cant recall your Pattern, PIN or Password:
< If you have forgotten your pattern >
- If you logged in to your Google account on the tablet but failed to enter the correct pattern 5 times, tap the Forgot pattern? button at the bottom of the screen. You are then required to log in with your Google Account or you have to enter the Backup PIN which you entered when creating your Pattern Lock. If you have not created a Google account on the tablet or you forgot the Backup PIN, you have to perform a hard reset.
< If you have forgotten your PIN or Password >
- If you forget your PIN or Password, you will need to perform a hard reset.
Note: If you perform a hard reset, all user applications and user data will be deleted.
