Protecting Your Tablet You can protect your tablet against unauthorized access by setting a pattern, a PIN, a password, or with a face unlock. After you configure any of these security options, your tablet prompts for the respective unlocking information before you can use the tablet. Screen-unlock pattern This security method requires you to create a pattern that you need to draw every time to unlock the tablet. If incorrect unlock patterns are drawn for five consecutive times, the tablet forces a 30-second delay before you can try again. Creating a screen unlock pattern 1. Tap → Settings→ Security→ Screen lock→ Pattern. 2. Drag your finger to draw the unlock pattern by connecting at least four dots in a vertical, horizontal and/or diagonal direction. Take your finger off the screen when a pattern is drawn. The tablet records the pattern if it is correctly drawn. 3. Tap Continue. 4. Draw the pattern again and then tap Confirm. 20  Protecting Your Tablet
