One of the main advantages of the shell Android is a multi-stage protection system that can be improved almost indefinitely. But there are times when, after installing protection, users do not know how to remove it. In the presented essay, the question will be considered in detail: how to put protection and how to remove the screen lock on Android.
How to set a password
First, we will describe in detail how to put protection on Android. To do this, you need to perform the following manipulations:
- First go to 'Settings', then go down to the 'Personalization' menu.
- There will be a sub-item 'Security'. Go to it.
- In this menu, you can lock the Android screen using special options. To do this, go to the menu, select 'Screen lock' and the method by which the operation will be performed. This can be done using a slider, face control (not every device has), pattern, PIN or password.
- One of the best ways is a pattern or face control. But the latter does not always work correctly. To set a pattern, you need to connect the dots with lines in any order and click 'Continue'. After entering sleep mode, the screen will be automatically locked.
In the future, in order to remove the lock from Android, you will need to connect the dots in the sequence in which they were set when the option was activated.
In addition, there are also special utilities on GooglePlay that allow you to lock and unlock Android – the display, but at the same time have a much wider range of options than the usual ones. Both paid and free versions are available. One of the best utilities of this kind is Pattern Lock Screen.
