how to set lock in android

The standard swipe-lock screen isn’t a difficult lock to pick.
In fact, it’s known as the No Security screen lock on
Android tablets. If you’ve added more security, you might
see any one of several different lock screens on your tablet.
The password lock is the most secure. It requires that you
type a multicharacter password to unlock the tablet. Touch
the Done button on the onscreen keyboard to accept the
password and unlock the tablet.
The PIN lock is also considered secure. It requires that you
type a secret number to unlock the tablet. Touch the OK
button to unlock the tablet, or use the Del button to back
up and erase.
To work the pattern lock, trace your finger over the nine
dots that appear on the screen along a preset pattern.
After you match the pattern, the tablet is unlocked. This
type of screen lock is more secure than the swipe lock, but
not as secure as the password lock or PIN lock.
Some tablets may feature other lock screen options, such as
the face lock screen. Galaxy Note tablets feature a
signature lock, which uses that tablet’s S Pen. Though clever
and fun, these locks are not considered secure, and they
often require a password or PIN as a backup.
Whether or not you see these various lock screens depends
on how you’ve configured your tablet’s security. The pattern
lock can start at any dot, not necessarily the upper left
dot.
You’ll probably leave your Android tablet on all the time.
That’s great! Tablets are designed that way, and the
battery supports keeping it on for lengthy periods. When
your tablet is bored, or when you’ve ignored it for a while,
it locks itself similarly to a computer entering Sleep mode.
After the tablet is locked, the touchscreen turns off to save
power.
To unlock the tablet, press the Power/Lock key. Unlike
turning on the tablet, a quick press is all that’s needed.
After unlocking the tablet, you see the lock screen.
Or, if you’ve configured the tablet for more security, you
may see a different locking screen. Simply unlock the
screen, and you can start using the device.
On Samsung tablets, you can press the Home button to
unlock the tablet. The Home button is centered below
the touchscreen.
On the Samsung Galaxy Note, you can unlock the tablet
by removing the S Pen.
An Android tablet continues to run while it’s sleeping.
Mail is received, social networking updates are made,
and so on. The tablet also continues to play music while
it’s locked.
Touching the touchscreen doesn’t unlock the tablet
unless you’ve configured the tablet not to use a screen
lock.
Loud noises will not wake up your tablet.
Android tablets don’t snore while sleeping, but they
can dream.
