Securing your tablet
If you choose to set a password (with or without encryption), Toshiba 
strongly recommends that you write down your password  and keep 
it in a safe location where you can later access it should you not 
remember it. 
Toshiba is not responsible for any losses that may occur, as a result 
of the inability to access your device.
When you initially turn on or wake the tablet, the lock screen 
requires you to drag the Lock (
) icon to unlock the screen, see 
. Alternatively, you can secure the 
lock screen by requiring a pattern or entry of a numeric PIN or 
password, so only you can access your data. You may also be 
required to secure the lock screen by a policy set by an email 
account or other account you add to your tablet. For more 
information, see 
.
You can also encrypt the data on your tablet, so you must enter a 
numeric PIN or a password to decrypt it each time you power it on.

icon at the bottom of the Quick Settings screen.
You can also open Settings by touching the Settings (

in the Apps screen or on a Home screen (if you placed a 
shortcut to it there).

If you touch Pattern, you’re guided to create a pattern you must 
draw to unlock the screen. The first time you do this, a short tutorial 
about creating an unlock pattern appears. Then you are prompted to 
draw and redraw your own pattern.
If you touch PIN or Password, you are prompted to set a numeric 
PIN or a password you must enter to unlock your screen.
The next time you turn on your tablet or wake up the screen, you 
must draw your unlock pattern or enter your PIN or password to 
unlock it.
