When you set a pattern, PIN, password, or fingerprint for the screen lock method, you can 
protect your personal information by preventing others from accessing your device. After 
setting the screen lock method, the device will require an unlock code whenever unlocking it.

•   Pattern: Draw a pattern with four or more dots to unlock the screen.
•   PIN: Enter a PIN with at least four numbers to unlock the screen.
•   Password: Enter a password with at least four characters, numbers, or symbols to unlock 

the screen.

•   None: Do not set a screen lock method.
•   Fingerprints: Register your fingerprints to unlock the screen. Refer to 

 for more information.

•   If the unlock code is forgotten, take the device to a Samsung Service Centre to 

reset it.

•   You can set your device to perform a factory data reset if you enter the unlock code 

incorrectly several times in a row and reach the attempt limit. On the Apps screen,  
tap Settings 

→ Lock screen and security → Secure lock settings and tap the  

Auto factory reset switch to activate it.

You can easily access your favourite apps, tasks, contacts, and more from various Edge panels. 
Even when the screen is turned off, you can view information, such as news, missed calls, and 
message alerts, and view the night clock on the Edge screen.
