Screen unlock pattern
You can secure data in your phone with a screen unlock pattern that only you know how
to draw. Your phone stores this pattern, and when you start your phone or activate the
screen, you are asked to draw it.
It is very important that you remember your screen unlock pattern. If you forget it, it may not be
possible to restore important data such as contacts and messages. Please refer to your
Sony Ericsson contact center.
