Scroll Tablet PC | Scroll Excel Tablet Forum

It was annoying me that I couldn't find out how to enable the lock-screen password protection that I know is built-in to Android 2.3. All of the references simply say select the Location & Security item from Settings to set up passwords (or a PIN or a security pattern), but my Scroll 7" Capacitative didn't have this item in the settings menu. Here's how I get to it.

• From the Home screen, press the Menu hard button and select Add
• Select "Shortcuts"
• Select "Settings"
• Select "Location & security settings"
• You now have a shortcut to the missing menu item on your home screen - select this
• Select "Change screen lock"
• Select your preferred means of securing your Scroll

Now every time you unlock your screen with the slider you will be asked to enter your password/pin/pattern.

Simples - just a pain to access the menu item for some reason
