Security?

Postby nirakaro » January 19th, 2011, 6:45 pm

I'm trying to figure out how to lock my Scroll or password protect it, but nothing in the user guide. There must be a way?

Doh I'm so retarded... Didin't realise... go into settings > location and security settings
Enable require pattern and set your required pattern... when you tap the power button it'll lock... tap again and draw your pattern to unlock..

Was just analogue alarm clock... think I found it either in Android Pit or SlideME... didn't have pattern unlock before that and did afterwards and since I only had that and AVG antivirus installed it can only be the alarm clock that's done it
