Lock Settings
Lock Settings give you the ability to activate a variety of lock features on your device, which can automatically secure your device in the event that it is lost or stolen.
Lock Behavior. The password you define in Password Settings unlocks the device. While the lock is imposed, you will not be able to access device applications. You will be able to receive calls, but you can only make outgoing emergency phone calls if you have enabled the Emergency Call feature through the Emergency Settings.
