How to set screen lock?
- Swipe down from the top of the screen and tap the Settings icon in the top menu bar.
- Tap Security & Privacy.
- Toggle on Screen Lock Password.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to enter a six-digit password and re-enter to confirm it.
Each time you turn on your Supernote device or wake up the screen, you will then be asked to unlock the screen with the password.
If you want to change or disable the screen lock password, simply tap Change Screen Lock Password or toggle off Screen Lock Password and enter the password(s) as needed.
How to password-protect files?
- Swipe down from the top of the screen and tap the Settings icon in the top menu bar.
- Tap Security & Privacy.
- Toggle on File Password.
- Enter a password that consists of 4-16 alphanumeric characters and re-enter to confirm it.
An example of a strong password is W$#@1s4, containing upper and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters.
Special characters, such as \/:*?"<>|], cannot be included in the file passwords, which are case sensitive.
After you've set up a password, you can then choose to password-protect a folder or a specific file by long pressing the folder or file before tapping Lock.
Note: When you don't remember the screen lock password or file password, tap Forgot password? on the screen to reset it.
