There is no phone lock feature. But you can lock the simcard!!
since you already know about the screenlock, what more could you need a lock for???
Password Lock
so you want a password lock when you open your phone? Follow these steps:
Open Settings
Location and Security
Change screen lock
if you would like to put a password with words and numbers in it, select Password. If you want just 4 numbers as your password, select PIN.
Put in your password and then put it in a second time to confirm.
Well done! You now have a passworded phone
you just repeated what he said, because he said he knows about the screen lock. I'm still confused why he needs a bootup password in addition to a screen lock.
Smart Lock trusted Face, not working since OTA to 5.1.1
Hi @ all,
does someone have the same Problem than mine? Since the OTA to 5.1.1 trusted face is not working. It is still activated but when I wake up my phone I always have to put in my pin. The face button at the Screen bottom is not appearing. Only the lock button appears.
How can I Change this again?

** BUMP **
I have the same question. I'm new to Xperia Z3, so mine came with 5.1.1 installed, but i also can't figure out how to actually unlock with my face. I believe I have it set up correctly, but there is no such option to unlock with face once the phone is locked.
Hi there,
Recently went back to a S7 from a HTC M9 and wow what a difference and love this phone now. When setting up phone from new I set up a PIN and fingerprint screen lock. All was going well until I recently restarted it as had it turned off, now after a restart you have to re enter your PIN for fingerprint sensor to open it but unfortunately I was unable to remember my PIN ( silly bugger next time write PIN number down ). Eventually I opened it using Samsung Find My Mobile by using Lock My Mobile and using a new PIN phew what a relief as I didnt want to do a factory reset and then have to reload everything. Now I want to change my PIN to a new number ( already written down ) and when I go into Screen lock type in settings and it asks me under Confirm PIN to enter my PIN, I enter the PIN I used in Lock My Mobile to open phone it doesnt accept it and locked me out again for 5 minutes but after that time fingerprint sensor opened phone normally. Question is how do I reset a new number because if I have to restart /reboot phone for any reason I will be locked out again.
If you aren't rooted, Factory Reset is pretty much your only way. If you are rooted, there's some files you can delete but I don't remember them.
Think about it - if your phone was lost or stolen, would you want someone to be able to disable the screen lock to get at your information?

Hi all,
somebody can me explain why can I wake up sometimes the phone at lock screen without any adjusted security mode?
I mean sometimes if I push the ON button and comes up the lock screen, then I scroll up the screen, the phone is suddenly logged in, I see the home screen. Although I removed before the face unlock mode, or adjusted the pattern mode and the fingerprint mode. Example sometimes if the face unlock mode is on, and my friend get my phone, he can go to the home screen also without any security control, just with the swipe up at lock screen.
I tried to remove the face unlock mode, and turn on just the PIN instead of pattern, but it's no matter.
But sometimes the security identifications comes up (pattern or PIN).
Why does this work so?
Solved.
Can be delete the thread.
The problem was in the smart lock?
Stock Android One - 9 (MiA1)
So I had a password on my phone and a fingerprint lock. I used the fingerprint lock to unlock the phone and on restart it would ask me the password. All was good.
At some point I removed the screen lock altogether. I don't have a screen lock now and I'm able to enter the phone without prompt just fine even on boot,
Except, now I want to enable the screen lock again and it asks me to re-enter the password. Now the old password doesn't work and I could swear I didn't really touch it when removing the screen lock.
I'm able to do everything on my phone, except setup a screen lock. What is up here? And how do I setup a screen lock now or reset the password?
Not sure of the fix.
I got locked out of a PC bios like that ie the password spontaneously became corrupted.
I set passwords for accounts only, not devices and this illustrates why.
It may indicate a hardware failure or maybe just a firmware glitch. See if there's a default password for that model... a service center may be able to help.
