Fingerprint – place your registered finger on the power key to unlock your device
It is very important that you remember your screen unlock pattern, PIN or password. If you
forget this information, it may not be possible to restore important data such as contacts and
messages.
If you have set up a Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® (EAS) account on your Xperia™
device, the EAS security settings may limit the lock screen type to only a PIN or password.
This occurs when your network administrator specifies a specific lock screen type for all EAS
accounts for enterprise security reasons. Contact the network administrator of your company
or organisation to check what network security policies are implemented for mobile devices.
