Instructions
Step 1
Any mobile phone is equipped with a keypad lock / unlock function. The only exception are phones in the form of "clamshell", which do not require locking the keys, as they are initially protected from accidental unplanned pressing on them. Phones with an open dial pad are subdivided into physical and touchscreen phones.
Step 2
Typically, to unlock keys from a physical keyboard, you need to type a specific combination. This combination is the same as the combination required to lock the keyboard. Often, to unlock, you need to press and hold a specific key, which has a special keyboard lock symbol. Or a combination of two keys performs this function. As a rule, these are the keys *, # and the "Menu" key in various variations.
Step 3
Touchscreen phones are characterized by the presence of only three keys - "Call acceptance", "Menu", "Call rejection", or the presence of one "Menu" key. These buttons are locked along with the mobile phone screen. In order to unlock a touchscreen phone, a visual key is provided on its screen. As a rule, this key has a pattern of a lock symbol (often it is a "lock"). On some phone models, you must press and hold this key for a few seconds. On others, move the key up. Also, the mobile phone can support both types of unblocking. In this case, in the "Settings" you can choose any of the proposed types, which seems most convenient for you.
Step 4
Some modern brands of touch screen mobile phones offer their users a more serious and better way to disable the phone lock. For this purpose, a specific shape must be drawn on the screen. It could be a zigzag line, for example. This type of unlocking a touchscreen phone is the most reliable, as it excludes accidental pressing.
