Are you trying to keep prying eyes away from your Tab? If so the easiest thing to do is enable a screen lock that requires a challenge for access. Luckily Android offers three options that allow users to lock their devices, a pattern that is drawn on the screen, a numeric PIN number, and an alphanumeric Password. The guide below will show you how to enable the screen lock and will provide you with an example of each.
