Long press your phone to unlock...

Please insert your password to unlock phone...

After four attempts please wait for 60 seconds before trying again... 

Many of us are conversant with these situations. Some even go as far as seeking the services of mobile phone repairmen to help unlock the phone from the back end because they cannot remember the password of their phones, despite the fact that over the years, phone manufacturers have made efforts to simplify the art of securing the contents of our mobile phones by restricting the password to four characters only.

The reason for all these stress is to ensure the protection of owner’s information from prying eyes. Phones are so personal to their owners to the extent that some people feel incomplete and sometimes depressed without their phones.
