Anti-Theft Guide
You can set up your device to prevent other people from using 
it if it’s been reset to factory settings without your permission. 
For example, if your device is lost, stolen, or wiped, only 
someone with your Google account or screen lock information 
can use the device.
All you need to make sure your device is protected is:
•
Set a screen lock
: If your device is lost or stolen but you 
have a screen lock set, the device can’t be erased using the 
Settings menu unless your screen is unlocked.
•
Add your Google account on your device
: If your device is 
wiped but you have your Google account on it, the device 
can’t finish the setup process until your Google account 
information is entered again.
After your device is protected, you’ll need to either unlock 
your screen or enter your Google account password if you 
need to do a factory reset. This ensures that you or someone 
you trust is doing the reset.
 NOTE
• Do not forget your Google account and password you had 
added to your device prior to performing a factory reset. If 
you can’t provide the account information during the setup 
process, you won’t be able to use the device at all after 
performing the factory reset.
