The first thing you are going to need to do is to make sure that your phone is unlocked and turned on
.
If you have a preexisting pattern, swipe or pin. To do that, the first we'll want to do is press the power button. In this example, I'm going to turn the button off so that you can see what the phone looks like when it's off. Now we're going to press the power button one time. This is going to turn the screen on. If you know the pattern or lock pattern, you will need to enter it here or PIN code. If you don't, then we'll proceed to set up swipe. To set up these options, you'll need to take the following steps.
You can access the settings panel by swiping down from the notification screen and tapping on the settings icon which is at the top, it looks like a gear. This will open the settings window. Alternatively, let me press the home button to return to the main screen. You can also press the apps button. If you press the apps button one time you will also find the setting button. This looks just like a gear-shaped icon, the same as it did in the notifications panel. Just like the steps previous in the notifications panel, you will tap settings one time.
Under quick settings, which is the very first setting you will find, you will see an option for lock screen. Simply tap lock screen one time. When you tap lock screen one time you will see that in my case I now have screen lock set to none. To change that, tap screen lock one time. When you tap screen lock you will now see that there is a selection of options. We have a total of six different options. None, which is at the bottom and was previously set, and then swipe, pattern, PIN, password, and fingerprint.
In this tutorial, we're going to show you how to set up swipe
.
To set up swipe, simply press the swipe key one time. Once you've done that, you'll have the option to select home screen settings. To select lock screen setting, such as screen lock, dual lock, clock size, show the date, camera shortcuts, owner information, unlock effect (if you have it available),additional information you may want to present, and the option for help text which will provide an indicator letting you know what you should or shouldn't do in the event you are attempting to unlock the phone or having difficulties. At any rate, once you've tapped swipe your screen will now be set to the swipe screen lock. Simply press the home button to get back to the home screen and then once again press the power button one more time.
After this, press the power button a second time to open to your lock screen
.
As you can see now, we have it set to the lock screen mode. You can simply swipe across the screen to unlock. Again, press the lock button. Press the lock button again and you'll be able to swipe across the screen to open or unlock it.

Steps
1
To start with, we need to make sure that your phone is unlocked, and on the home screen
.
If you are not at the home screen, and your screen is locked, or Dark, and looks like this.
Once we are on the home screen, we will need to navigate to Settings option, where we will select the lock screen method, so that we can change our lock screen to something more secure
.
In this example, we are going to swipe down to open the Notification Panel, this will allow us to select the Settings option, which is the gear shaped icon on the top right of the phone.
You will notice on the bottom right hand side, where I am currently pointing at, that there is a checkerboard icon called Apps, this is a shortcut for the Applications menu on your phone
Swipe until you find the Settings icon, it is a gear shaped icon, and usually has a blue circle, however, depending on your individual phone Settings, it may appear somewhere differently
That is going to give me an option to choose Swipe, Pattern, PIN, Password, Fingerprint or None
.
In this example, I am going to choose PIN, which is a Medium to high security setting for the lock screen of your Samsung Galaxy phone, one press on PIN.
However, as a general rule, it is recommended that you choose a stronger PIN
.
Many times, if you find that you have trouble remembering a PIN, there are certain shortcuts that you can use, such as using the letters of the word, or another option. For example "VisiHow", I might use the four letters Visi, so I will press 8 for the letter V, 4 for the letter I, then I will press 7 for the letter S, and 4 for the letter I, that will give me a short PIN for Visi, which most people wouldn't naturally guess, unless they knew they were trying to unlock the phone belonging to Visi. In your case there are number of other short words or options that you can choose. Additionally you can add more letters in this case, 4 for H, 6 for O, 9 for W. Now I have gone from a four numbers PIN, to seven numbers PIN, which is considerably more secure. I have simply typed VisiHow, which I can see on any Keypad with any series of numbers, on my smart phone, making it very easy for me to quickly and easily unlock my phone, without actually having to remember a number. As for this tutorial, I am going to choose a simple PIN, 1234, then tap on done.
