== Steps ==
# To change the lock-screen security type, we need to tap the gear-shaped icon on the home screen. This will allow us to access our "Settings" panel. [[Image:change_lock_screen_security_to_pin_on_lenovo_a7000_smartphone.mp4-canvas15_925357.jpg|center]]
# If we don't have the gear-shaped icon, we simply swipe down from the top of the phone. [[Image:change_lock_screen_security_to_pin_on_lenovo_a7000_smartphone.mp4-canvas18_758228.jpg|center]]
# We swipe down from the top again. [[Image:change_lock_screen_security_to_pin_on_lenovo_a7000_smartphone.mp4-canvas20_508452.jpg|center]]
# Then, we tap the gear icon. One tap on the gear icon opens the "Settings" panel. [[Image:change_lock_screen_security_to_pin_on_lenovo_a7000_smartphone.mp4-canvas23_046968.jpg|center]]
# We tap the "Lock screen" icon towards the bottom. The icon is green and has a padlock. Once we've tapped on "Lock screen", we will be taken to the "Lock screen" panel. [[Image:change_lock_screen_security_to_pin_on_lenovo_a7000_smartphone.mp4-canvas29_228504.jpg|center]]
# We tap "Screen lock" under "SCREEN SECURITY". [[Image:change_lock_screen_security_to_pin_on_lenovo_a7000_smartphone.mp4-canvas40_281524.jpg|center]]
# Now, we tap the fourth option, "PIN". One tap on "PIN" will open up the PIN panel. We will want to enter a PIN that is easy for us to remember. However, it must be difficult for someone to guess it. [[Image:change_lock_screen_security_to_pin_on_lenovo_a7000_smartphone.mp4-canvas45_017236.jpg|center]]
# We enter a PIN. In our case, we will use the short form for the VisiHow web site: "visi". We'll just find the letters on the keypad and enter "visi". That will make the PIN 8474. [[Image:change_lock_screen_security_to_pin_on_lenovo_a7000_smartphone.mp4-canvas65_777252.jpg|center]]
# Now, we tap the arrow at the bottom one time. [[Image:change_lock_screen_security_to_pin_on_lenovo_a7000_smartphone.mp4-canvas78_770746.jpg|center]]
# We are required to confirm our PIN. In this video, 8474 was used earlier. We enter it. [[Image:change_lock_screen_security_to_pin_on_lenovo_a7000_smartphone.mp4-canvas82_718166.jpg|center]]
# We tap the arrow one more time. This will confirm setting the PIN. [[Image:change_lock_screen_security_to_pin_on_lenovo_a7000_smartphone.mp4-canvas89_780372.jpg|center]]
# In order to test the setting, we need to press the power button one time. One press will lock our phone. [[Image:change_lock_screen_security_to_pin_on_lenovo_a7000_smartphone.mp4-canvas97_940874.jpg|center]]
# We press the power button again. We will unlock the phone. We will be on the lock screen. [[Image:change_lock_screen_security_to_pin_on_lenovo_a7000_smartphone.mp4-canvas101_695314.jpg|center]]
# In order to unlock the phone, we swipe the lock up from the bottom. [[Image:change_lock_screen_security_to_pin_on_lenovo_a7000_smartphone.mp4-canvas105_634799.jpg|center]]
# We will be asked to enter our PIN. We enter our PIN. It is 8474 in this video. [[Image:change_lock_screen_security_to_pin_on_lenovo_a7000_smartphone.mp4-canvas111_362453.jpg|center]]
# Once the PIN has been successfully entered, we tap the checkmark. A single tap on the checkmark will unlock our phone. [[Image:change_lock_screen_security_to_pin_on_lenovo_a7000_smartphone.mp4-canvas116_994109.jpg|center]]
