How To Set Screen Lock Type To PIN, Password / Pattern On Samsung Galaxy S25 / S25 Ultra

Setting or changing your screen lock type on a Samsung Galaxy device—whether it's the Galaxy S25, S25 Ultra, or any older model—is an essential step to securing your data and personal information. Samsung offers a variety of lock types including PIN, password, pattern, swipe, fingerprint, and facial recognition. This tutorial walks you through how to configure or update your lock screen method quickly and securely. To begin, open the Settings app on your Galaxy phone. Scroll down and tap on Security and Privacy. In this section, you’ll find all the options related to your device’s security, including screen lock settings. Tap on Screen Lock. If you already have a lock set, you’ll be prompted to enter it first to access the lock type options. Once inside, you can choose your preferred lock type. Options include None, Swipe, Pattern, PIN, or Password. If you want added biometric security, you can also enable Fingerprint Recognition or Face Recognition from the same section. For example, to change your lock from PIN to Pattern, simply tap on Pattern, draw your preferred pattern, tap Continue, confirm the same pattern, and then tap Confirm. After applying this, your phone will require the new pattern instead of the previous lock method the next time you unlock it. This is especially helpful if you want quicker access with a swipe or pattern, or tighter security with a password. The process is consistent across all Samsung phones running One UI, so you can follow the same steps regardless of your model or Android version.
