If you use or have used a touch-screen phone, you would have used the pattern lock. A pattern lock is a type of screen lock where you see 9 dots on the screen, arranged in 3 rows and 3 columns. You need to match the dots in the same pattern as you did while setting up the lock. The pattern is almost impossible to guess and hence is reliable to be used as your computer’s locking system.
