Phone Security-very Important-Lock code for Factory reset option

VigneshVicky — Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:05:06 GMT

This is very Important security problem....I need response from sony Expert............

In all the phones we have factory reset option.....i want to make that option more secure....please add some lock codes for that option specifically....because if user had lost their phone,it can be reset by someothers somehow by finding the lock pattern(if the lock pattern was easy). If some secure code is given by phone manufacturer or an option to set lock code by user so that it cannot misuse by someone.....if user forgot password make it available by mail or sms to other numbers.

Even though sony haa Myxperia feature if someone reset the phone,the connected MAil account will be deleted.so we cannot trace the phone.....

so please consider it as important and give these option to future upcoming phones.....

If your phone is lost or stolen,anybody can access it after a software repair which will remove any kind of lock/pattern/password/PIN.
