Encryption - Under the
Security section you have the option to encrypt your tablet. You can encrypt your accounts, settings, downloaded apps and their data, media, and other files. Once you encrypt your tablet, you need to type a numeric PIN or password to decrypt your tablet except by performing a factory data reset, erasing all your data.
Note: Encryption takes an hour or more. You must start with a charged battery and keep your tablet plugged in until encryption is complete. If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose some or all of your data.
