# Password

In addition to the recovery phrase and Passphrase, the other options are a text password, pattern unlock, and fingerprint sensor (sensor only available on the Keystone Pro model): 

* The text password can be used to unlock the screen, signs transactions and enter your Passphrase Wallet. 
* The pattern unlock can be used to unlock the screen and also be used to reset the text password. 
* The fingerprint sensor can be used to unlock screen, signs transactions and enter the Passphrase Wallet. It may also be used to reset the system password.

## Important note

After 12 incorrect attempts using the pattern unlock option, users will be required to unlock their devices with the text password. 

After 5 incorrect attempts to unlock your device with the text password option, the device will automatically wipe itself of all data.

If your device is wiped in this way, please be advised that your Keystone can only be restored with the recovery phrase. The system password can also only be reset by entering the recovery phrase. 

{% hint style="info" %}
If both the text password and recovery phrase are lost, all assets will be irretrievable. This is a preventative measure against theft.
