Title: adding password protection to factory reset?
Post by: manolowally on April 07, 2015, 08:43:17 AM

is it posible to add a security pin number to factory reset on android tablet/phone? ...avast mobile or anti theft root can do that? ...I mean adding/creating a pin so before someone try a factory reset on stolen tablet or cellphone a pin/password will be necessary first.

Don't forget that a factory reset will not remove/disable avast anti theft.

@manolowally
In AntiTheft - Advanced Settings - Protection Behavior there is a setting to "lock phone settings" in case the device is marked lost or stolen, and another setting to prevent USB debugging.
