Summary:A method of unlocking software including providing an electronic device having a processing unit and a gesture input device connected therewith. Detecting an input gesture operable to initiate password entry, wherein the electronic device is in a software locked state, and randomly assigning a predefined set of input gestures to a predefined set of password symbols. The method of unlocking software additionally includes detecting one of the assigned input gestures via the gesture input device and comparing the entered password symbols, corresponding to the detected input gestures, to a stored unlock password via the processing unit. Further, where the entered password symbols match the stored unlock password, the method enables operation of the electronic device in a software unlocked state.
