Abstract
During a touch operation for setting authentication information, authentication information is generated based on data input in accordance with a touch position of a touch operation performed on a touch panel and touch pressure applied to the touch panel by the touch operation. At the time of accepting a touch operation for unlocking an information processing apparatus, a combination of data input in accordance with a touch position of a touch operation performed on a touch panel and touch pressure applied to the touch panel by the touch operation are compared with authentication information. When a result of the comparison is a match, the information processing apparatus is unlocked and execution of various functions is allowed.
