A method for unlocking a lock screen in an electronic device includes displaying a lock screen in which objects of the On and Off state have been randomly disposed, detecting a gesture for unlocking the lock screen, determining whether or not a first unlocking value generated in response to the gesture is identical with a predetermined second unlocking value, and unlocking the lock screen if the first unlocking value is identical with the second unlocking value.
