How do I use a pattern to unlock the phone screen? Is there a way to set up my lock screen so that I can draw a pattern to unlock the phone? That way, only I can unlock it again.

If you want to be able to draw a completely random pattern, Cyanogenmod 6.2 has the option to draw any invisible Gesture to unlock the screen.
