located in the upper right corner.

2. Access the Security tab and select Development Mode. You will be shown the
next screen where you will have to activate developer mode by sliding your finger on the
option 'Use development mode'. Immediately a message will appear for you to
enter a password. This password will be requested from you later, so fill it in and
