Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for activating an electronic device. The electronic device includes a user interface and a task application in communication with the user interface, wherein the task application compares a user action received through the user interface to the primary task answer and activates the user interface inactive mode if the user action matches that of the primary task answer. In addition, the task application may be configured to apply the user action in generating a subsequent primary task including selecting a degree of difficulty for the subsequent primary task intended to enable a user to activate the electronic device within a target range of time.
