A lock state cancelling program executable by a processor of a portable terminal having a touch panel and a touch operation detecting portion which detects a touch operation and capable of setting a lock state where predetermined processing based on a touch detected by the touch operation detecting portion is not performed, the lock state canceling program causing the processor to function as:

• a displaying portion which performs displaying of an object for canceling the lock state when the lock state is set;
• a determining portion which determines whether or not a touch operation by which the object is changed to predetermined displaying is performed with respect to the object;
• and
• a canceling portion which cancels the lock state when it is determined by the determining portion that the touch operation by which the object is changed to the predetermined displaying is performed.
