why do I no longer have the option turn off my pattern screen lock

used to be able to change my pattern lock or turn it on and off but no longer have the option it is just stuck on lock which is annoying every time I have to use my phone I tried doing a factory reset but that did not help

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Did you encrypt it? Do you use it on a corporate network?

If you go to Settings>Security>Screen Lock, do you see options for "None" or "Slide," but they're greyed out?
