screen times out every few seconds regardless of settings

[Android Central Question]

Android screen times out every few seconds regardless of the settings I put it on. This is after a factory reset initiated following failed password attempts on my phone had recently been attempted. Can someone tell me how to get the screen to stay on by itself now?
