Encrypted my s5... now I can only use passwords to unlock screen??

Is there any possible way to undo this? I realize this is added security, but I really would like to go back to using a pattern to unlock?

Encryption limits your screen unlock to password and PIN, sometimes pattern (depending on the device). On most devices, you have to factory reset in order to decrypt (which obviously wipes your data). Can't remember if that's the case for the S5.

On the s6,you can decrypt without doing a factory data reset.
