Galaxy S6: How do you disable the screen lock?

[Depeche Mark]

To get the "none" option back, I did these steps:
- Went to "Settings"
- Tapped "Search"
- Typed in the search area:: "Device Administrator"
- Selected "Device Administrators"
- There you'll find the list of what's there, including "Android Device Manager" which is "on"
- Turn "off" anything you see listed here including "Android Device Manager'
- As an extra thing, I also "cleared cache" for each of those things listed in the Device Administrator page by going to "settings", "applications", "application manger", "all", and finding the 3 extra things listed on my "Device Adminsistrator" page. (Android Device Manager is not listed under applications, so just look for anything else that's listed)
- Then i restarted the phone
- Then went back to "settings", "lock screen and security", "screen lock type", and all of the options were available to choose, including "none"...nothing was grayed out anymore.
- Then once I chose "none" for the screen lock, I went back to "device administrator" above and turned "on" everything i had turned "off"
- That's it

Re: Galaxy Grand Prim: How do you disable the screen lock?

I done the same but with the NFC app. I can't get it to turn off it's driving me crazy. I deleted the NFC app. and still can't turn it to NONE. Please help.

I have a grand prime and after tapping setting I don't see a search or a android device manager.
