Removing ScreenLock Password - Galaxy Samsung S4

[Cmdan]

I had the same problem myself and sorted it out this morning, once you re-type your password you need to choose swipe screen or what ever you had before

FINALLY! This worked. YOU RAWK!! \,,/

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. Today I thought I would experiment with adding a password. No problem setting one, but I am finding it a real pain. So I decided to disable it. And I cannot. When I go into settings, and then into screen lock settings, I get only three choices. I can have a pattern, I can have a pin or I can have a password. The options of swipe and none are both greyed out. Is there any way to get them ungreyed out so I can enable swipe only? I tried rebooting the phone and that did nothing. I have changed the password 3 times and now have it set to a pattern, but I would prefer none.

How can i remove Screen look password Galaxy Samsung S4

 

[Akbar Ali5]

GO to settings> security (its only for S4, click more and find security option)>click "Clear Credentials" and now try to check your lock type.. go to settings again, click on my device, lock screen, put your pin number, you will see all the options again.

I also had problems with the "swipe" option being greyed out. The work around I used was to go to settings, My Device, type in "credentials" in search field, clear credentials, then go back into Screen Lock, enter pin/password then you are able to select "swipe"

Hope this helps.

Clearing the Credentials worked. I was able to change the lock option back to the swipe method. (Samsung galaxy s4)

Ah great I had same problem it's sorted thanks to ur post

 

[Khalad Goheer]

To Disable Lock screen, drove me crazy until someone advised: goto Settings, into More, Security, Clear credentials and walla, it now gives me an option under My Device, Lock Screen, where after putting in my lock "credentials", I had an option to "None", when before this was greyed-out.
Thanks

Re: Removing ScreenLock Password - Galaxy Samsung S4 Mini

Hello,

If you remember your Screen Lock PIN code and want to remove it, the method below worked for my device (Samsung S4 Mini, Android version 4.4.2)

Enter
'Settings'->'My Device'->'Lock Screen'

Then, in the 'Screen Security' tab, you will read 'Screen Lock: Secured with PIN', hit it, and you will be prompted to 'Confirm PIN'
Enter your Screen Lock PIN and hit 'Continue'

A new window with the tab title 'Select Screen Lock' is opened now and in the list below this tab,
'Swipe' is the first option to get rid of Screen Lock PIN requirement or you may choose whatever security caution enlisted you like,

Best regards,
q.

Thanks to rohan1991 for the "Clear Credential" tip and especially, Akbar Ali5 for the more detailed procedure.
To enable another temporary user of my mobile (Samsung Galaxy S4, Android 5.0.1 on Verizon), I also had to:

unlock screen with Pattern|PIN|Password
Settings (Personal) > Security (Credential storage) > Clear credentials
Settings (Personal) > Lock screen (Screen security) > unlock screen again with Pattern|PIN|Password

Then all choices were re-enabled in Settings (Personal) > Lock screen (Screen security) > Swipe|Pattern|PIN|Password|None

Goto Settings >Security and Select Clear Credentials and then your option will be available.
Good Luck!

I put a password on the screen lock but now want to revert to swipe


is it possible to remove the password without resetting to factory data?

Had to go to settings, more, security, remove credentials and then I was able to change my lock screen setting back to swipe.

 

[Rukbat]

Going to Lock Screen/Screen lock and setting it to none would work just as well - with a lot fewer stops along the way.

Please let me know if you found out how to do this.

Read the thread - that's what it's all about. Start at post #2.

 

[Blowfly06]

it's not giving me that option - all those options are greyed out

Mine's the same all greyed out
