Guys i dont know what to do anymore.... i have changed my screen lock to pin.... and from that moment it stopped asking for the pin on the screen lock (my phone can be unlocked simply by swiping the finger) but now i forgot that password cause i dont use it anymore an therefore i cannot change it cause i cant (type a whrong password 5 times on the lockscreen CAUSE THERE IS NO LOCKSCREEN or use the device mananger ) it doesnt work..... does anybody know how can i change this pin now?:-

Welcome to Android Central! If the phone is idle for long enough (like for an hour) and you come back to it, does it then ask for the PIN, or can you still unlock it with a swipe? If this is the case, then try using Android Device Manager to remotely lock it with a new PIN/password. This should work if the phone somehow thinks that a screen lock is not set; but if the phone does think it has a lock already set, then ADM won't do anything, and will tell you that since the phone is already locked, there is no need to remotely lock it.
