[Q] problem with VPN setting lock password for credential storage in setting menu - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello to all...
I hope the thread is well written.
GT-I9300
Android MC3 4.1.2
JKAY MOD
PHILZ TOUCH CWM
themed with Dream Themes by orangerot
all the rest is stock
what is going wrong:
1. I set up VPN connection with lock screen pin
2. all right for the last 2 days
3. now I want to configure a new VPN
4. I want to enter VPN settings (in settings "More Settings" in "wireless and network"
5. it's not possible, it's asking a password for credential storage...
6. i know the PIN I have entered to unlock the lock screen
7. after trying 3 times with false password it want to reset/erase the credential storage
8. I restarted phone and after, no pin is needed anymore... I'm really confused...
credential storage -> (what is this?) (is this a problem if it will be erased?)
Someone knows how to solve without a hard reset?
I'm searching in web and XDA but I can't find a solution...

I've solved.
Was very simple - found the solution on a German Forum.
Simply reset credential storage.

Just in case anyone else reads your thread with the same question. You are talking about clear credentials under security right?

yes or insert 4 times the wrong password in vpn settings, it doesn't give any problems.
after this you have to restart with vpn settings, because all vpn connections are lost and you have to give a new pin/password for access/activation to the credential storage.

Disable the screen lock security - from pattern, pin or whatever go to none.
Now you will have no VPNs or another things which might demand security, but you are able to setup them again.

Guys need help . I have note 3 neo and when I open "vpn" it shows "enter creditional storage password " how to solve that.?

Just go to the lock screen settings and set a new screen lock...
Like pin, pattern, password but not swipe, that's it.

[Q] settings > more VPN > "type the password for credential storage" ?
Hi, everyone.
I recently upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S III (gt i9300) with the Android 4.3 update and am having a bizarre issue. I went to add a new VPN and it began prompting me for a password to access credential storage! First off I have no idea what this is so I googled it and only found a few forum posts (they were back from the ICS days!) but not much else. Everyone said just to get it wrong so many times and it would reset itself just erasing any old VPN settings so I sat there and typed in random garbage 3 times until it said it has erased credential storage but it still keeps prompting me for a password and when I type something in it just keeps giving me a small pop up over the keyboard saying credential storage erased! I have never entered any type of credential password and I tried all of my standard set of pwds with no luck!
Is there some sort of generic key I am missing? Please help!
Solved.

I've realized that it is directly related with the type of screen lock you have. I disabled the PIN I had, and I could regain access to the VPN settings, although it asked me to provide one type of lock screen PIN or password in order to use credential storage.

I have the same issue
I'm not a tech guru, but I had this problem: I have an old phone with photos that I'm not longer using with data, but I had some locked photos in there and I could not access them when I tried to put in my current gmail password or that pin I remember while using wifi, since it's not using data. Even though I would go on my pc and type in my password/email and log in..it just wasn't registering for this phone.
What worked: 1. Wifi connection---installed all software updates
2. I turned off 2 step verification from my email through my PC
3. I then also turned ON the Allow less secure apps feature
4. After this I was successfully able to sign on to my email account from the email app on my phone.
Then I tried again to put in my current password and email from the locked pictures--- and it signed me on...and allowed me to change my password/pattern/pin and I could then access the pictures.
I hope this helps someone bc this took me over 12 hours to figure out.

samsung s4 - unlock encryption

Hi all,
I just tryed to add a company account to my phone. During this process I was asked to add a new Administrator. Just after confirm, the phone unmonted the SD card and wanted to encrypt the phone. How to reverse?
The phone is still not encrypted and I don't want the encryption. But I cannot mount my SD card without encryption and I cannot change any security setting (only password is available as lock screen - till now I have a PIN). And, I cannot clear the certificate memory (Clear credentials is grayed).
I removed the exchange account, but this does not help.
I'm using a stock GT-I9506 with 5.0.1
Thanks for any help.
solved
I fount the solution. After selecting password as lock screen I started the encryption. During the last confirmation I aborted. After that all was like before.

Encrypted Android no longer asks for desencryption password...

Hi everyone,
A month ago, I encrypted my phone (Galaxy S5 Plus - kccat6) currently under LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1.0) and TWRP 3.2.3-0.
Normally, after the encryption, when I started my phone, I would get a password request to decrypt my phone before launching Android. Access to TWRP was also password protected.
However, for a week now, for no apparent reason, I no longer have any password requests at startup and TWRP no longer asks for a password either.
In the "Security and Confidentiality" section, under "Encryption and identifiers", the phone is always indicated as encrypted... so it's impossible to request the encryption of my data again. At the same time, when I use Trust (integrated with LineageOS), it says "Encryption : Disabled".
I don't understand it. I did nothing in particular to have the encryption deleted.
Do you have any idea what to do to recover the encryption on my phone? And eventually why I may have lost the encryption?
Thank you in advance
OK I found a solution. It seems that it's a bug well known since many versions of Android. Strange that it has not been corrected...
Here's what helped me to fix the problem (found here : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37010136 )
How to reproduce:
1. Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Switch Access
2. Enable Switch Access service
3. Go to Security -> Screen lock
4. Incorrect warning text appears under Pattern, PIN, and Password options
How to fix
1. Go to Security -> Screen lock
2. Select one of Pattern, PIN, and Password options
3. Select "Require pattern to start device" on the next UI
4. Finish setup
5. Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Switch Access
6. Enable Switch Access service
7. Incorrect text ("If you turn on Switch Access, your device won't use your screen lock to enhance data encryption") on the prompt. It's incorrect and misleading because "Require pattern to start device" is already set and screen lock will apear on start up.
