It is really annoying to use vpn in ics because of the password protection lock so is there a way to use swipe lock while vpn services active??

You don't necessarily need to use a password. I use a vpn with just pattern unlock set.
However, I believe that pattern unlock is the minimum level of security required for vpn access.

Fix to remove pattern/pin/password requirement for VPN
Hey,
theres a bit of a ghetto work around that i found for this annoying requirement on the new galaxy s 3.
First set up your VPN and the required pattern lock. Then you log in to samsungdive.com and press unlock my screen. This will trick the phone to not use the pattern unlock.
Just set your pattern lock to be a straight line from left to right (or right to left) on the bottom-most line.
That's very similar to a swipe lock.

Thats great !!! It's work.
No more password (of any kind) lock for the screen in order to use VPN acces!!
Thanks
Update:
Unfortunately, afther a reboot, there is no way to acces to VPN without setting a pass lock. Any idea how to permanently acces to VPN without the lock screen pass lock?
how about this? "VpnROOT - PPTP - Manager"

I have stock rom 4.1.2 (Spain release) on Samsung Galaxy S2. Do this:
- set VPN connection regulary
- set lock pattern
- set backup PIN
- turn off display to lock phone
- press HOME button (phone will ask for pattern now)
- enter WRONG pattern five times
- phone will ask for backup PIN code
- enter CORRECT backup PIN code
...and no more password protection lock when use VPN
:laugh:

Hey I had set VPN on my Micromax a 108 now I don't know the password and I have entered 3 times wrong password is there any way to reset it.My phone is rooted can I get password from system folders plz reply
I Searched forum but did not find anyone to post this. If this is double post I excuse myself in advance but...
As you know when you insall certificate you have to use more secure way to unlock screen (Pettern, Password, PIN) and you can't use by default less secure unlock which is also swipe which I want to use even if I have certificate installed.
By the way I installed certificate for bank access.
Ok so yesterday I played with pattern to unlock my screen and I tried what if I use more than 5 wrong patterns.
As you probably all know if you unlock it five times or more you have to lock or you have possibility to unlock it with PIN which you had to type when you set pattern:
and when you try five wrong pattern you have possibility to use pin to unlock:
after you click on click on forgotten pattern you can unlock it with pin:
and voila you have swipe to unlock screen even if you have installed certificate.
Access with certificate will work until restart of phone, after that you have to insert pin for certificate store to work again or repeat steps.
Does anybody has better solution?
But probably this is a bug
So nobody has cert on phone?

Hello, I have a problem, few days ago I added two more fingerprints and then added new password, today my phone turned off, and then when i started it, i cant remember my password anymore, I know that i can do factory reset, but I have a lot of pictures with my family and that stuff... And i know i can unlock it with my samsung id when i go to found my mobile but i cant go in, samsung says that password or id is wrong but i changed password and i dont know where is the problem...
I hope you can help me :/
Have a nice day! sorry for bad english

You can't remember your password? Keep trying. Otherwise a factory reset seems like the only option
