Hey...
I was trying out some of the new functions in jelly bean on my Ace 2 and I stumbled over the VPN settings where I was prompted to define a password in order to enable the function. I had no idea what it was exactly, just wanted to try it out. Anyway, now the aforementioned password seems to be set as a lock screen password for some reason and I can't make it go away because in the VPN settings there are no profiles listed that I could edit or delete.....
How do I get rid of the password again?

I am having a nightmare of a time with the new Samsung Galaxy S 2, on AT&T. Initially it would not connect to Exchange 2010 using the built in account connector. A week later that now works, having changed nothing on my end. Now it connects OK, but will only allow me to set up a complex password on the device to unlock it [no PIN / swipe etc.] despite using the same policy as everyone else. On another Android I have [Atrix 4G] I can use the finger print reader, pin code & swipe pattern and switch between them fine. Our older WinMo 6.5 phones are working fine with pin numbers only. I am using the same Active Sync policy. The phone is set to lock after 10 minutes of inactivity, and I don’t want to leave it much longer than that if I can avoid it.
Ultimately I need to be able to set it up to do the swipe pattern, or at least the PIN number, some of our users need to make phone calls in the car & a complex password is not going to fly. I need the phone to sync with exchange for email, contacts, calendar & tasks, as well as the security features like full encryption & remote wipe [a must] and the recover lost password & failed logins functionality.
Any recommendations?
More Info
I created a separate Exchange ActiveSync policy. Enabled AN passwords and allow simple passwords. Rebooted devices & sysnc'd. Both were required to enter complex passwords. On the GS2 the only option was the complex password. On the Atrix the only options were the complex password & the fingerprint reader [though a complex password was required as the backup in case fingerprint was not available].
Removed requirement for AN password, still allowing simple passwords. Rebooted devices & sync'd. Now the Atrix will allow for a PIN, password & fingerprint. The SG2 will still only allow for a password.
Removed requirement for AN password and removed simple passwords. Rebooted devices & sync'd. Atrix will still allow for a PIN, password & fingerprint. The SG2 will still only allow for a password.
Removed password requirement completely [no Encryption or anything]. Rebooted devices & sync'd. Now both devices will allow for a PIN, password & nothing as well as the fingerprint on the atrix.
Turned encryption & simple password back on & now it requires a password on GS2, pin, password or fingerprint on the Atrix.
It seams that to enable encryption on the galaxy s 2 you must also use a complex password. :-(
any ideas how to get around this?
Settings -> lock+wallpaper.
There is no option to disable the password, but only to change password.
Does anyone know?
What I am asking is about "Set the keys and screen to lock automatically" mentioned here.

That's weird.. My device offers the option to disable the password. Its right abov the "Change Password" button...
Attached a photo as I am not sure how to take screenshots.
That's weird. I can toggle this option. Have you tried changing the password and then to disable it? Maybe there is some kind of policy that prevents you from disabling your password, if you're connected to an exchange server...
You are right.
I googled "windows phone exchange server lock security code" and see many discussing this.
If you sync with Exchange, you are hit by a Exchange policy (if the admin of the Exchange server hasn't disabled it) that narrow this down to 30 sec-15min

I think this is a standard thing with phones connected to an exchange server.
For security you have to have a lock code enabled.
It's not just with the Lumia 800
Trying to see if there is a program that will completely disable wifi and only re-enable it if a password is entered. would like to give android phone to daughter, but would only use wifi connection at my approval. She's a good kid, but I don't want to needlessly enable her to go and explore 'the world'...
I've searched around for an answer to this question, but I can't seem to find anything.
My office uses secured 802.1x wireless. When I try and connect, I get a message saying "You must set a lock screen PIN or password before you can use credential storage". Is there a way around this? I really don't want to set a PIN or password on my phone...
Set it, set up your connection, then change your lock back to None. It only needs the lock when it's initially creating the store. You can remove the screen lock once your credential store is set up.
Awesome. I figured it would be something simple.

This didn't work for me, it asks me to create a code (pattern, pin or password) if I want to create, for example, a VPN connection.
Then, lockscreen requires my code to unlock, and it doesn't allow me to change lock back to none because, it says, it's protected under a credential storage.
If I clear my credential storage it clears my saved connections. This was not an issue on stock and on
I noticed that when I upgraded to a new phone with ICS that I now have to enable lock screen security in order to store WiFi credentials. I know that this is an enhanced security feature, but I would still like to be able to bypass it. I'm not rooted at this time though. Is there an app or another work around that would allow me to bypass this security feature and not have to use the security feature from the lock screen?
Thanks,
Kevin
