Lockscreen Greyed Out

Hi googled the we already and were not able to find a solution.
My LockScreen Option are all except Password greyed out. I had the phone encrypted and the group policy from my company applied to it before. Now I remeved the Group Policy App, removed the corporate Google Apps account and decrypted the phone. No encrypted SD card is inside.
I erased the Credential Storage and check that there is no additional Admin configure. Neither is any VPN Connection.
Phone is not rooted and runs Android 4.1.1.
Any idea?

[Q] Can I install an apk when locked out of phone?

Hi everyone,
I was trying out the Pattern Lock feature on my HTC Incredible S and got locked out after too many incorrect attempts.
I can't use my email address and password to verify my account as my data and wifi are switched off.
To get around this problem, I've transferred to my microSD card the XtraSec apk that will allow me to remotely switch on wifi and data. However, I'm not sure how to trigger the installation of the apk when I can't get past the lock screen
Can I use fastboot to access the file explorer app (ES file explorer) or apk installer app to get the apk to install?
I haven't rooted the phone and it's running the latest version of Android. I'm not sure if I have USB debugging enabled.
I'd like to avoid doing a reset if possible coz I haven't backed up the things that aren't on the sd card.
Hoping someone can help me :fingers-crossed:
With out being rooted your stuck without factory resetting

[Q] Lock screen options disabled - fresh ROM

I have a fresh install (wiped data/dalvik/system x2) of fre3, wiped dalvik after, and I cannot change my lock screen settings. PIN and password are available, but do not change when I attempt to enable either. All I have on this is my google account. No VPN, credentials cleared. SD card is NOT encrypted.
Same issue occurred on kitkatkiller rom.
Anyone have any ideas?
As it turns out, I loaded an NAB stock ROM, which, after reinstalling TWRP and fre3 all is well now.

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.
