Finally figured out how to bypass that annoying email/password screen, i think this could help many peoples who do not want to Hard reset their gphone :
- Make a call to your gphone and respond.
- Just after closing the call, push repeatedely on "Home" button and there you are,
it works ... but it's not the case, we have some other things to do ...
- First, go to settings and disable that buggy Unlock Pattern feature.
- The problem is not yet solved, the buggy login/pass screen is still here hidden
somewhere, and will go back if you put your phone on sleep mode (disable screen
autoshutdown to keep your phone awake and your time with next tricks.
- Go to the gmail website and reset your password with a new one.
- After few seconds (you could also force a mail sync) Android will show you a small
triangle on the top status bar to warn you that you have to re-enter the new password
you have setup on gmail. After entering the new password, sync with google will be ok.
You can after that push the power to go back to that crappy email/password screen and
enter your email and new password, but that time the authentication will be
successful and your Android will be completely unlocked.
Hope this helped a lot of users like me.... give me feedback if it worked...
And sorry for my crappy English..
Any one know how to completely disable the default SE lock screen.
I never use it, but it some times pops up unannounced over 3rd party lock screens. like lock bot pro, or WP7 lock.
Iv tried "No lock" and "No lock screen" applications, but it still occurs.
Anyone know any .xml hacks or anything to disable it fully ?
You can disable it with Widgetsoid2.x
Tried that it still keeps creeping up.
Id rather just permanently disable it.
But have no idea how.
No lock
I tried "No Lock", but isn't working with exchange.
I am with Xperia Neo 2.3.3
no one hav any ideas. lol
Why don't you just use WidgetLocker?
widgetlocker has the same problem, the stock lockscreen pops up sometimes

Really? The stock lockscreen only pops-up upon reboot, at least in my device. We are all using an Arc here right?
Widgetlocker can't help
Widgetlocker can't help me. It can't stop SE lock screen or pin lock.
I am whit Xperia Neo Android 2.3.3 and Exchange.

It can't help me to avoid screen LOCK or PIN lock.
I am whit Xperia NEO 2.3.4 and EXCHANGE
Can't disable the default lock screen.
No PIN lock and exchange - email
Everything is so simple. Why nobody don't tell my.
1 - remove all Accounts from Email dependent with MS Exchange.
2 - from Settings/Location&security/Select device administrators, remove email (exchange)
3 - from Settings/Location&security/set up screen lock, select none ( no pin, no pattern, no .....)
4 - then install "Enhanced Email" from market and use it instead of detault email client for all accounts.
Enjoy !?!

No matter what you do and whatever email client you use, if the email client fully supports MS Exchange then it will prompt for password to get into the email program (minimum) and the setting is from Exchange server and not at the client end.

Yes. You are right, but is not necessary to enter the PIN, every time when I UNLOCK the screen.
My sis in law forgot her lock pattern on her phone, and is locked out of her phone. She doesn't remember her gmail address to unlock the phone that way. She doesn't want to do a factory restore because she wants to keep her texts. It is an unrooted, stock droid pro. Is there any way to bypass or disable the pattern lock permanently or at least long enough to save her texts to an SD card before doing a hard reset?
Hi guys! First time posting here and would like to request for some assistance regarding my problem with the new Kitkat 4.4.2 update. As the title suggests, ai can't get to select other screen lock options, aside from the "Secured with Password". Swipe, signature and pattern options are greyed out, as shown in the attached pic. How can I reactivate the other passlock options? Entering only the password is too much hassle for me. Thank you very much?
Don't ask me, because I don't know why, but it's like that and that's the way it is.

Ok. Thanks for uplifting my spirits up. Anymore people out there to help with my problem?
cmon, it even tells you why you cant use the other options. cant you even try to google it ?
turned off by administrator, blah blah blah...
Either you have encrypter your phone, or you have exchange mail service or the device admin disabled it(as it already says)
Since I set new pin I can't set it to no password. It says "turned off by administrator encryption storage or credential storage". Clearing certifications doesnt help.
Type 5 times wrong pin, then you should be able to disable it by typing additional password you've set before.

I can get into phone but I can't disable password. The option "no password" is gray and it's described - "turned off by administrator encryption storage or credential storage"
Strange. I have the same problem. I've just tried to unlock with wrong pattern till 30 seconds blokade. After this time I used PIN instead. It disabled pattern lock and set password to None. The option is still grey/disabled but there is no password and swipe lockscreen only. After swipe unlock, statusbar shows message "Secure screen lock needed". Crazy. Then I set pattern and the message is still here.
After restart it reverted to the previous state - Password None is grayed out. I use pattern. The message has gone.

It started on B574. Maybe an app messed up something. I tried some privacy solutions at that time.

Try Settings > Advanced > Security > Device Administrators. Then deactivate or mark everything as 'Inactive' here.
Doesn't work. Nothing active is there.
Advanced settings>> security>> clear credentials ...
doesn't work
