Is that possible?
No unless they have MDM installed. If your company uses a mobile device managment software like air watch as example they can. You would usually know if you had MDM because you would see software installed on your phone or you are forced to setup and enter password to unlock your phone even though you didn't set it to behave like that.

How do I know if my phone has MDM software on it? My phone is encrypted because of AES activesync.
I do have to enter a pin and when I go to screen lock settings, some of the options are disabled by administrator,encryption policy, or credential storage.
Sounds like you have MDM. Can you disable the pin code or no? If you cannot then MDM is controlling your phone.

Okay, my HD2 yesterday forgot my unlock passcode, I have not installed any version of sype, and running 1.66 WWE stock Rom. My Exchange Server security policies forces a passcode.
What i have found (tested) is that an option in BsB Tweaks is causing the problem.
The option that is causing this (or at least for me) is 'Owner Information - show or hide owner in settings'
When enabled, with the show notes, your Owner information and notes are displayed when you wake the phone (before slide to unlock) I wanted this option because it gives you a slightly better chance of recovering your phone if it gets lost.
It works well initially, then for some reason it fails to show, restart the phone and BANG, your passcode wont work!! I have experimented this and it happens every time.
Thought I'd let you all know my findings, and hopefully this bug can be ironed out.
regards
Paul
I've tested it some more today, and I'm pretty sure that it is the Owner info. Going to leave it off now, but would definitely want this feature fixed As i said before it does give me a slightly better chance in getting it back if it gets lost!
Have you tried using the Recovery Password from the Outlook Web Access for your exchange server?
It's not the Exchange password that gets forgotten, it the unlock code for the phone!!! You just cant unlock the phone, hard re-set is the only option!!
Its a know problem for some people that install sype! Same thing your passcode just will not work

You can use the EMC, the Shell, or Microsoft Office Outlook Web App to recover a device password.
You can require a device password through Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync policies. A user can configure a device password even if your Exchange ActiveSync policies don't require one. If users forget their password, you can obtain a recovery password using the EMC or the Shell. The recovery password unlocks the device and lets the user create a new password. Users can also recover their device passwords by using Outlook Web App.

Is what I think you are looking for.
It forces me to set a password before I can use the VPN. How stupid is that? I don't want a password. I googled a lot but no one is posting this. Am I doing anything wrong? Please help me. I'm on Nexus S 4.0.3. It says that the VPN is credential storage.

It's sort of security. As you also can't save vpn passwords.
No. You can save passwords on ICS. I don't want the unlock password. If Anyone can help?

My brother installed on his phone credentials to access the Wifi network at the university. The politics of ICS requires to put password in the lockscreen.
From what I looked, he must create an administrator of the device, but how is this done? Is there any way to keep credentials but without the lockscreen password?
anyone?
Some apps may require changing the security settings on the phone.
Corporate email accounts and stuff like that may require the phone to have minimum security settings like unlock screen password.
You either set it on, or you can't use it, AFAIK.

so no possibility to bypass that security?
Furthermore, the GALAXY Note 3 is equipped with an improved Find My Mobile feature that allows users to disable the phone when it is stolen or lost. With the enhanced user authentication, the technology prevents stolen mobile phones from being reset to factory settings, and allows users to remotely track or erase the data from their lost or stolen mobile phones.

as title says I cannot make VPN work. I tried its app and manual setup. I have subscription to it. I have unrooted stock rom. Can anyone help me?
It was working on my cyanogen modded note 1.
Not had any problems setting up a VPN. I take it you have setup your lock screen.
If they have the Open VPN files try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn
You don't need a lock screen password setup with that.

Maybe your device needs to be registered with HMA to be able to log in, or you already have another device logged in.
Personally I use Hide.Me, they allow multiple devices to be logged in using different credentials. And unlike HMA, they do not keep any records of your activity.
