Set a pin to turn off the phone - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi All,
I'm trying to set a pin to the phone so that when we need to turn off the phone then it will ask for the pin. Just wanted to know if this is possible in S7 edge.

How to disable the device lock

I keep getting the device lock keypad popping up whenever I power up my phone or every hour which is the setting I have. But now I want to disable it. I think it automatically got set due to an exchange server I was connecting to but now I don't need that anymore. The device lock setup won't let me clear the pin number. Is there a registry setting I could clear? Any help is appreciated.

Pattern lock no longer works

Hello everyone,
I hate it when my phone decides to call people all by itself. I've since found that my pattern unlock no longer works. It first happened with the CyanogenMod 4.2.9.1 and still happens now with 4.2.10.1.
I can disable the lock, edit a new pattern and re-enable it and it still chooses not to lock. Pressing the home key just brings me back to the home screen when the phone is asleep. It seems to remember the pattern as if I try and change it I need to get the old pattern right until it lets me make a change.
If anyone can help it will be much appreciated.

Secure Unlock question

S7 Edge on Sprint. Nougat, but this was the same on MM. I have Secure Unlock set to unlock the phone when connected to a particular BT device. That works, in that I don't have to use a fingerprint or PIN, but the phone still powers on to the lock screen, and I have to swipe to get to my last app. Is there any way to bypass this swipe and have the screen turn on directly to the last app?
Thanks.

Pin required when phone has been restarted

Hello, I was wondering if there is anyway to remove the "pin required when phone has been restarted" from the lock screen?
Turn screen lock off, then turn it back on again and it will ask you if you want your PIN to be required at bootup.
