Hello all, I am new to this forum so be patient with me. Below is the issue I am having. Thank you

I have a Galaxy S3 an added an Outlook account so I could receive my work email on it. Once I got it set up I found out that I would have to enter a passcode to get out of the lock screen. I do not want to do that so I deleted that account (went under setting to account and deleted it). After doing that I still have to enter the password. I have shut down my phone, went into lock screen settings and cannot figure out how to remove the password protection. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
 
When I change it to swipe all that happens is I swipe the screen then i go to the password prompt. It is driving me crazy!!!!
 
I was able to fix the lock screen issue. I went into setting- lock screen and then went to lock screen options. I put in an new passcode and then closed out that screen. Low and behold no more prompt for a password. I have no idea why that worked nor do I care.
