Help Change Lock Screen - "Disabled by remote phone administrator"

[Calmor]

This is annoying me- When i try to turn off the pin lock i can't choose none. i see "Disabled by remote phone administrator"

I don't want a pin lock i just want the slide- is this a bug on my phone or is this a new thing that Verizon is enforcing?

Do you have exchange server or good messaging? Is this a company phone?

delete the Corporate Account, then the option will available to disable the PIN.
Then you can add the Corporate Account back and it shouldn't ask you for a PIN.

Doesn't work for me. If I disable the pin when the account is removed it comes right back after adding back the account.

If you don't mind using the non-Motorola email program you can download this slightly modified stock mail apk from the Nexus One. It has been modified to not require any pin for security. I just downloaded it and it works great, actually prefer it to the regular Droid X mail application.

You have to realize that your company is just trying to protect their data from being stolen or misused if your phone is lost. It's a pushed security policy.

[APP] **Updated 9/22/2010** Android Email.apk latest src code w/o Exchange security - xda-developers

He may need to be rooted to push that apk.

Hi guys, I removed my work email and the administrator rights for it and I still have only the high security lock options. All swipe and face lock etc is still disabled....very annoying.

Can you help?

Delete the security certificates first and you'll regain access to the low and medium security options
