Help Optimus S PIN

[samaruf]

A buddy of mine got this phone and everything was going well for him until today when he decided to add corporate exchange e-mail on his phone. Now he has to enter a pin number every time the phone comes back from sleep. He deleted the corporate email account but the PIN is still enabled. Do you guys know if there's a way to get rid of the PIN entry? He doesn't care for corporate email if it's going to make him enter a 5-6 digit PIN number every time.

Hopefull the exchange policy that required the pin is no longer in effect once the exchange account was deleted.

If it's not somehow locked out he should be able to shut it off by going to Settings-->Location & Security-->Setup screen lock.

Thanks for the link but it seems the Optimus requires rooting to get the PIN deactivated. I'm not sure my buddy is ready to do that yet. He has deleted the exchange e-mail account but the e-mail app will not let him change the PIN settings.
