Friends,
How can I remove the security password at boot-up? When I sync'd exchange to my device, it asked me for the password to protect my device.
I want to use a third party app and not the crappy M$ password feature.
Is this possible to remove?
Please advise!

That M$ password is the 4 digit or the alphanumerical password you setup when you first turned on your device. You can disable it by going to Settings>Personal>Delete everything in every field and uncheck "Prompt if device unused for" and you're good

true and I understand that... what if you have a outlook exchange profile that forces the password.. can you still turn it off after the sync with exchange?

I remember seeing a reghack to fix this.
The policy only used to refresh itself if you soft restarted the phone, or turned Direct Push off
I'll see if i can find the thread again
thanx...
i understand security is part of the protection but it's annoying...
I think if the security at startup could be configured gui based and have different ways for logging in, it would make the experience tolerable.

My phone is locked. now it requires my email and password but i entered the correct email and password but it keep saying wrong username or password.
my phone is on nova hd. please.. anyone could help me please?
Install screen lock bypass free android app. However its not recover your lost password, pattern, pin. It only skip lock-screen, but you can assess anything on your phone, including settings. If you uninstall the app its again start lock screen.

Hi All, Please if anyone else has problems adding an email account using the MS Exchange option in the stock Email app can you share a solution. I get prompted to add an Administrator access before the app searches for the server and it then always fails. The admin never shows up in settings security. I tried this for 3 Exchange servers, same issue.
Thanks...

I had the same problem, found it is due to it doesn`t prompt to set password. Go to setting and set the phone password before setup exchange account, then it will Work.

May be I have the same problem. If I want to setup an exchange account in Stock-Mail-App, there should be a dialog, in which I have to accept the creation of a "device admin" (i´m german, I hope thats the correct translation). But this dialog never appears anymore. At first time, the dialog was there and I could create my account. But later on, there is no entry visible in "Device Admins" for Stock-Mail and after a Restore of a Nandroid-Backup, I couldn´t create the exchange Account anymore, cause the dialog doesn´t appear.
So, may be ur solution could help me. But what do u mean with "phone password", where to set. Did u mean lock screen password or what else? Please give advice, where to set "phone password". Thanks in advance!
Yes, I mean the lock screen password.
On Samsung S2, after aceept the security setting of the Exchange server, it prompt to set the lock screen password, but doesn't seems to be happen on LG, so I go and set it manually and it works.

Besides, swipe or pattern may not work, need to be pin or password.

i knew the path of credentials
I wanna know how to work exactly with credentials
for example;
credential 1 >> is for A
credential 2 >> is for B
so if i clear "credential 2" B will change and ..............
I don't understand what your question is. Please try to explain a little more.
In case you ask what different "device administrators" do, that's up to the programmer of the app requesting the device administrator. My companys exchange server requests several rights, for example lock screen security, remote wipe ability etc. As long as this device administrator exists, I have to grant/do what it wants.
If there are several apps putting device administrators in place, you have to comply with ALL rules of ALL administrators. Example: if app A) wants pin or password and say another app B) only wants password, the tighter rule of app B) overrules app A).
Was that what you wanted to know?

thanks for explanation
But i want to know about each record in credential of system.
it happened for me; tried to setup vpn connection and system asked me to set high level security on lock screen, So i set pattern.
then i missed swipe-mode of lock screen.
THEN i cleared all credentials and then another lockscreen options enabled, SO i had swipe then pattern to unlock my phone.
Again; i made vpn connection and swipe mode disabled.
Now i wanna know What are the credentials that disabled swipe mode?!
AW: Credentials
Obviously the VPN connection.
When the program sets up the device administrator, you get a list of all the things it enforces. Lockscreen security should be one of those.
As I said, its dependant on the app and the server or service you connect to, it is not predefined by the device or by Android but by the IT, network or service administration personnel.
Example: My schools exchange server 2010 enforces alsmost nothing (any lockscreen, screen timeout) where my works exchange server 2010 enforces almost everything (pin strength, remote wipe, timeout, ...).

so wht!? when i use this vpn servers on another phones, and don have problem!
so it might be something on xperia Z !?
AW: Credentials
Then the other phone doesnt honour the vpn's security requirements. So Sony is actually doing a better job than "the other" although its annoying from your perspective.
Exchange security is also annoying for me I prefer a simple swipe lockscreen while our IT dept thinks we need a complicated pin to unlock. Thus I patched Sonys email app and exchange implementation to not honour the security needs of the server.
After upgrading to Android 6 and doing a factory wipe on my Nexus 6 it now requires me to use pin or pass locks so that I can add my exchange email accounts. I never like this as I am always checking my phone so to keep entering a pin is a pain. If I go into Device Administrators I can disable email but it deleted the email accounts.
Is there anyway I can disable/remove the use of a pin to unlock the phone but still have my exchange email accounts? Why has this suddenly changed in Android 6, it wasn't a requirement when I was running Lollipop?
Turn on Smart Lock either with a bluetooth connection or a location.
I can't, smart lock is greyed out

It is a requirement set by who ever runs your Exchange system, that is what I do for a living. Why you didn't see in on lollipop I can't answer, perhaps they just turned it on in Exchange. But that seems like a heck of a coincidence that they did it at the same time you upgraded. Maybe you set it up before they added the requirement and your phone didn't see the change until you wiped it and reset it up. That would surprise me to. Dunno.
What I do is I use the Nine email app for my Exchange account, it allows you to set the Exchange pin requirement to just that app. It is also much better on battery than using the Gmail app.
I run the mail server so I can tell you that I know for sure I didn't change anything on it. The mail server is Kerio Connect not Exchange by Microsoft. That's really odd if you say it is the server which sets that security policy because as I said until I upgraded I didn't have to use a pin

Check the settings for the ActiveSync policy in Kerio and see if it is turned on. I just tested my Exchange server with 6. If I turn it off in Exchange the phone does not require a pin/password. As soon as I turn it back on it requires one.

I've checked the settings and there is nothing enabled. I tried installing Nine and it worked fine without a pin but my trial has now ended and I don't want to have to pay for an app that I didn't use to need
Set a simple pattern lock in Settings > Security. Then set the Automatically lock to 30 minutes and turn off Power button instantly locks. Go into Smartlock and add a trusted device, like bluetooth headset, smartwatch, or other bt device. And/or add one or more trusted places. If in a trusted place or using a trusted device, you won't have to unlock. Also, it won't lock for 30 minutes after you unlock it if you have had to. These steps have allowed me to almost never have to unlock with my pattern.
