BB (RIM) :: 8800 How To Disable The Password Lock?
Mar 19, 2010
I just got a used 8800 (Cingular) ver 4.5. The phone was wiped and I was able to set my own password. But I'd rather not have it lock at all.The help file indicated that PASSWORD could be disabled, but that does not work for me. I'm looking at Options > Security Options > General Setting.There's a password ENABLED field, but I can't change it, there is a little teeny tiny red lock icon next to the field.
I changed the security timeout to 30, and that helps.
Can anyone tell me how to disable the password lock?
I canīt disable the option for password lock, I donīt needed, for me is enough with the "lock keyboard" button . But no matter what I try even following the manual each time I enter the Security option Password lock only appears Abled, doesnīt give any chance to Disable it.
I was messing around with vpn and it had me put in a password to lock the screen.I tried to disable the screen lockout but there doesnt seem to be any way to disable it.I enter the password under security, and there is no option for it.
I'm so ready to TRASH this blackberry, Ok so now I noticed that password protect is now enabled and now I can't disable it cause it has a little pic of a lock and now no choice to disable.

Ma sister gave me her old 8800 she has stopped using for a long time! I inserted the battery and its asking for new password! I tried every password i can think of but it never accepts! it only says the password should at least have one letter,a digit and a special character.
I bought a real 8800 original a while back and decided to upgrade. I got online the 8800 carbon arte, but when I got it in I realized it is a fake (a nice fake, but a fake).Now I'm not sure if I should keep it and sell my old 8800, or send back the 8800 carbon fake? I cant afford a new carbon as they are well over 1grand. features on the fake seem to be all except no pc suite option (USB gives me com port, mass storage, webcam) and no touch option. Im also assuming that the screen isnt durable.Other than that, the firmware seems to be the same (from what I gathered online)What would you do? Keep the original 8800, or use the newer 8800 carbon fake?

So I updated my Curve to the new version 5. I noticed that there was no more Keyboard Lock/Password Lock. From my previous software, it was named Keyboard Lock and I set it as one of my convenience keys. After the update, I noticed that it no longer existed. A friend of mine purchased a brand new Curve 8520 with the update already installed of course. She had the Keyboard Lock but it was named Password Lock instead. I have been searching for ways to get this feature back to my Blackberry because I feel it is more convenient rather than the "silent/mute mode" button located on the top of my device. The shortcut to lock my phone which is the "A" on my keyboard quickly "locks" my keyboard only
Would somebody PLEASE tell a 'newbie' (who has an activated Blackberry 7130e) how to DISABLE the password? I can locate the place (in Security) and see that the password is currently ENABLED, but I can NOT seem to figure out just how to change this option to 'disable'.I can not 'type' DISABLE where ENABLE is nor can pushing any of the buttons do anything!
Ok so jerry had posted instructions on how to disable the lock screen on kit kat but there is no place to do so. I use a pattern lock that is set for 10 min and when I periodically check my phone I DONT want a lock screen.

When I go to the 'screen lock type' screen, it does not offer Swipe or None, they are there but in lightened font. just want to return the phone to no lock. I was able to remove the fingerprints but now the Screen Lock Type screen only offers pattern, pin, password or fingerprints. I want None...but it is in lightened font and says "Turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage.

I own an Xperia X8 since yesterday and find very annoying this screen lock that automaticly turns on some seconds after the screen timeout expires. The user's guide doesn't seem to mention the possibility of disabling that. I'm an intermediate cell phone user, have been using an SE K800i for years, don't know anything about Android but I'm curious about that (my first impression is that the phone isn't as user-friendly as the K800i, maybe it takes some time to get accustomed).
Is there a way to disable the lock screen entirely on the iPhone (iOS 7.1.1) so that when I turn it on or hit the Home button, I can see my first app screen? I get tired of having to swipe the "slide to unlock" control on my phone in order to use it.Â
