Hi, I have CM 5.1.1 (JustArchi, beta weekly 17) system in my device... Unfortunately I can´t use option "None" and "Swipe" in "Choose screen lock". It writes me "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage". I would like to turn off a screen lock but i don´t know how. Could you help me, please? Thx
Find Lock Screen application and delete its cache, it may help.

Is it password for lockscreen or password to decrypt internal storage? Well, i guess you can fix it both using CWM (google it, since i don't have permission to quote outside link) by:
1. wiping user data (for lockscreen password) or
2. you can format the SD-ext then wipe user data (it's for decrypt storage)
Hope it'll help.

what is going wrong:
1. I set up VPN connection with lock screen pin
2. all right for the last 2 days
3. now I want to configure a new VPN
4. I want to enter VPN settings (in settings "More Settings" in "wireless and network"
5. it's not possible, it's asking a password for credential storage...
6. i know the PIN I have entered to unlock the lock screen
7. after trying 3 times with false password it want to reset/erase the credential storage
8. I restarted phone and after, no pin is needed anymore... I'm really confused...
credential storage -> (what is this?) (is this a problem if it will be erased?)
Someone knows how to solve without a hard reset?
I'm searching in web and XDA but I can't find a solution...
I've solved.
Was very simple - found the solution on a German Forum.
Simply reset credential storage.
Just in case anyone else reads your thread with the same question. You are talking about clear credentials under security right?
yes or insert 4 times the wrong password in vpn settings, it doesn't give any problems.
after this you have to restart with vpn settings, because all vpn connections are lost and you have to give a new pin/password for access/activation to the credential storage.

Disable the screen lock security - from pattern, pin or whatever go to none.
Now you will have no VPNs or another things which might demand security, but you are able to setup them again.
Guys need help . I have note 3 neo and when I open "vpn" it shows "enter creditional storage password " how to solve that.?
Just go to the lock screen settings and set a new screen lock...

After we lost the phone, we used Android Device Manager and locked the phone.
Went into
Settings > Security > Screen Lock
and both the 'None' and 'Swipe' options are greyed out.
There is the message 'disabled by administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage'.
I've since gone into Device Administrators and unchecked Android Device Manager.
I've also went into Trust agents and turned of 'Smart Lock (Google)'.
Unfortunately both 'None' and 'Swipe' are still disabled in the Screen Lock options.
My 2 questions are:
1) how do i remove the password settings so that i can go back to 'swipe' as an option.
2) after said 'screen lock' option is fixed, should i turn Trust Agent back on? What does 'Smart Lock' do?

Your device is encripted so you will not be able to use none or swipe. Does your phone ask for password when you turn it on ?

I have no explanation as to why that wouldn't be working, But if all you're doing is using it for "Battery Information" and not the other things within that menu, I suggest you install "Any cut" and create a shortcut to the activity "Battery info" and hopefully that works for you.

Hi everyone,
A month ago, I encrypted my phone (Galaxy S5 Plus - kccat6) currently under LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1.0) and TWRP 3.2.3-0.
Normally, after the encryption, when I started my phone, I would get a password request to decrypt my phone before launching Android. Access to TWRP was also password protected.
However, for a week now, for no apparent reason, I no longer have any password requests at startup and TWRP no longer asks for a password either.
In the "Security and Confidentiality" section, under "Encryption and identifiers", the phone is always indicated as encrypted... so it's impossible to request the encryption of my data again. At the same time, when I use Trust (integrated with LineageOS), it says "Encryption : Disabled".
I don't understand it. I did nothing in particular to have the encryption deleted.
Do you have any idea what to do to recover the encryption on my phone? And eventually why I may have lost the encryption?
Thank you in advance
OK I found a solution. It seems that it's a bug well known since many versions of Android. Strange that it has not been corrected...
Here's what helped me to fix the problem (found here : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37010136 )
How to reproduce:
1. Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Switch Access
2. Enable Switch Access service
3. Go to Security -> Screen lock
4. Incorrect warning text appears under Pattern, PIN, and Password options
How to fix
1. Go to Security -> Screen lock
2. Select one of Pattern, PIN, and Password options
3. Select "Require pattern to start device" on the next UI
4. Finish setup
5. Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Switch Access
6. Enable Switch Access service
7. Incorrect text ("If you turn on Switch Access, your device won't use your screen lock to enhance data encryption") on the prompt. It's incorrect and misleading because "Require pattern to start device" is already set and screen lock will apear on start up.
