I'm looking for some software that will lock my 8525 on demand, hopefully through a today screen plugin. The app MUST require a password for unlocking. I have found some apps like Start Nice and Omega 1-Pass, but they are both explicitly incompatible with WM5. An app that merely triggers the built-in password protection would suffice.
Thanks in advance!
the default password function shld help. go to Settings - Lock. select "Prompt for device unused for" and then select 0 minute from the drop down, click ok to save. whenever u power off ur device and power it back on, the password screen shld prompt.
I do not want to have to enter a password every time I take the device off standby. I want to have a 1 hour usage timeout and a lock-on-demand button on the today screen as well.
I use mortscript, I wrote a script that I linked to an icon on my today tray launch.
You could do the same on your WM5 device. Some of the clever folk on here could help you with a script for your device.
Password lock on demand
Does someone know how to creake a desktop icon that will activate the password lock? The default password lock function allows activation after a specified period of time but it would be better if the password protect is active only when the phone has to be left alone, not while it is on person.
Found an old thread....but no solution
There was some debate on the topic in the past but no satisfactory solution was found!

1. first, you go on the menu
2. next you go to settings
3. scroll down settings until you find lock screen
4. then find and go to screen lock
5. pick a type of lock you want(swipe, motion, pattern, PIN, password, none)
6. if you picked pattern, PIN, or password, you have to type or draw what you want for the certain password
7. press done or continue to set that password on your lock screen
Hi all
İs there a way to turn off all fingerprint and 4 digits pin code for unlocking screen?
İ remove fingerprint but the pin code stays still. İ need to just swipe to unlock.
Thnx
I was able to revert to no code/password check for the lock screen...
Removed also the PIN?
Nope.No any selection for no pin. Only fingerprint in menu.
Deactivating fingerprint also didint remove pin lock.
What must i do?
Delete all your fingerprints.
This is the menu.Png.
The top selection is no password/pin selection. But it is blocked.
Why can it be blocked default by it self?
You must previously delete all your stored fingerprints.
Did that already mate

Have you enabled any VPN connection?
How could i do it? I dont know if.i did?
If you don't know how to do I think that you didn't activate the credential storage and any VPN.... So this is not the cause.
Check also among the device administrators if there is something unexpected.
İ ve checked everything but nothing found.So boring.İ ve got.the doze app and i uninstalled it also.
As described in the settings, lockscreen PIN check is under control of device administrators, credentials storage and cryptography...
Were you ever able to lock/unlock screen without PIN or password?
Untill selecting the fingerprint screen lockin i could.Or i have never tried i dont remember excatly. I think when i bought the phone i just put the fingerprint first.
Where can i check the device administrators menu? And where/what is cryptography?
Under Advanced settings/Security.
No way..Starting to get upset and angry with this phone. It will be very funny if i have to reset the phone for this problem!
Any solutions? I also have the same problem...
Solution to mate 8 password removal
Step 1 go to settings
Step 2 Go to Advanced settings
Step 3 Click on Security
Step 4 Scroll right to the bottom
Step 5 Click on Screen Lock
Step 6 Type in your password.
you will now see that when you lock your phone with the power button and unlock it with the power button, the lock screen has been completely removed.
you want the lock screen back with no password see below
Step 1 go to settings
Step 2 Go to Advanced settings
Step 3 Click on Security
Step 4 Scroll right to the bottom
Step 5 Click on Screen Lock
Step 6 you will see the screen lock will turn on.
Thats it, exit settings and test, you can now lock the phone and unlock the phone then swipe to on the screen to unlock it to your apps.
I did this and it worked for me because i had the same issue.

Hi everyone,
What is the Huawei applock fingerprint default pin under Finger Print menu. The third one.It asks a 4 digit number and i enter my lock pin it says try again.
What can that number be by default?
Thanks.
There's no default pin, it asks you to set one when you activate the function. It could be different from your device pin
Hi, few days ago my standard Screen lock type = PIN&Fingerprits changed without my involvement to Swipe&Fingerprits. When I want to change it back to PIN&Fingerprints, it "works" that way that it can be changed in Settings/Lock screen and security, but in reality when I swith off or restart the phone, I can unlock the pohone with Swipe or Fingerprints, no PIN (the same is with Pattern and Password), i.e. only Swipe or Fingerprits is the unlocking way regardless what is set in Settings/Lock screen and security/Screen lock type. All updates incl.security are the latest ones. Any idea what is causing this? Thx
I think when you reboot the phone, it forces you to use a certain unlock method it deems most secure, all subsequent unlocks after that one should be the way you set it
