first extract ur framework-res.apk and then decompile the apk then in the file find book.xml
change the Boolean value from false to true which says lockscreen.autorotation=false
iam not exact in the above instruction but im sure that there is a thread out thread
but wait a minute are u in stock or custom rom becoz stock rom already has auto rotation
Press thanks if i helped

no

NO, this has nothing to do with download mode. DO NOT GO INTO DOWNLOAD MODE. It sounds like you aren't very well versed in Android.
First, see if auto rotate is on in the toggles. Is it already on and it still won't rotate?
Did you update it to 4.1.2 and it caused this problem or have you been using 4.1.2 already and it just happened? Look in the settings, possibly in Display or Security. There's probably an option there to rotate the lockscreen and it's unchecked.

When I updated to jelly bean 4.1.2 this problem started
Toggles are on
No such option in any menu...
