Switch off the password toggle switch and confirm the action with old pattern. When you switch on again, it'll ask you to draw the new pattern.
I forget my lock apps pattern, is there any way to solve it? Now I can't manage my app any more
Try to find and delete any file with .key extension in /data/system
You can click change to number lock and then click forgot password to reset a new one.

Hi!
I got an Note 3 for a test but there was a Samsung account before it activated... I did not know the password for it, so id did wipe it within the recovery. but now when I start the device it still asks the Samsung account information.
Rooting option is not an option because it`s not my device, but just for the test. also I can not find the my locations software version ( SEB) for it, so I could try to flash it using Odin.
Any other options to get rid of the Samsung account verification option on setupwizard?

Sounds like the Reactivation Lock has been switched on. There is a guide on the forum somewhere, however it's not as simple as ABC.
Sounds like a challenge.. Thats good Thanks

In reality it was so simple...
For other guys that have the problem like me:
After the wipe via recovery turn on your phone.
In the first screen when you must choose the language, go in to the Accessibility options.
Go to Text To Speech Options and in the settings find the option to download other and Install Voice data.
Just choose to install any voice data.
At this point it will ask you to log in to the Samsung account. You can create new one or just log in with your existing one.
When the download has completed go back to the start and keep on setting up the device as always.
At this moment it will ask you to log in with the Samsung account anyway, but at this time log in with the same account with witch you logged in when you downloaded the Voice Data. Vuola! You are in.
Then go to Security Settings and uncheck the Reactivation Lock, to disable this option if you don't want that anymore.
Hello, I don't use screen lock , and in android 5.0 is not possible to deactivate it, I have to choose between swipe-pattern-pin-password and in 4.4.4 it had the option to disable it.
It's annoying because before I unlocked the phone with button and shows direct what I was using (maps or whatever) in 4.4.4, now I always have to swipe everytime and with gloves it's a pain, specially if you need to check the phone frequently if using maps or similar.
Thanks

That option is disapeared in Android 5.0, at least for me. It existed in 4.4.4

If you have a guest user enabled, delete it. Having Guest enabled forces you to have some type of screen lock. Either way, you're going to have to at least swipe once to unlock with Lollipop.

Are your rooted?
Password protect supersu.
Install app to system.
Then you will need the password to uninstall it.
But you might still be able to disable it.
Make sure you have a password protected recovery also.
Under Settings/Screen Lock & Passwords/Password, the "None" option is grayed out with "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage".
I've disabled all Device Administrators and Trusted Agents, cleared credentials, but still can't remove the password.
What am I missing?
Thanks!

I am having the same problem in Huawei Honor 6 plus. Followed the above steps as well but it didn't work out.
One thing I would like to mention is that I have recently received an update (B520) which has added android pay option in nfc and inside Google settings. That is the main culprit I think.
Sent from my PE-TL10 using XDA Free mobile app

what you r missing is lack of sense about where what to post.
Is that something related to development??
Read xda rules before posting here and there.
To unlock any phone u need 2 find gesture.key from ur data partition.
Get the help of adb or a recovery based file manager like aroma and find out gesture.key
Or simply try unlock me tool.
Hello,
After updating my ROM to the phhusson treble Oreo rom i had hard time with finger print gestures as whenever I touched it, it sent me back to home page or it sent me back. I tried to find for settings but couldn't find it. I didn't want to install a new app to disable fingerprint. So I found this solution
Go to system => phh => Huawei
There you would find a file named
fingerprint.kl
(Back up the file just in case you mess up.)
Edit it and remove all the gestures you don't want.
Reboot the device and you are done.
I've edited like the attached screenshot and it has made life easy for me.
