It might probably because of you're using a vpn.
Go to settings>Security>Clear credentials(Remove all certificates)

Hi,
Is this a known issue on Android 4.03 Official?
I can't uninstall an app, because I can't disable its administrator privileges. These settings are gone after applying the FOTA!
Not noticed it but I did a factory reset after getting the update

Thanks. I didn't. Interesting. Can anyone else confirm/reject this please?
Nope, i can just remove apps and everything. Didn't do a factory reset after OTA update.

But do you see the "Device Administrator" settings?
You mind trying to install this app (SwitchPro Widget) and then uninstall it?

i see the device administrator settings. Can't install the app because it's a paid app and i don't own a creditcard
Factory reset was the solution indeed!
Where's My Droid is the problem
I noticed after installing Where's My Droid and granting it Device Administration privileges, the option itself disappeared from the Security menu of my phone, along with Unknown Sources option. WTF - I reset my phone over a dozen times (literally) before I realized what caused it to keep disappearing. There's no telling how many apps out there that might cause these options to disappear after being added as a Device Administrator. So please, test my conclusion...reset your phone and if the options reappear, try installing the app that caused the options to disappear (most likely a security app or phone locator app) then grant it Device Admin again and see what happens. If I'm right, please hit the thank you button. Peace!!
I don't see this menu even I did factory reset+wipe data in stock recovery ... I've tried to check it on clean phone without any application installed and it is not there - just setting for "Unknown sources" but not Device administrators ..

Me either until you install an app like Where's My Droid, then go to the Security section of WMD> Remote Wipe or Remote Lock. DO NOT 'SET DEVICE ADMIN' but this should put the option in the Settings>Security menu of the phone. but after uninstalling WMD it goes away. maybe you can make use of it for programs that need device admin privleges while WMD is installed, hopefully it dosen't disappear if you authorize a different app, then hopefully uninstalling WMD wont remove the option if a different app already has admin rights. Are you pickin up what I'm layin down? I know it sounds crazy, thumbs down ICS

You have found the root cause of this "problem".. It is not a bug it is feature
That did it for me, too!
Just to confirm, I found a small app on the Play Store that wanted Device Admin rights (an app called "Lock Screen" which just provides a button to lock the device), went in to it's settings, enabled Device Admin rights and then the 3rd Party Apps and Device Administrator settings appeared in the Security Settings. Thank you!

Seems like a problem to me, I have yet to get these options back after setting Where's My Droid app as a Device Admin.
Only Install Android Device Manager for enable this menu
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.

Hi,
on my Galaxy S5 (klte) I am using Fusion rom (Androi 5.1.1). From the start (after a clean flash and installing gapps) I can not change the lockscreen to "unsecure". In Settings>System profiles>[choose the settings of any profile] I am greeted with the stated error message.
I tried:
-Removing all the administrators from Settings>Security>Device Administrators
-Switched all the credentials in Settings>Security>Trusted Credentials to off.
The phone is not encrypted and I do not have any Exchange Mail Accounts set up (just two google accounts).
Does anyone know what I can do to get rid of this annoying policy?
Thanks, Kiesel

Hi, thank you for using XDA assist.
There is a general forum for android here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where you can get better help and support if you try to ask over there.
Good luck.
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.

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.

There doesn't seem to be an option to permanently disable the 'Install from unknown sources' option on the phone. While you can always keep it unchecked, as of now, it doesn't look like there's a permanent solution for this.
Has anyone found a way to do it yet?
My S6's unknown sources switch keeps turning itself back on after about 15 minutes. Is there an app to override this?>
