There is no phone lock feature. But you can lock the simcard!!
since you already know about the screenlock, what more could you need a lock for???
Password Lock
so you want a password lock when you open your phone? Follow these steps:
Open Settings
Location and Security
Change screen lock
if you would like to put a password with words and numbers in it, select Password. If you want just 4 numbers as your password, select PIN.
Put in your password and then put it in a second time to confirm.
Well done! You now have a passworded phone
you just repeated what he said, because he said he knows about the screen lock. I'm still confused why he needs a bootup password in addition to a screen lock.
My first issue with the phone. I was playing around with the lockscreen as I was bored. Normally I don't keep my phone locked. After setting a lock pattern and setting all the smart lock features I decided to disable the lock. Originally I had it set to swipe. When I went in to the Screen Lock setting screen to put the phone back on Swipe I could not. It was disabled. In fact the only options I could choose were Pattern, Pin and Password. I disabled all the smart lock features but that didn't help. I restarted the phone and that didn't help either.
So now I can't disable the lock screen. Anyone know what up?
I read that clearing credentials fixes the issue so I tried it. Nope, didn't fix the issue.
OK, for ****s and giggles I cleared the credentials again and now I have all the unlock options. I don't understand why that was happening but who cares.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Just like you, I normally do not use a lock screen. But I was visiting family and left my phone out to charge, so I added the pattern password and then it would not allow me to turn it off - all I had was Pattern, Pin and Password. After clearing the credentials, I gained access to be able to disable the pattern lock. Thanks again!!!
Hi there,
Recently went back to a S7 from a HTC M9 and wow what a difference and love this phone now. When setting up phone from new I set up a PIN and fingerprint screen lock. All was going well until I recently restarted it as had it turned off, now after a restart you have to re enter your PIN for fingerprint sensor to open it but unfortunately I was unable to remember my PIN ( silly bugger next time write PIN number down ). Eventually I opened it using Samsung Find My Mobile by using Lock My Mobile and using a new PIN phew what a relief as I didnt want to do a factory reset and then have to reload everything. Now I want to change my PIN to a new number ( already written down ) and when I go into Screen lock type in settings and it asks me under Confirm PIN to enter my PIN, I enter the PIN I used in Lock My Mobile to open phone it doesnt accept it and locked me out again for 5 minutes but after that time fingerprint sensor opened phone normally. Question is how do I reset a new number because if I have to restart /reboot phone for any reason I will be locked out again.
If you aren't rooted, Factory Reset is pretty much your only way. If you are rooted, there's some files you can delete but I don't remember them.
Think about it - if your phone was lost or stolen, would you want someone to be able to disable the screen lock to get at your information?

After rebooting, I am not able to unlock my phone.
- The pattern unlocking screen appears
- I type the correct pattern
- The screen gets black for 2-3 seconds
- The pattern unlocking screen appears again..
It always says: Your phone has been restarted and must be unlocked with your pattern. You can use your fingerprint to unlock next time.
But I unlock it with the correct pattern and this message with the pattern unlock screen appears again and again ... I cannot get to my home screen.

So I had a password on my phone and a fingerprint lock. I used the fingerprint lock to unlock the phone and on restart it would ask me the password. All was good.
At some point I removed the screen lock altogether. I don't have a screen lock now and I'm able to enter the phone without prompt just fine even on boot,
Except, now I want to enable the screen lock again and it asks me to re-enter the password. Now the old password doesn't work and I could swear I didn't really touch it when removing the screen lock.
I'm able to do everything on my phone, except setup a screen lock. What is up here? And how do I setup a screen lock now or reset the password?
Not sure of the fix.
I got locked out of a PC bios like that ie the password spontaneously became corrupted.
I set passwords for accounts only, not devices and this illustrates why.
It may indicate a hardware failure or maybe just a firmware glitch. See if there's a default password for that model... a service center may be able to help.
