[RESOLVED] How to Change Password

[MonocleMike]

Yesterday I somehow set up a password and now I have to enter it to unlock the screen. How do I change or remove it? I am running 4.1.2 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. I've tried to Google the answer but they all refer to a "Location and Security" setting. There is no such setting! I've tried all the options in "Security" , "Lock screen" and "Display" without success. I can't face the hassle of doing a factory reset and can't believe it is the only way.

You should be able to go to Settings - Screen Lock - (enter current password) - Slide or None.

Keep in mind if you have an Exchange or VPN configured, Jelly Bean requires a password/PIN/Pattern.

Moved to Jelly Bean forum.

Thank you for your prompt reply which, of course, worked perfectly. It is glaringly obvious when you know how! Thanks again.

Glad it is sorted.

Sometimes it is hard to see the forest from the trees.
