Avoid "lock screen PIN or password"?

Post by KNERD » Sat Sep 20, 2014 7:20 pm

Upon wanting to install the certificates and keys, I am getting this requirement popping up:

You need to set a lock screen PIN or password before you can use the credential storage"
Is there a way to get around this?

Having this on the system hinders the use of the device to not be used as needed.

Seems there is a way.

For those who need a solution also, I found two of them.

1) Enable the screen lock PRIOR to installing the OpenVPN profile.
You will not get the error and installation will proceed as normal.

2) if you have already done this, you can delete the profile and start again.
I believe there is also a reset possible via "lost password"
