Bypass Swipe to unlock in Android 5.0.2 I have upgraded my Sony Xperia Z1 from Android 4.4.4 to Android 5.0.2 and now, when the screen is locked, I first have to swipe before I can enter the pattern. When I go to Settings -> Screen Lock, there is an option None, but it is greyed out because of

Disabled by administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage


What does this mean and how can I change this?
You have set a custom VPN, encrypted your phone or something else that requires a lock screen on your phone. To disable that you will need to decrypt, remove your VPN's to get only a swipe lockscreen back.

On Android Lollipop, Google has added the swipe-up before you can enter your pattern. I don't know why the did that, but they found that usefull.

Hope my answer helps!
