How can you disable the passcode lock

I thought I might like the pass code lock activated and I did do that, but now I wish to de-activate it and when I went in and turned off the passcode, and shut the down and turned it back on, it did not work,,my phone is an unlocked phone,,did I just turn it from and unlocked phone to a locked phone permently,,confussed!

Settings/general/passcode lock then enter passcode and then tap turn passcode off  The fact that your phone is unlocked is not relevant.  IF you do what I said and don't turn the phone off as you have done it should work

    How can you keep the caps lock on and not unlock after each letter?

    I'm not aware of an online keyboard that is available and can do this. Most likely it would need to be a function of the app itself (which can and sometimes do add functionlaity to the keyboard).
    Wireless keyboard might handle that, if that's an option for you.
    I work in IT myself, and IMHO the iPad isn't the ideal device for coding or scripting work.

  • TS2401 How can you bypass the passcode screen if you forget the passcode number. This is a first for me in the 4 years I have had it???

    I changed the passcode to my phone a couple of days ago and for the life of me can't figure out what it is.  I need to get into the phone but don't know how without resetting the phone to origional setting.  If I do this I will not have a phone at all can anyone help.  This is a special situation.  The phone is not on a network that carries it this is why I can't reset to origional setting.  HELP

    If you forgot your passcode, restore the phone from backup on the last computer your phone was synced with... this will remove the passcode.
    If you do not have access to the last computer the phone was synced with, you will have to force the phone into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

  • How can I disable the Caps Lock key

  • How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again, time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).

    How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again , time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).
    I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
    I sure would like to decide about that myself.
    Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

    Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
    Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
    Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
    Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
    Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
    My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
    You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
    Hope this can help you.

  • Can you disable the camera from the lock screen? iOS8.0.2

    I have a brand new iPhone 6, updated to iOS 8.0.2 and my friends like to steal my phone and take HUNDREDS of photos and that takes up a lot of space. And my question is: can you disable the camera option on the lock screen only. I know you can do it with restrictions but I don't want to loose full camera options. Just from the lock screen. Thanks!

    I agree with the don't let them steal your phone part. But these friends aren't the friends that they sound like. Plus, this wasn't very helpful. But thank you for the "response"

    Hi Michael-
    I do not have any problem with using shift registers in timed loops.  What version of LabVIEW are you using?  Can you please elaborate on why neither shift registers or local variables meet your needs?  I have attached a VI that saves a previous iteration and then computes and displays the difference.  Let me know if you have problems running it.
    Thanks-
