screen unlock

was messing around with the screen unlock security. and set a pattern then tried it out. i dont like it, is there a way to put it back to the default so i dont have to use the pattern and just swipe down to unlock?

thank you. that was so simple i feel stupid.

Hey guys,
I'm not the swiftest here so bare with me. I too am trying to get rid of the password lock code to open my eris. I prefer to swipe down to open it and don't have a need for the added security.
I went to phone settings, security, but do not see "Require Pattern" and "Use Visible Pattern" line as options.
What am I doing wrong?
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Nice widget jpc! 

ynot also try rebooting phone to see if you get settings back under security.

soft reboot is powering down phone and back up again.  Hard reboot is to pull the battery and booting back up(no you will not lose anything).  Factory reset is another issue I wont even go into. 

LOL
No need to kill yourself.  We'll get it figured out.
If you are now on Official 2.1:
Make sure you are going to Menu > Settings > Security;
"Require Pattern" means you have to trace the pattern you set with the circles.
"Use Visible Pattern" means that if you have a lock pattern set, it will highlight in green when tracing it.

You should probably have success if you un-check "Require Pattern".  This completely eliminates the requirement to trace a pattern in the circles to open the phone.
You will only need to swipe down, or tap 'Menu" to open the phone.

I hope this helps.

I really like the lock pattern, so I don't pocket dial people, or open random apps, because my Eris is tossing around in my pocket.  The lock pattern completely removes this occurrence.

What options do you get when you go into settings for the lock screen? You dont see what is in the pic below?



If you have Set unlock patten available, make a new pattern and confirm then uncheck all 3 boxes under the Set unlock patten area

are u on 2.1 or 1.5
