I am not sure this is the right place to ask this question.? I have enabled pattern lock in my android device. Just for curiosity I am trying to disable and keep only swipe to unlock option but I can't do that. Is there a way I can disable these patter/pin lock in device?

Thanks

This is the right place, but it seams easier for people to help if they know your device as pretty much every settings screen is different for every device manufacturer.

For instance in my G4 I can:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Go to Display
  3. Go to Lock screen
  4. Select from (None, Swipe, Pattern, Pin, Password)

As it seams None is disabled for you, I'm guessing you had an app installed that required an Administrative rights. Go to settings -> General -> Security -> Phone administrators -> Remove the app that made you set the screen lock from the administrators list (Or if it was a certificate from an app, go to Certificate Management and clear credentials)

I have rooted device. Device is connected to computer with USB cable. And those commands helped me out:

adb devices
adb shell 
cd /data/system
su
rm *.key
reboot
