  1. @Brittany….Withn the security settings environment, look for “Clear credentials ” Tap it to clear /remove all security certificates. Then go back to the screen lock and select none, then to the Google account you want to remove and Tap on remove account. Worked for me. Thanks.

  3. It won’t allow me to set the screen lock to none either. The option is greyed out (as well as the swipe option) and says “disabled by administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage” underneath.
