Samsung S7 unwanted screen lock

[anonymous-user]

I appear to have received an update overnight such that I was forced to have to establish a screen lock pass to the phone before I could use it. I duly did this.

Now I have to unlock the stupid thing after it is left for a few minutes, which I don't want to have to do. I can't see how to turn it off. The best I can manage is to delay the locking for 3 minutes.

Any suggestions please?

Don't know if it's the same on the S7, but I can disable it on an S8 by going...Settings>Lock screeen>Screen lock type and choosing "Swipe"

That option is there but has been greyed out with 'disabled by administrator' showing. Same for the no security option.
