trying to change from pin to swipe

In the screen lock type menu, swipe, direction lock and none is grayed out stating turned off by admin.  How do I get the options turned back on.

There are apps and features that prohibit use of swipe.  If you have fingerprint set up also, you can t use swipe as a back up, only pin.  Private mode, Samsung pay, etc

Try going to settings -> lock screen and security -> other security settings -> hit clear credentials. I know I had to do that when I tried the fingerprint option and then went to swype. Good luck
