As the PIN is no longer required for daily use, this guide walks you through the steps to remove the screen lock PIN from your Dish Pay Now device. Follow each step carefully to ensure the device no longer requires a PIN at startup.
đź”§ Step-by-Step Instructions
Â
Step 1: Open Settings
From the home screen of your Dish Pay Now device, locate the gear icon (⚙️) in the top-right corner and tap it to access device settings.
This icon represents the system settings of your device.
Â
Â
Â
Step 2: Go to Security & Privacy
Once inside the settings menu, scroll until you find the option labeled "Security & privacy". Tap on it to proceed.
This section manages your device’s lock screen, permissions, and app security.
Â
Â
Step 3: Tap on “Device unlock”
In the "Security & privacy" menu, find and tap on the "Device unlock" option.
This is where you can view and modify the current screen lock method. Â
Â
Â
Step 4: Access Current Screen Lock Settings
On the next screen, you’ll see your current screen lock type displayed—likely listed as "PIN". Tap on the “Screen lock – PIN” entry to proceed.
You may be asked to enter your current PIN at this point to continue. Â
Â
Â
Step 5: Select “None” as New Lock Option
On the “Choose a new screen lock” screen, several lock options will appear:
Tap “None” to remove the current PIN protection.
This will disable any lock screen protection and allow direct access to the device. Â
Â
Â
Step 6: Confirm PIN Removal
A confirmation message will appear saying:
“Delete screen lock? A PIN protects your phone if it’s lost or stolen.” Â
Â
Tap on “Delete” to confirm your decision.
Â
Step 7: Verify Lock Has Been Removed
After deletion, you will return to the Device unlock screen. You should now see the status:
Screen lock – None Â
Â
This confirms that the PIN has been successfully removed.
Â
âś… Final Check
No PIN will be required when starting or unlocking the device.
You can always re-enable a PIN or other lock method at any time by revisiting the same menu.
