Undoing Key Lock on Boot to Allow Hard Reset

[JaedenRuiner]

Okay,

So I'm ready to do the hard reset and clear it out to start from scratch, but I can't seem to get the reset to work. I completely shut down (hold in pwr btn for several seconds until i get the shutdown warning). then, vol down & OK btn held in, i power up...it comes to the password logon screen to boot up. well that is very difficult to hold those two buttons in while i'm typing in a password, but i try and it goes about its day, and never asks me for the vol up btn.

So i thought to try and remove the key lock but the checkbox is greyed out. Now I remember when I synced up with my OWA for outlook emails for work, i got a message saying something about a security protocol requiring me to "lock" my phone. I don't mind this, but now, i can't uncheck that box. How do I remove that security lock that was enforced by the external party?

Thanks,
