ENCRYPTION doesn't let me change screen lock to SWIPE or NONE.

Hey guys.
M stuck here.
I went into the security tab on my Xperia Z and clicked on Encrypt Phone.
Now my phone is encrypted.
Every time I restart my phone, I need to enter the password to get into the phone.
I am ok with that.
But then I need to put the password to go past the SCREEN LOCK every time.
I don't want that to happen.

I went ahead and tried to change the screen lock to SWIPE or NONE, but it won't let me choose that option.
It says DISABLED BY ADMINISTRATOR, ENCRYPTION POLICY OR CREDENTIAL STORAGE.

I tried to decrypt my phone, but it says Encrypt Phone---Encrypted.
If I click on that option, nothing happens.

Is there any way I can put the Screen Lock to SWIPE or NONE now.
Please help.

Thanks.

Yes! It worked even for my Saamsung Android 5. I couldn't turn off my lockscreen function until you suggested clearing credentials. Thank you for your help.
