answering calls topic

So like a week before,I got my phone I started reading threads about this phone.I thought I remembered seeing something on this topic but can't find it anymore.so I apologize For asking again,is their away to be able to answer phone with out having to unlock the security pattern I have set up just to answer the phone.I'm currently running 4.2 and will be up grading in couple days or possible tonight.I just wanted to try out phone before going to kk.I'm running viper Wright now and liking it.just miss a lot of the features I had on my s4 and nexus running kk..
