Easy way:
Download and use MyStrings from Cydia.
Manual way:
1. Create a folder called 'No Slider Text.theme'
2. Make a new folder inside that called 'Bundles'
3. Make a new folder inside that called 'com.apple.springboard'
4. Make a new folder inside that called 'en.lproj'
5. Make a new file now (in a text editor) and copy the below text. Save the file as 'SpringBoard.strings'. Don't add .txt or .rtf to the end of the file extension.
You can change the <string> part of each key to whatever you want the text to show. The very top one is the usual 'slide to unlock' one. A single space in the <string> gives the effect you initially asked for (no text shown).
6. Via SSH, upload the .theme folder to /private/var/stash/Themes.[IGNORE]/
7. Enable your new theme via Winterboard

sorry....
there have other easier way to do that????
couse i did know to used the mystring and SSH....
anyway thanx for u help....
I think iStrings should do the trick. If not, try LockInfo.
You can get both apps from Cydia, you have to pay for LockInfo after 30 days or so.

Uhmm... guys... If you want to just simply bypass the Lock Screen, there is a Cydia app called "NoLockScreen"

i used nolockscreen fro cydia, but it's quite
buggy. so now i use activator instead, just set "single click home button" in "lock screen" menu to unlock a device..
so when i want to use the phone, i just click home button to wake the screen up and press it again to unlock the device. it's much convinience than sliding the unlock slider.

for my money, lockinfo is the way to go. No slide bar and lots of cool info on my lockscreen.
when i show it to non-jailbreakers they always get jealous.

i have try lockinfo...
but it also remove my slide pic....
i only want to remove the slide to unlock....
Lockinfo gives the option to remove the slider, but you can still slide to unlock, and/or you can use Activator to unlock your iphone by double/clicking the home button...
i just want delete the word slide to unlock....
but i still want the slider....

OIC!!!
Thought you wanted to bypass that a go streight to the Springboard.
OMG!!!
This will be the 3rd time I suggested this.
The Cydia App is called "NoLockScreen"

i do not know why, but no methods I've found have ever worked for me! i did andy9l's method and nothing worked. that pesky, ugly, flamboyant "slide to unlock" text remains!
There's something in Cydia called "Un-unlockable". I'm not sure if it's iOS4 compatible, but it's working perfectly on 3.1.3. All it does is removes or overrides the "slide to unlock" graphic, the background you set isn't affected.
Good to hear, enjoy
!
I also just learned something cool last night that I want to share. I have un-unlockable on my phone, as well as Activator (to use with Backgrounder, etc.). I set up Activator last night to work if I hold the home button on the lock screen, it will unlock the phone. Talk about friggin cool!
based on recomendations in this thread, installed nolockscreen this morning.
seems to work fine, but will keep my eyes open for some of the buggy behavior others mentioned.
1 thing I found out right away, nolockscreen has to be disabled in sbsettings before syncing with itunes. otherwise it will 'slide to unlock' and cancel the sync.

Via SSH or via ifunbox(usb cable) go there:anyone know???
/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/English.lproj/SpringBoard.strings
Open the last one with a text editor and look for this:
Code:
<key>AWAY_LOCK_LABEL</key>
<string>slide to unlock</string>
