Hey, I have a problem with the ios 7 control center and i cant find anything on google about it. I had the beta since it was announced and updated recently to the official release 7.0.2. I used to have control center on my lock screen but now its gone. I cant enable it in settings because the option is greyed out. Any ideas? I've restarted and i really don't want to have to format my device again.

The only suggestion I have (which I kno you said you'd rather not have to) is to Reset All Settings.. :/
 
Reset all settings does not erase anything on the device. It does however put the original wallpaper back on and takes off wifi passwords and certain settings like alarms and custom sounds you have put (not deleting them but putting the defaults back on) It's safe. That'll do it.

Wait a day or so when iOS 7.0.3 comes out (been a rumor for this week) it might fix this without restoring.
 
Hmm, only other thing I can think of, make an iCloud backup of your phone, or iTunes backup. Preferably iCloud, but what you would do after backup, erase all contents and settings, setup the phone as new, if you can enable the setting, then restore from the backup. If after restore it's greyed out again, then there is something in your software causing the issue and you'll have to start fresh to get the option back.

And yea, it's also possible an update could fix it.
 
Alright. ill wait for the next update and then do that if it still isnt working.
 
try holding the power button and the home button at the same time until your phone turns off
 
Try this

On iOS devices you can have profiles installed under Settings, General, Profiles. It will tell you if you have that disabled. This fixed my issue by removing the profile.
