I really hope that the OP has figured this out in the three years since they posted.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Since I updated my iPhone 5 to IOS 8 (and 8.2) when I try to open Control Center from my locked screen, the display goes black but what i tried to open (calculator, camera or timer) is running in the back and the phone does not freeze, but if I want to access either of those, I have tu punch in my password and then open the app.

This thing does not happen on my wife's iPhone 5 or my iPad Air.

Any help ?

Did you check Settings>Control Center>Access on Lock Screen and make sure it's set to ON?

Just a note:

I had the same thing on my 5S. I went to Settings>Control Center>Access on Lock Screen and it was on. I turned it off and back on and CC worked fine after that.

Thaks for you all. Reseting and changing the "access on lock screen" worked for my iPhone 5.

I have exactly the same problem. It can't bypass the security code. Only the flash light works from the Access control. Did you find a solution?

Finally! This worked, when nothing else did.
