And how do you change the text on the top left that says "ATT" as well as "Slide to Unlock"? Customize won't work, since it says "Cant Save String".
1. First you need to make sure you are able to SSH into your phone.
(There are other tutorials on how to do this)
2. Go into the IPhone folder.
/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/English.lproj/
3. Download "SpringBoard.strings" to your computer and rename it to SpringBoard.plist
4. Now download this version:

5. There are 2 files. One for the MAC OS and one for Windows.
Unzip the files and open the one you need. (MAC users
may need Perf Setter. google it)
6. The string you are looking for is "AWAY_LOCK_LABEL"
7. Change it to whatever you like, and save. (Only change the string not the key)
8. Then rename the file back to SpringBoard.strings.
9. Now place the new edited file back in.
/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/English.lproj/
10. Reboot your phone.
Your Slide to unlock text should now be w/e you changed it to.
File example.
<key>AWAY_LOCK_LABEL</key>
<string>slide to unlock</string> *<-- Change this*
<key>AWAY_MISSED_CALL_LABEL</key>
<string>Missed Call</string>
<key>AWAY_MISSED_VOICEMAIL_LABEL</key>
<string>Voicemail</string>
<key>AWAY_SMS_LA............Etc............
