My son screwed up and as a punishment, until I was able to lock down his usage via Verizon, I used device manager to lock his phone. Now, I can't get it to unlock.
I used DM to set a code as required, but his mother (with him this week and has his phone) can't seem to get it unlocked. I don't have the luxury at this point to see the phone myself, but she says that when she hits the button to unlock, the keypad is only visible for seconds. I changed the code to simple 4 digits, all the same, and put it on the displayed message (to ensure it updated). Still, she barely gets the numbers pressed and the keys disappear and nothing.
Never having done it myself, I can't advise other than to say to look for something to press after.
Has anyone done this? The help pages within google say the DM can lock the phone if stolen or lost, but what about when you find it?
Thanks
