Android Device Manager – android device manager, it is the official application Android de Google. With it we can change the screen lock password of our phone or tablet. This among other actions, if we have forgotten it or by mistake it has been changed and we do not know it.
It is also useful to remotely lock the device, if we do not want it to be used. Either because it has been stolen or we don't know where it is. This way we can prevent someone unknown from seeing our information on the phone.
How to unlock an Android tablet or phone by changing the lock password
Android Device Manager locks and unlocks our Android
We will be able to recover the normal use of our device, without having to do the dreaded hard reset or factory reset, which erases all data, photos, videos, contacts, documents on the phone.
In the video, we detail the steps to follow to change the password and use the tablet or phone normally again, without having used the factory reset.
In order to successfully perform this procedure, you will need:
- 2 android devices configured with the same gmail account
- Android Device Manager
- internet connection either Wi-Fi or by mobile Internet
With these 3 requirements, it is now possible to change the screen lock password. We will also be able to erase the data from the device, remotely, as well as activate the sound of the device that we select, in order to find it if we have lost it at home, at work or elsewhere.
Doubts?. If after watching the video and reading this article you have any questions, you can enter our Android applications forum and post your query or leave a comment If it was useful to you, we would love to know what other actions you have been able to do with Android Device Manager or other applications.

[quote name=”Felipe”]My problem, like some people here, is that when using android device manager it does not give me the option to generate a new password to unlock the device, the problem is that all the people who write do not see an answer some on the page.[/quote]
Hello, I think that with the new version of Android, you can no longer change the password, if you lock the device remotely. In the Google play app they comment: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.adm
It just locks the device, wipes its data, or displays a message. For this reason, this video only serves for versions of its time.
Screen lock
I already detect it but it does not ask me to change my password, it only appears to send a message and a telephone number where the person who has my cell phone can contact me
hacked pattern
hello, if anyone has a new nokia 8 solution with a fingerprint, I don't know if I recognize it, but he sends me to confirm with the boss, which I don't know because I'm sure it was changed, he doesn't accept the one I put, besides I have strange movements in the google account of password change I have recovered the account and changed the password by obligation I call the phone and it rings and I can use it receiving but when I change the Google password the tfl does not connect how to get the pattern without deleting data in the history there are movements that are not from another side of the world where they make a password change

[quote name=”Yoicelandy alfonso”]On my device it does not give me the option to change the screen lock[/quote]
You have to enter the lock options of your cell phone (in the security part) and put the lock option without a password and that's it, update the page and it will appear for a new password.

Consultation
Hi, I used the Android device manager to block the cell phone, but I need to unlock it again and I still don't have the cell phone, since the authorities want the phone to be turned on and used to be able to locate it by satellite.
Thank you
I can't unlock the mobile
Very good!
Thank you very much for the contribution. I have the same problem that others have already pointed out to you. My phone was stolen and I used device manager to lock it. The problem is that I entered more than four characters and included letters, but on mobile I can only enter four numeric characters. I've tried adding a new lock password to change it, but device manager tells me that a lock password already exists and doesn't need to be changed. Is there a solution that does not go through the terminal reset?
Thank you so much!

Or do I have to wait for it to connect and, once connected to the internet, delete the data? First of all, Thanks.

account change
I've lost a tablet and the first thought I had was to change the Google account password from my PC, hoping that whoever found the tablet couldn't access the mail.
Later I discovered the possibilities of the Device Manager, but now I wonder:
Can I locate/lock the tablet having already changed the account password?
