A friend of mine lost his phone which promoted me to prepare in case I lost mine.
I have an HTC Wildfire S running 2.3 I think
I set up android device manager and wanted to test the remote lock function
I set a password and message and sent it to the phone and it locked as it should have BUT I now can't enter the new password to unlock the phone as I have a numeric keypad come up and I need to enter an alphanumeric password. My original lock screen was a four digit pass code and it appears to display the same keypad making it impossible to unlock.
Please can you help this is such a silly situation. Am I missing something?
I will be eternal grateful if you could provide an answer. I don't want to factory rest my phone.
