Help with Lock screen PIN

[deeteroderdas]

I use an 8 digit PIN for my lock screen, and somehow it has been reset to a 0 digit PIN, i.e., just press the ENTER. I still get the PIN entry when I wake the phone up and, if I go into Settings->Security->Screen lock, I'm asked for my PIN (to be able to make changes), but it won't accept a null value PIN.

I thought maybe do a factory reset, but again it asks for my PIN with null not allowed.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Maybe it needs your Google/GMail Account.

I resolved this by going to Google's Android Device Manager suite and setting a new PIN.
