Can I delete my lock screen password?

[AC Question]

I have an Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 which features a fully reversible screen and functionality.

For the last month or so, the bottom 1/3rd of my screen has been unresponsive because I dropped it and it cracked. Not a huge deal since I could rotate the phone if I needed to use the bottom part of the screen. It's annoying having to constantly flip my phone, but oh well.

Here's my problem: Tonight I accidentally disabled the "Reversible" setting without realizing it, and now I'm locked out of my phone. I can press the numbers in my password, but I can't click the check mark on the bottom right side of my screen.

Is there any way to get past this issue? Can I disable my password somehow from my pc/google account? I'm so frustrated and I really don't want to lose all my contacts and such by doing a reset...

You should be able to change it in Android Device Manager, but not completely disable it.

However, if you go to Play on a computer (desktop or laptop), and install MyPhoneExplorer, you might be able to control the phone from the computer. (Some do, some don't.)
