Or try locking it at Android Device Manager. (Write the password down, because only the first one you use will be sent to the phone - and it can take time to send it, so if you forget it by the time it gets to the phone you're back where you are now. You can add a little text, which will show on the hone's lock screen, so you know when the password was changed. Just wait about 15 minutes, then restart the phone. If you don't see the text, wait another 15 minutes and restart. When you see the text, the password you put in at Device Manager should be the password that unlocks the phone.)
