If you don't have the password I don't think you will be able to remove it. You may want to contact the developer to see if they can help.

Re: how to uninstall smart app lock without the password?

If the developer gives you a way to do it, I'd mark the app as being insecure. The idea of a passworded screen is that if you don't have the password, you can't get in. (If you forget the password, that's your fault - you should have a password app, with a data file in the cloud, that you can access from any device you own. So you use a laptop to look up the password for your phone screen. (That way you can have a single complex password to get to all the others. Use a 20 character mixed upper- and lower-case alpha, numeric and punctuation password and no one but the NSA is going to waste the effort it would take to break it. [That's military strength.])

That's also why you should never leave home with USB debugging enabled. Anyone who finds the phone can delete the pattern/PIN/password file and get into your phone. (If you need USB debugging on a lot when you're at home, use Tasker to automate enabling and disabling it. It can also automate using the locking screen when out and having the phone completely unlocked at home.)

I know this post is old but the problem still exists for others. So here isthe answer
go to settings
administrators
uncheck or remove smart lock from being a administrator
restart phone
go to play store and search smart app lock
click on the installed one
uninstall
all apps will be unlocked and smart app removed. You can now reinstall and none of settings will be saved and you can even use same pins AND THIS TIME NOT HIDE THIS APP

Re: how to uninstall smart app lock without the password?

U need to go into setting s and go into the security setting and look for administrators or device administrators and see if the app is there and on, if it is turn off then go in and uninstall it.
