How do i get an app off my HTC One M7 that has locked itself as a device administrator

my phone keeps locking me out of it because of an app that has taken over as the administrator. when I try deactivating the app as an administrator it locks me out.

Not a good thing. Have you tried Force Stopping the app and turning it off before deactivating it as an admin? What app is it?

Have you tried removing it from device administrators in security
