AC Question
I was installing Android Pay and got to the point where I had to set a password. It was not obvious to me that the password was going to be required to do absolutely anything to my phone - including answering incoming calls! I set a 12-digit password, which was obviously a mistake, but the first time I tried to use it to unlock the phone I only got the "incorrect password" error message. It has never worked at all and I'm completely locked out of my phone now.
I've used Android Device Manager as if it were lost, but that hasn't worked. It will let me phone home, but that's as far as it goes. I've used Google's My Account to send a message to my device, but of course I can't unlock it to type "YES" into it.
Is there any other suggestion that could possibly come before a factory reset, or am I doomed to lose all my un-backed-up photos and contacts?
