How to reset lockscreen password of android phone via ADM !

A

AC Question

Hello Friends,
Actually I've lost my phone's lock-screenpassword which has caused me lots problem. I just wanna try every possible thing b4 hard-reset. Because there's lots of data in it.
I was trying this ADM method that I found on net.
I logged in to ADM (Android Device Manager) with same google a/c, that I use on my phone.
ADM url :- google(dot)com/android/devicemanager
It's able to catch my phone's location.
Ringing worked too.
(Though in both cases I had to restart my device to work.)

But, as the tutorial of resetting password of lock-screen says, I tried pressing Lock and entered the new password.... and, it didn't work giving a message that says : "Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password you entered won't be needed."

So, I'm unable to reset my password.

Can anyone help ?
