How can I reset Honor 8 to no lock screen password after Google Android Manager password reset?

A

AC Question

I normally don't have a lock screen password on my Honor 8, however, I just momentarily lost my phone in a public library and through the Android Device Manager feature, I set a password to lock the phone.

When I found my phone, I was able to unlock the phone, but when I went back into my settings to remove the password, I couldn't as the "None" option in "Password" is greyed out and says "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage".

I then enabled "Developer options" in an attempt to reset this, but the "Screen lock" section in "Developer options" is also greyed out and says the same message as before.

I then deleted credentials but had no success either.

Any suggestions?
