How To Get Into Completely Black Lockscreen?

[AC Question]

I accidentally put the Screen Filter app on my phone on 0% and locked my phone while my phone was on its lowest brightness. Now the lockscreen looks completely black and I can't unlock my phone. What do I do?

Hi and welcome to Android Central. Which phone do you have? What screen filter app are you using?

I have a samsung galaxy A5 and I used the "Screen Filter" app from the Play Store.
