Android Central Question

Hi,

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 MTK with Epic ROM 8.something installed. I setup an unlock screen pattern on the phone, but, unfortunately, due to to falling, I no longer can't complete the pattern or type my PIN (not all screen is affected, just the part corresponding to one of the number of the pin).

I tried to setup a new screen pattern/pin remotely via Android Device Manager, but it does not ask me for a new password as stated on some online tutorials.

Any idea on how I can disable the screen lock pattern, either remotely or via adb? or at least send the pattern from a PC to the phone? Got a new replacement screen on the way, but still going to take a few more days to get it...

Many thanks!

Jorge

It takes 24 hours for a change at ADM to take effect (so if you didn't do it, when you get the email saying it's been done, you can respond, and ADM can cancel the request for the change). Just wait for it.
