Can I get some help with my Android Device Manager?

Posted this earlier without an account but noticed I was unable to respond to answers, so I just made an account and am posting this question here ^-^

I have a younger cousin who tried guessing my pattern lock on my phone, and got it incorrect enough that my phone asked me for my backup pin number. However, I completely forgot I even set a pin code. So I went into device manager to lock my phone with a new password. It shows that it was successfully reset, but each time I enter the password, my phone is saying that it is incorrect.

I changed the password to 'xxxxx', and it is saying it was successfully reset. But when I enter that password on my device, it is telling me that the password is wrong anyway. Does anyone know what might be up ? It is a Samsung Galaxy S4.

Thank you !

Add: It does show on my phone that my password was reset, but it still keeps saying my new password is incorrect

Are you not able to unlock your phone?

No, my new password that I set won't work.

Its a Samsung. Samsung phones have LOTS of bugs. You should use the Face Unlock thing. Its better and nobody knows your passcode.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try to do that if I can get it open.
