Device Manager question - Google login

Since connection to the apps and the Google Play store/services is driven by a Google account, what happens if you change your Google password from your computer and then try to send the remote lock/wipe command using Device Manager? I recently lost my Nexus 7 and in a panic went and changed all my passwords. Only then did I remember that the Android Device Manager would allow me to track and lock/wipe the device. Now that my Google account has a different password than when I was using the Nexus, will it be able to receive the Lock command?

Welcome to the forums.
It should. I don't see any reason that will stop it.
