    Remote device lock and unlock


    I locked my laptop remotely from Microsoft account website through my desktop because I did not recognize it at first. The laptop now only shows a remote administrator message when I attempt to log in and does not allow any input. Just the default windows login screen, my name, and a sign-in button, when clicked, shows the message I posted when I locked the device remotely. there is no option to use my microsoft account password or any input method for that matter. Please help and thank you!

    :)

    Unlock device after remotely locked

    Hi There,

    I am wondering what is the step to do to unlock a Surface Book device that I have locked it remotely? Is the other user can still sign in after I lock it remotely?

    I have it with my staff right now, but I need to lock it since his contract is over before he could return it to the office.

  3. Am trying to unlock a remotely locked device

    My mother - lives on the west coast and I am on the east coast - accidentally remotely locked her computer. Now it indicates that it requires an administrator to logon first to unlock it. However, despite resetting the Microsoft account password multiple
    times, etc. she can't get into her computer. I can remotely lock the computer -- can see it on the list of devices -- but can't unlock it. She is elderly, not that computer savvy, and has limited access to any transportation that could take her to Best Buy
    or some other professional help. Am trying to help via phone and cell phone... but have not been able to help her get into her computer.
