  2. Remote lock

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand the inconvenience you are facing in signing in to your device with the PIN authentication.

    Provide us additional information to assist you better with this issue:

    1. What happens when you try to sign with the PIN?
    2. Do you have an option to sign in with the password?
    3. May I know what you exactly mean by “Locked laptop remotely with my account”?

    As you have mentioned you got it back and you are not able to get into it, I would suggest you to refer the article on
    Find and lock a lost Windows device,
    please check the section "Lock your Windows device remotely after locating it:" and check if it is helpful to you.

    If you are facing an issue with signing into your system using the PIN that you assigned, please refer the article
    PIN sign-in issues
    for more information.

    However, if this doesn't resolve your issue and you are facing an issue with logging into your system, please reply to this thread with more information, we will look into this for you.

    Regards,

  3. Remote phone locking - Lock your phone via text if you lose it!

    This is a damn cool feature, basically once you set it up, if you lose your phone you can lock it via text message!I feel much safer now, as I have insurance but you cannot insure your privacy! :smileyhappy:

    For reference the default lock code on an unbranded phone is 12345, I suggest you change this. Be warned though, the default lock code could vary if your phone is branded so check with your carrier first!

    • Go to Menu > Settings > Phone >
      Phone mgmt. > Security settings > Phone and SIM card >
      Remote phone locking.
    • Select Enable and enter a “remote locking message”. This can be anything you choose, but must be at least five characters in length.
    • Enter a PIN code, you will need this to unlock the phone.
    • Test it by using another phone and texting your phone the “remote locking message”.

    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.
