    URGENT Locked device - I can not unlock


    I was updating my Microsoft account yesterday and I did not recognize a computer in my "devices". So I "locked" it on the device screen. I noticed this morning that the one I locked was my son's laptop. When locking it it had me put in a message- it's that same message that shows up on my son's laptop. I also received an email stating that the administrator me and locked the PC. Now we can not get into the laptop. It has a message on the lock screen that says "An administrator has restricted sign in. .....have your administrator sign in first". I have tried to unlock the device from the dev

    :)

    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.

    Nokia 928 lock/unlock feature

    Hi,

    I have a Nokia 928. I have a lock screen activated. When I hit the side button to unlock my phone, there is no response. If I hold the volume down button long enough to prompt to turn off, then I am able to swipe up and unlock my phone using my code.
    At this point, the following occurred:

    • if I hit the lock button my phone will not respond.
    • If i hit the volume up while the phone is unlocked. It states that "Something has changed...hold the volume up button and the lock button to take a screen shot."
    • If I touch the volume down button, the screen will prompt "shut down" by swiping down.

    The battery is fully charged. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
