Remotely Unlocking a Mobile Device

An administrator can unlock a Smart device using the Avalanche Console, allowing a device user who has forgotten his passcode to access the device. When a device is remotely unlocked, the current passcode is erased from the device and the user is not prompted for a passcode in order to access the device. If the device has a passcode policy currently applied to it, the device user is prompted to create a new passcode.

To unlock a Smart device from the Avalanche Console:

1.From the Avalanche Console Inventory tab, click the name of the device you want to unlock.

2.The Device Details page appears. In the Tools panel, click Unlock. A dialog box appears asking you if you are sure you want to unlock the device. Click Confirm.

The passcode is removed from the device.
