I was locked out of my Moto Z play last night (Android 8). In the past my PIN would get me in (like when I wanted to restart the phone), but now the lock screen (which does not even indicate it is from PREY) wants a password. The PIN did not work, my Google password didn’t work. C’mon on PREY folks, give us a hint which password you actually want! How was I supposed to know that I hadn’t gotten hit with malware?

Fortunately I discovered (online) a way to bypass the lock screen (apparently has been reported to PREY as a bug) and so I’m back in.

Hi Elvis,

I’m very sorry for the inconvenience.

Could you please enter to your panel and send a “Lock” action. After this you should be able to stop it or unlock it using the new password.

Please let me know if the problem persists.

Have a nice day.

I have Android 8 on a Samsung 9+, and I went to restart my phone, but this caused an endless loop of Prey lock screens so I am now locked out of my phone. I’ve sent multiple lock and unlock requests from my control panel all to no avail. Because my screen is locked, I cannot update any of my apps including Prey with its supposed fix. Please help in outlining a work around so I can access my phone.

How do you update if your phone is locked?
Can you push out the latest release and unlock my phone?
