App Protection locked out

I had Free Antivirus and Security suit installed on a Nexus 7.  4.3 update was just installed.  Activating app protection (and downloading the needed software), password was set and verified in two fields and accepted.

Immediatly tried to access setting only to be told the paswsord just entered is not recognized.

No recovery password used so now I am totlay locked out of all settings.

Any ideas?

  • Let me be more detailed about this SNL app that had bricked my tablet.  During the password verifications and before I could enter in a recovery password, this SNL software skipped ahead claiming to be complete. 

    i tried to get to my settings or use the password I just enterd only to find my system locked and the password rejected. 

    Worse yet, i cannot even perform a hard reset. 

    This software is free for a reason.  It fails and will brick your tablet.

    I use to tell my customers to use not only the software from sophos, but their security blog and podcasts. 

    Not anymore.
