Anti-theft bricked my phone. Website has no options to restore.
« on: October 21, 2017, 01:48:21 AM »
So, mid-road trip in the middle of nowhere, I get a warning saying my phone is stolen. It won't accept any PIN I may have used (I don't think I ever set up AT). When I go the site here, it tells me no detailed information is available.

Any tips on a fix I can do without a trip to the provider and with minimal tech skill?

Error: Disallowed_useragent

Resetting isn't possible. Logging into the site to tell it it's not stolen doesn't work.

Thanks. That just directs me to these forums. I thought I paid for a subscription at one time, but can't find any record of it.

In the end, I gave up and did a factory reset. Thanks for the replies.
