The Android Device Manager has added the new remote lock device option to the desktop version of Google Play, and can be found under the “gear” icon at the rightmost part of the screen. Once in the module, you’ll be given the option to either make your phone ring at full blast (no matter the current volume setting on your device), lock it with a new lock pattern (overriding the current lock pattern/PIN), or doing a complete factory reset— all without touching your device.
This will certainly make users feel a lot more comfortable when misplacing their device, especially if you have important information on your phone, for your eyes only. If your phone is in airplane mode, the changes will take place as soon as the device is connected to a network.
