How to unlock phone using DevicePolicyManager

Question

I know how to lock device using DevicePolicyManager..

boolean active = mDPM.isAdminActive(mDeviceAdminSample);
            if (active) mDPM.lockNow();

but how to undo this(unlock a phone)?

i doubt, we cant unlock password protected phone programatically. — KOTIOS, Jul 30 '13 at 11:54

Try this

KeyguardManager mKeyGuardManager = (KeyguardManager) DetSystemService(KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
                KeyguardManager.KeyguardLock mLock = mKeyGuardManager.newKeyguardLock("MainActivity");
                mLock.disableKeyguard();

However, I am not satisfy myself with this solution as it uses deprecated methods... hope that someone knows more...
