http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/admin/device-admin.html you can't set the password yourself but you can tell them to enter a new one and lock the device if you want.

Yes you can! See DevicePolicyManager.resetPassword(...) and DevicePolicyManager.lockNow().

Requires android:permission="android.permission.BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN"

Cheers!

Prompt user to set a new password.

Lock device immediately.

Wipe the device's data (that is, restore the device to its factory defaults).
