You can reset it using the software recovery tool but it will wipe all the data from the device.

It appears that your phone isn't locked for security reasons... it just needs charging. But since you indicated that you've already tried charging your phone, then you could check and ensure that the battery connection is secure and tight, and that the battery contacts are indeed properly aligned and set - and then you can try charging your phone again.

Found this, I guess that's what is reported here : Lumia 920 has been locked for security reason - Microsoft Community

According to http://forums.windowscentral.com/wi...ndows-10-mobile-build-10512-phone-locked.html, you might want to charge it during 2h and then *soft-reset* your device.

I have a lumia 640 with that same error at 100% battery. "This device has been locked for security reasons. Connect your device to a power source for at least 2 hours, and then try again." Only button is emergency call.

the only way is to Had the same problem but after much lamenting, I found a solution that keeps all your data intact and would not require you to do a hard reset. I use a Nokia lumia 830 and I upgraded about two days ago to build 10536 (10.0.10536.1004) if you have set up the FIND MY PHONE function using the WINDOWSPHONE.COM website and your PHONE SETTINGS, you're in luck!. I simply used the lock function on the website to change my lock code to one of my choosing. My windows phone after a few seconds restarted and after booting was complete, I unlocked my phone using the lock code I choose online. That's all!. I don't know why my phone had to restart but I was too happy to care. hope this works for you too even trying this method still phone gets lock again so give us a proper way people are facing this same problem again these days to much pleeezzzz dont disapoint us already we are to much dissapointed :eck::eck::eck::eck::eck::eck::eck::eck::eck::eck::eck::eck::eck:

I faced the same problem with my Lumia 730. If you've opted for "find my phone" in your phone settings, all you've to do is go to account.microsoft.com > Devices > Find my phone > Lock. You'll be asked for a new 6 digit pin. Once you complete that the phone will be automatically rebooted. Now you can sign in to the phone with your new pin. Anyway, microsoft sucks.
