How to set device password using managed profile in Android 5.0

Question

I am working on managed profile application in android 5.0 while trying to set password using code given below.

manager.resetPassword("123456",DevicePolicyManager.RESET_PASSWORD_REQUIRE_ENTRY);

But it's throwing an exception like Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: You can not reset the password for a managed profile. is there any work around to set the password using managed profile owner. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

1. java.lang.SecurityException is because managed profile owner cannot reset the primary user's password.
2. The managed profile owner can set the password quality but resetting the password is not allowed.
