If Android Device Manager has been activated on the device, is it possible to reset it remotely?

Me too. When I get home, I will look into it also to see what I can find out.

I wonder if it's bc it was already activated before with your gmail. From what I understand, unless you remove your account via device manager, the phone can only be activated with the account associated with device manager.

That's what I was thinking. Very similar to Find My iPhone unless the owner removes it first before sending it off. I'm sure Google is already working on something to disable it if you no longer have the phone.
