removing password protect

[andrea63]

I recently had to confiscate my 15-year-old son's phone as part of some consequences. He has his phone password protected and I have the password, but it is painful every time I need to access his phone to monitor what is still coming in. Is there anyway I can remove the password protect so I don't have to continue to do this. At this point I don't know if he will ever be getting his Android smart phone back, at one I paid for. Please help, the problem is fairly urgent since I am currently in the middle of the crisis and need to make sure all the consequences are implemented. Thanks!
