Description
------------------------
When the Google TV is locked through 'Android Device Manager', the password 
will always be required on startup, with no way to remove the lock screen 
requirement from the device settings.

Steps to Reproduce
------------------------
1. Enable 'Android Device Manager' within 'Settings -> Privacy & Safety -> 
Device administrators'
2. Access 'Android Device Manager' from another device 
(https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager) and lock the Google TV.
3. Unlock Google TV using the new password.
4. The lock password is now always required when turning on the Google TV, 
there is no way to remove the lock screen requirement from startup.

Any work-around ideas not involving a system wipe would be greatly appreciated, 
as entering a password every time I turn on my TV is not ideal.

No. Next month I'm getting a new cable plan, so I will try a system-wipe and 
see if that is able to remove it. I have not been able to find another way to 
remove it.

I'm having the same problem having to enter my password after using android 
device manager to locate my android phone.  Have their been any remedies to 
remove the password once device has been located?

The only way I was able to fix this was to do a complete factory reset on the 
TV.

Fixed password issue by going to settings security lock screen enter lock 
screen then disable. Done. Cheers!

Like #4 above, I'm having the same problem having to enter my password after 
using android device manager to locate my android phone. Looks like a factory 
reset is the only way forward at this time. Phone = LG3.
LG-D855
Android Ver 4.4.2
Kernel Ver 3.4.0
Software Ver V10g-EUR-XX

So very annoying!
