HELP!! Sheriff Android Locked My Phone!!!

While install the Sheriff Android security app, my doctors office chose to call at that precise moment and the conversation was so long that I forgot I had been installing the app and now my phone is locked and I cannot figure out the password for it. Is there an app or some other way to get around this security lock without me having to go up to MetroPCS because I do not have money to pay them to do some simple stupid trick and I have only 3 more hours to make a seriously important medical call. Thank you!:bawling::bawling:

Nevermind, :-O suddenly remembered my laptop internet password and figured it out-DUUUHHHH. I would like to know what to do in case this happens in the event (God forbid) I don't remember (happens a lot because a disease is eating away at my brain). In searching, I found a Phone Unlocker in the Market (aka Google Play). Could someone explain tho, how it works? I don't know if I'm allowed to put the link in (got temporarily banned for that trying to explain what I needed help with but was reinstated-thank you) Thank you!
 
I'm so sorry to hear about your condition. I don't know much about security apps, but since you know that remembering passwords is difficult with your illness, you might consider something else. I use an app that, if the phone is lost or stolen, you can go on a browser or text the phone to find its location. It's called Where's My Droid.
