private static DevicePolicyManager dpm =
        (DevicePolicyManager)context
            .getSystemService(Context.DEVICE_POLICY_SERVICE);

private static ComponentName admin = 
        new ComponentName(context, DeviceAdminManager.class);
// add password policies you want
dpm.setPasswordQuality(admin, DevicePolicyManager.PASSWORD_QUALITY_UNSPECIFIED);
dpm.setPasswordMinimumLength(admin, 5);

**boolean result = dpm.resetPassword("newPassword", RESET_PASSWORD_WITHOUT_ENTRY);**
