/**
* Force a new device unlock password (the password needed to access the entire device, not for
* individual accounts) on the user. This takes effect immediately. The given password must be
* sufficient for the current password quality and length constraints as returned by {@link
* #getPasswordQuality(ComponentName)} and {@link #getPasswordMinimumLength(ComponentName)}; if it
* does not meet these constraints, then it will be rejected and false returned. Note that the
* password may be a stronger quality (containing alphanumeric characters when the requested
* quality is only numeric), in which case the currently active quality will be increased to
* match.
*
* <p>The calling device admin must have requested {@link
* DeviceAdminInfo#USES_POLICY_RESET_PASSWORD} to be able to call this method; if it has not, a
* security exception will be thrown.
*
* @param password The new password for the user.
* @param flags May be 0 or {@link #RESET_PASSWORD_REQUIRE_ENTRY}.
* @return Returns true if the password was applied, or false if it is not acceptable for the
* current constraints.
