Bluetooth lock

A few months ago I purchased a "Smart Lock" that works via bluetooth with my cell phone. I used it successfully many times, however, getting it ready for my next ride, I accidently locked it and of course when I moved it, it started that shrill screaming it is known for and my connection to my cell was lost, so I could not stop it. Before the neighbirs called the police and accused me of disturbing the peace, I decided to open the battery compartment in order to remove the batteries and hope that would stop the screaming. It did stop by removing one of the batteries, but now, I am stuck. The lock will not open. If I put the battery back in, it starts again and of course my phone will now NOT pair with it. Wow, what a mess. Is there anyway possible to RESET this lock. If not, I guess I will have to get rid of this one and buy a new one and of course be more careful in the future. Thanks in advance for any information anyone can offer.

Bikes: Many, and the list changes frequently

I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer. There has to be someway to do a hard reset on it

Sure, we certainly can help you without knowing the brand and model.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.
