This SMS contains a link pointing the device location on the map.
When you tap the link, the special Doctor Web service called Dr.Web Anti-theft Locator opens a browser tab with a map and location of your device on the map. The location accuracy depends on GPS receiver, Wi-Fi networks and GSM transmitting stations. Thus, depending on the available data, the received coordinates may be exact (showing a position on the map) or approximate (showing a circle).
You can select a map service from the list at the top of the map page.

#UNLOCK#Password#
|
Unlocks the device without resetting Dr.Web account password.
|
#WIPE#Password#
|
Restores factory settings of the device and deletes all data from the device memory and an SD card.
This action is also performed when your device is locked and the Remove data option is enabled in the Dr.Web Anti-theft settings.
|
#RESETPASSWORD#
|
To unlock the device and set a new password. This command can be sent only using the phone number from the Buddies list.

SMS commands are not case sensitive. For example, to lock the device, you can send the #LOCK#Password# command written as #Lock#Password#, #lock#Password#, #lOck#Password#, etc.
To get more precise results after sending the #LOCATE# SMS command, enable the use of mobile networks for geolocation in your device settings.
