Lockdown Mode on Android

Hi, I've got a Motorola smartphone and on the screen that says "power of", "restart" etc, I accidentally hit "Lockdown".
And now I can't figure out how to get it out of lockdown Mode. It's not letting me go into settings or anything else. It's not even letting me power off or restart the phone. I can tap "emergency" but it just gives me the option to phone 999.
I'd be really grateful if anyone could help. Thanks

Lockdown basically shuts of you biometric login....Once you log back in with your pin/pattern Lockdown is turned off. You have to enable it each time you want to use it AFAIK.
Not sure why you are not getting the option to log back in, or power it off.
Have you tried to force power off by holding the power button for at least 20 seconds?Drinking Rum before 10am makes you
