I haven't ever come across anything that can disable the hardware unlock key, sorry.

I open again this old post because I have a question for which I can't find the answer neither in the forum or in internet...and I have other 2 questions regarding the same topic.
1) I tried the script for the remote locking of the device and it works, but if the user moves the lock/unlock switch on top of the device (the button over the screen), the device will be unlocked again.
there is a way to avoid this behavior? asking in a different way: does exists a remote command for the TOTAL lock of the device?
2) can the command be modified in a way to don't show in the middle of the screen only the huge lock, and instead displaying only the info message "Touch screen and display locked" like in the normal usage?
3) I noticed that the brightness decrease when the device is locked: can I avoid this behavior and keep the brightness always at the same level?
thanks in advance.
bye bye

with that command, if someone hits the switch can unlock the display again...and when the device is locked, the brightness decrease immediately.
bye bye,
