So if you accidentally tripped the device reset by being panicked and entering your pin incorrectly a few times, what would happen?

Could be seen as obstruction, they will likely detain you and send you back where you came from ater a few days or weeks...all comes down to the mood the officer is currently in.

They’ll tell you to unlock it. If you refuse, they’ll deny your entry (if you’re a traveler) or detain you and bully you (if you’re a US citizen)
