How to change the result status "Failed" after the test to "Passed"

Question

We make a picture of a LCD screen and look if its all working. Sometimes the LCD screen is working propper but the Step Failed. In case automatic LCD test fails we show the picture from the camera to the user and he can decide if the LCD screen passed or failed. So when the user decide that the screen is working propper we should overwrite the status of the automatic test that in the report and database shows lcd screen test passed. I tried with 
RunState.SequenceFile.Data.Seq["Check_LCD_V3-0"].M​ain["154 Execute - All Horizontal Segments On"].Result.Status="Passed",
RunState.SequenceFile.Data.Seq["Check_LCD_V3-0"].M​ain["154 Execute - All Horizontal Segments On"].Result.PassFail="True",
But in the database the Status of this step is still "Failed"
What i do wrong?
Thanks

I recommend the following:
1) Make the automated LCD test an Action step rather than a Pass/Fail step and instead set a local variable to whether the automatic LCD test failed (e.g. Locals.AutomatedLCDFailed).
2) Create a new Pass/Fail test (using the none adapter) that takes both the local variable and the user's input into account to determine it's pass/fail status (e.g. Set the step's data source to an expression like: !(Locals.AutomatedLCDTestFailed && Locals.UserLCDTestFailed)
As an alternative to making 1) an Action step you could leave it a pass/fail step and uncheck the step setting on it for "Step failure causes sequence failure". Then you could use the status of that step instead of Locals.AutomatedLCDTestFailed. The one difference is that the automated test will still show up as failed in your report even though the sequence can still be passed. It's somewhat a matter of preference.
Hope this helps,
