Hello!
My nephew reset the device, and now he doesn't remember the login details to previous google account. What is the best way to skip through the google account verification as it asks for the previous account details to proceed?
Thanks in advance.

It's too late now but he should have made sure the OEM unlock was enabled under Developer options in settings before any reset or wipe. There is no easy way now to get around the Google login but it can be done. It is a complicated procedure involving flashing a particular ROM from Sammobile with Odin and then tricking the device into letting you install a Google Account Manager app and creating a new account. Search through the Q&A threads for FRP and the user "Beut" and watch this video.

Hello all,
I'm posting this here because I'm a noob and don't have the required 10 posts to post this in the Dev section. I just flashed my G2 with the InsertCoin_Vision Sense2.1 + 3.0 (v1.5) ROM and am having a problem logging into my google account to sync it. For the language I selected English (UK) because there was no option for US, and after trying numerous times to sync my google account I get a message saying " sorry your username and password do not match. Please try again. To recover your account information go to google.co.uk/accounts on your computer." I am positive I have the correct username and password, as I am able to log into the account using the phone's and my PC's browsers. I tried to sync a different gmail account and I'm having the same problem. The more I think about it, this really sounds like an issue with the wrong language selection and the phone subsequently trying to contact a UK server rather than US. I also verified on my wife's G2 she has the phone set to English (US) which for some strange reason is not an option on my phone I tried flashing the radio lib matcher and after rebooting the problem persists. ow can I add the option for the proper English (US) language selection? I would greatly appreciate some help on getting this to work. Since I can't post in the proper thread, if you see this siulmagic thanks for your hard work on this ROM.
I did some more research online and found the morelcale2 app and was able to add the English(US) language and I was able to create a new google account however I'm still not able to sync my 2 other google accounts.
Try reflashing or restoring your nandroid and reflashing. Also this wouldn't belong in the development area and would be moved here probably. It could also be a problem with the rom... head over to off topic, get your post count up, and ask around on the thread for your rom.

Thanks deliriousDroid, I assume re-flashing the ROM will overwrite the settings I have set up so far? Will my apps be gone to? I'm really hoping I won't have to re-flash since I spent a good amount of time setting the phone up. Any InsertCoin ROM user having this problem or have any input.

Yes when you reflash all your settings will be erased. You can backup your apps with their data with Titanium Backup and easily restore them later on.

Problem Solved!
I figured I'd post the solution to my problem for anyone else who may experience it at some point. The reason I could not sign into my 2 previously existing accounts but could create a new google account and sign in with no trouble was because I had the google authenticator enabled on my account, having previously installed the app on the phone when I had the stock ROM installed. I had to reinstall the google authenticator app and add a new phone under my account settings on my PC. I then created a new verification code, entered it on the app on my phone and all was well.
Hello,
I originally had CM 7 loaded on my Nook Color, but after a while, it got real sluggish and sometimes crashed, so I had not been using it for a year or two. But recently I decided to give it another try and update it to CM 10.2..1. But when I got to the login screen, it kept on saying that my email/password is invalid. Due to the time that has elapsed, I have forgotten the password. I thought that it was the same password as the one used for my email address, but that was not the case. It's just been too long since I've used the NC, and forgot the password. I don't see any "Forgot Password" or "Password Reset" option. And creating a new account is definitely not an option, because I have purchased apps under the previous account, so I need to retrieve my password. Can someone help this newbie get my password back so I can login back to my old account? Thanks in advance for your help!

Password for what? Google Play Store? It must be if you purchased apps with it. If so just go to Google on your desktop and try to log in. It has a forgot password link.
If it is the password for your screen saver, just boot to CWM and factory reset.

Hi Leapinlar, thanks for your quick reply. I'm sorry, I left out the fact that I have CM loaded on SD card, not the NC internal memory. I'm not familiar with CWM (I assume that has to do with loading CM into internal memory? Sorry, I'm a newbie). I meant the password that you are asked to enter when you power up the Nook Color. It would be virtually the first prompt after turning on the Nook. (I actually encountered this while booting up the SD card for the first time after loading CM on it. I was asked for the email address/ password and also the router's password.) So the question remains: how to retrieve my login password if CM is loaded on my SD card and not internal memory? Thanks again in advance for your help, Leapinlar!
Is this asking you for your CM account password after your first boot from an install? If so there should be a "Skip" text in the lower right. Hit that.

Yes, bowguy, that is the screen that I am having problems with. There is a "Skip" option, but I still need to retrieve my CM account password.
I realized from Leapinlar's reply that there are possibly 2 separate accounts/passwords: (1) the CM account/password, and (2) the Google Play Store account/password, is that correct? If that is the case, then I need to retrieve both, unless they are the same.
I have installed CM from 9.0 to 11 and never had an CM account password. Skip any references to a CM account. You do need two items to get started. First is your WiFi password to connect to the internet. This is how you connect to the internet with your computer. I hope you have that. Then you need to add your google account to your tablet using your gmail name and password. This gets you to the play store.
2 days ago, I factory reset my Mi A1. After that, I have't been able to log in to Google account anymore.
It gives me this error, "Couldn't sign in."
Keep in mind that before I had it factory reset, I had logged into Google account without any problem.
That error seemed temporary so I just skipped through Welcome page (1st boot) and factory reset the phone again. Even after this, there was still the same error.
I installed Quick Shortcut Method and found Google Account Manager showed error. I tried installing a latest Google Account Manager apk but it still didn't work.
Next I tried installing latest Google Play Services apk and still I couldn't connect to Google servers.
Now I'm tired and frustrated, I unlocked the bootloader and downloaded the default ROM and flashed it. To my dismay, the problem still persists.
Please help me out

Do you have the possibility to try with a different Google account? It'd be worth to see if this is an account problem or a general problem. Frp shouldn't be the problem because it wouldn't let you skip adding a Google account during setup but would require you to login to the account associated with the device. Also, have you tried using either WiFi or data to add your Google account?
@dibyansumohanty
If you have a sim card installed in slot 2, move it to slot 1.

Hello everyone
I got a used Moto X Play, and something's wrong with it. It seems the previous owner did a factory reset, so now before using it I have to sync a different google account. I tried with several, both existing and a brand new one, but I always get the same message: "error, try again in 24 hours", and after that "in order to unlock this device, use a google account that had been synced with it before". I guess that means using the account of the previous owner, which I don't have access to.
I don't have access to the settings menu yet because of this.
Is there any way to restore it to a state in which it doesn't ask me for the previous google account? Maybe installing another rom and wiping all current data in the process?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
Somehow I managed to forget my screenlock pattern (changed before lockdown) on my Samsung j7pro j730GM and it does not show any recovery through google password or similar. I need some help to recover access to my phone (preferably without factory reset).
This is the current situation of my phone:
- NOT Phone Rooted, all default
- Currently logged in with my google account on the phone, but can't access it over the google account (i kind of disabled history and other features in my google acc).
- Also "Unknown Sources" should be enabled on my phone.
If there is any way to recover the password via ADB, or to unlock the Data, that would be just awesome...
Thanks for any help.
Should try using Samsung Account, it can override the screen lock, of course after a two-factors authentication...
I just did it yesterday for a securuty test, works like a charm.

Thank you Saponetto, I will give it a try today. Is samsung account a software or i need to register to website you mean?
Ciao Saponetto. Il Samsung account, sul sito della samsung vuoi dire? devo registrarmi?
Yes, this is the simplest way to gain access to your locked phone... Create a simple account at https://account.samsung.com, then access to "Find My Mobile" page.
There you will be able to reset Password or PIN.
Fast and easy.
