my friend has pressed to many times the wrong fingerlock-grafic
so my magic says to me that i have to put now my google account name and password, but i had forgotten which i used when i first created it on the magic at first boot. So i went to my Pc an pressed i forgot my password, changed it and its possible to login to my googlemail account on PC, but if i type in the same on the Magic it doesnt works to unlock my Magic ... i am very frustrated
Has it a data-connection?
If not, try to set APNs (if avaible by pressing menu)
Or try this:

I heard someone else had this problem. When you change your password online, it doesn't update to the handset cos it is disconnected for security reasons, and so it is still looking for your old password.
Hard reset it, when you log back in, your contacts and calendar etc will re-sync automatically, and all the apps you installed should be in the my downloads sections of the market.
The moral of the story is:
If someone can break it, they will, so turn all the security features OFF before letting friends play with your phone!!

Hey guys!
A friend of mine bought a HD2 today and is currently trying to setup his gmail account with the automatic settings.. bad thing is that it always asks him for the password! De checked the box to save password but it still asks for it..
any suggestions?
You have to enter the email address in full not just the start, for example
[email protected]
tried everything! he also tried my settings, username and password! on my device it works like a charm but on his.. no chance.. no idea
Try typing the password on a place where it appears in clear (like the username box) to see if some letters wouldn't be swapped because of keyboard layout weirdness or such...
We also tried it on PC via MyMobiler but didnt work! The password is 100% correct..
is it a googlemail or gmail account?
i have the same problem on CleanEX ROM 2.01.
The built-in gmail option always worked perfect for me until today. Something happened yesterday that prevented phone from booting, so had to hard reset it. Reinstalled my normal apps, and now trying to set up gmail again and it keeps asking for passwords for both accounts. The passwords I'm typing are 100% correct, absolutely no doubt as to validity or typing correctly.
Edit: got home from work, and it's working fine now. didn't even have to enter in the passwords again. Not sure what the issue is/was, perhaps gmail issue?
same issue after a hard reset still asks my password.. noticed that in account setting option it automatically creates a long password (encrypted so I 'm not able to see what is it) and if I insert mine seems it doesn't recognize it... back in account settings I find again that long password..
EDIT: to solve I deleted the email account from device, then I removed email tab from those thare visualized... soft reset... re-visualized the email tab and then re-create my account ( I mean with the old data)
maybe it's the browser? if u r using opera, go to the settings/advanced and see if "allow cookies" is disabled. Mine is enabled and I get right thru
I get this too every now and then (happened today). It always sorts itself out in the end though. Give it some time and try again.
The problem with google.... This happened to me as well about 2 weeks ago but only on one of my accounts. I could log in the web service but not through my phone or outlook. I went in the web way and changed my email setting to forward all mail to another account then after a few days all was well again.
I was forced to change my password today due to 30 day timing on the email password.
So where in the Atrix do I change the gmail password? I tried, accounts, gmail but there is no password box/option in there.
Any ideas?
I'm not understanding: GMAIL doesn't force you to change passwords at thirty days.

Well I work for the largest company in the world that uses Gmail as it's email system. Therefore gmail has corporate requirements of password changes.
Not no matter that I need to change the password on my phone and I cannot find out where to do it. Any help?

Delete the account, and add it back up. Problem solved
"Therefore gmail has corporate requirements of password changes."
I understand now, but I think you mean "our corporate IP has requirements of password changes". GMAIL is incidental, their email policy probably applies to all email.
I poked around and saw no way to change passwords, that's odd. Before you try diablo's solution...Try changing the password, then accessing the account with the phone. It MIGHT be one of those invisible Google things, if the password is rejected I would expect the phone to ask you to confirm/re-enter the password. The same way that a lot of email clients do, when they get a "password rejected" messager from a mail server.
Or...ask the whiz kids in corporate IT.<G> I always figured if they're that concerned with security, they should ante up and buy RSA fobs for everyone. THAT's almost security. Passwords? Is it under your mouse pad, or your keyboard?<VBG>
if you use the actual gmail app on the phone, it should ask at some point when it tries to check.
Found this from some other forum:
I needed to change my gmail password for security reasons, but I knew this would mess with the G1 account too, since they use the same login info. I searched for a way to change/update the password on the phone and couldn't find it. So, on a whim I went to google.com/accounts on the browser, signed in, then clicked on "Change Password". After changing it successfully, I went back to the Home Screen on the phone, opened the GMail app, clicked on Menu, then Refresh. I got a sync error, but the notification gives an option to re-enter your password. I entered the new password, and voila, it worked.
Even the reasoning for this is pretty convincing:
i think they designed it like this so if you got your phone "stolen/lost" you HAVE a way to change your password via online rather than you phone cause obvious your phone is stolen/lost =D

I did this on my friends captivate and it worked. However there is no popup for a failed sync that allows you to update the password on the Atrix.
This is insane. Why would I be forced to delete an account and add bak to change a password.

Something is not right.
Look in ur 'status bar' or in the pull down notifications screen.
Are u sure sync ran? Try sending a test mail from a different account to this and see if it retrieves it properly. Reboot phone n see if the sync was using a cached connection.

This is insane. I tried synching in accounts and in gmail app as well. It fails but no option to reenter the password. Even google talk fails but only a retry option or a cancel option.
Since this is my master account I have to factory reset.
This just can't be right.

Wait. Try going to settings --> applications, and clear data for gmail, gmail storage, etc n see if that works.
I read horror stories about this but when I changed my password I was prompted. I forced a gmail sync which failed and it put an exclaimation mark in the notification bar which I dragged down and clicked. Prompted for a new password and then I was good to go. This was on a phone with Sense and 2.2
Only thing I would worry is if moto screwed it up but I doubt it.

Nope that didn't work either...
AT&T Can't figure it out
Motorola Andriod Level 1,2 & 3 can't figure it out
This is absolutely insane that you cannot change a gmail password. Can anyone else try it? You can always change yours back...I can't since I cannot reuse passwords for 180 days.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to return the phone since I love it but I can't go through this every 30 days!

It worked fine for me. Got the little exclamation point notification, clicked, and entered my new password. Are you not getting that? Could it be some setting on your company's side? When you try and refresh your gmail app, does it just do nothing?

I have tried to sync in both the gmail app and sync in the accounts area in settings. Nothing really happens and definitely no notifications of failure in the app. When I try to sync in settings>accounts I get the following: Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." That is next to a sync logo with the red exclamation point in it. That notification appears in the window at the bottom and not in the notification bar.
When I have cell access again I will change my personal gmail account and see if I get a notification.
Ok so a bit more movement on the topic. I do get the notification that asks for the new password on my personal gmail account. I do not get that notification for the corporate gmail account.
Any ideas now?
Well it is working now. Did a factory reset, setup account again. It was working, changed my corporate gmail password and this time on t he phone I got the notification.
Only difference was that I did not have it rooted at the time. Hopefully it doesn't happen again!

It means the previous owner had created the account. The prompt you see is the login, a security measure in case of sim change.
I think a factory reset from recovery will clear it.(am not sure, never tried it)
Doesn't matter from where I send it, what matters is written above
Hello I've had my s5 for about 8 months I just recently did a hard reset so like any other new cell it asks for a Google account and a Samsung account if you have one...
Well I put Google account and everything is OK.. By the time I punch in my details for the Samsung account it says processing failed. I know it's not my details because I have 1 other Samsung s5mini and has the same I'd and password.
It's basically a paperweight right now it won't let me get passes the 3rd screen (Samsung account loggin)
Please help
I am having the same problem as well. I bought my phone from someone else over a year ago so I am not sure if it wants their account or what. The crazy thing is that if I use an incorrect password it says invalid password, but when I enter the right one I get processing failed. Not sure what to do, can't Odin older firmware
Check youtube for "Bypass Galaxy S5 reactivation lock"
same thing here. when i use the right password says, processing failed. when i use wrong one, it says, wrong password
pain in the butt this thing.
Samsung account username/password (test - validation) this is easy to be performed by a computer logging at Samsung website.
Customer support of Samsung this is amazing, if you contact them.
In case that you do log-in normally in your Samsung account over the web, and when you do that from your phone this Fail, then something is heavily wrong, and also Samsung customer support them will hold the answers about that too.
Check Samsung Account app permission ... grant everything and try again
I spent the last 6 hours on this, but I'm finally up and running. Forgot that reset your pw and wait 24 hours BS. The problem is the older devices don't recognize the 2-factor authentication, which means you have to sneak in the backdoor and turn it on. No need to call 911 either - leave those lines open for real emergencies! Here's the step by step, (assuming I haven't forgotten anything).
1. On login page, select the microphone button. This will take you to keyboard options. Select "set hot keys" and type any text in the field.
2. Highlight the text and tap to select Google Assist. On the menu that pops up, hit the share icon and then Google Drive.
3. Okay, this is the part I'm blanking on, so good luck! Somehow from here, I was able to access an address bar. I suggest clicking around until something pops up.
4. Once you get to an address bar, type in "Quick Shortcut Maker" and install and open the app. This app creates shortcuts to various applications on your device.
5. In the app, select Applications and scroll to "Settings." Voila! You just snuck in the back door. Interestingly, I was able to access all kinds of applications this way - NOT VERY SECURE SAMSUNG!!
6. The irony of this next step will blow your mind. Head over to the "backup and reset" menu and select factory reset. I know, you're probably thinking, "this is how I got here in the first place." That's what makes this SO funny.
7. Before you can perform a factory reset, Samsung asks you to verify your pw. Go ahead and enter it again. You will magically end up behind the curtain where you are prompted to enable 2-FA on your phone. Yay! And now you are logged in.
8. Before restarting go to the "accounts" menu in settings and view and verify your profile info associated with the Samsung account. I went ahead and entered my phone number here just in case that mattered.
9. I did all of the steps above with the sim card out. It still didn't work at this point, but after reloading the sim card, I am back in business!!
Hi guys, so I wanted to sell this tablet and I thought it would be easier to just Hard Reset it and then go by the usual initial configuration. The thing is, my account it's not working.
The tablet has my little girl's account and it was family linked to mine, but none of the two accounts does it.
I've tried some tutorials to bypass this but they just doesn't work, *#0#* doesn't show anything, I can't install APK's even with SmartSwitch, Configurations just random says "Stopped Working" and so on.
Did someone ever encounter something like this? I done the FRP thing once when my mom forgot her account password but it was pretty easy.
Cheers!

Sorry, but FRP is no longer "easy to bypass". If the google account is one of a family account, you might be able to use the password manager in Chrome to find the account login and password.
Yeah, I tried with both of the accounts but none works pretty weird situation
