I forgot the google account password that I created with my G1.
can i somehow using the G1 recover the password?
(I don't remember the recover question)
so you forgot your password and the answer to your security question??? i think you might be screwed. i don't think you can pull any logs from the phone that will give you your password, it would be a big security hole if it were that easy
Even if it was possible, we would not allow the procedure to be told on our forum.
For the possibilty of it being stolen.
Fill as much of this info out as possible, Google may be able to reset it (if this is really your account...):

i ve tried my correct user name and password and it says that its incorrect. is their anyway that i can master reset the phone. or at least bypass the lock pattern.
Make sure your username is the full email address
Also, you need to user @googlemail.com instead of gmail.com

LOL, did the same thing, luckily on the first day I owned it so wasnt too worried. The only way I got back into my device was by seus update which wipes the phone.
I never used gmail before getting this phone and hurriedly set up an account which I promptly forgot the details of because I wont use it, little knowing it became a security feature of the phone!!, - just to download opera mini,
Its too easy to trip that pattern lock and there is no warning of what you have to do to get back in if you get it wrong.
Needs a warning in sticky X10 FAQ.
hey do you guys mind if you can show me link were i can find the seus update. because i tried the update on the x10 but it tells me that the device is up to date n it does not let me do a master reset.

i lost my phone that had no lock on it.
i researched and found out that i can use the same gmail account on both phones. and that's exactly what i'm worried about. i don't want the person that finds that lost phone to log into wifi and use my stuff.
my question is: if i change all my passwords for gmail and whatever other apps i have that require a log in and password, will the lost device also update it?
how do i go about making sure that the other person cannot access my accounts through wifi?
thanks in advance
If you change passwords the lost device needs the new password as well. So if you change it, no need to worry.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
for facebook, yeah it asked for the new password, but for my k-9mail, it did not ask for a new password.
actually, thank you. i was just being impatient because i had changed my password on gmail and my replacement phone didnt ask for me to re-enter my password, but not it did. thank you!
A guy i know has an s6 edge +. He told me that even after hard reset, it still asks him for his google password, which he does not remember because when he setup the phone, he did it with a new gmail.
So, now that he is locked out, is the only solution to flash the stock firmware through odin? If yes, where can i find stock firmware for s6+? Is it the same as s6 firmware?
Thanks!
Even after Odin flash, it will require the password. Unless you know the password, you are pretty much locked out.
Are you 100% sure about that?
Thanks for replying btw
Am... why doesn't he recover the gmail password ?
I am sure there he needed to put in the Mobile Number to approve the account or some alternate E-mail / Security Questions to recover lost password ?
Well if he tried to fool system - I am sorry to say this - but then he does not deserve an easy solution in this case.
(Thinking n my head: How the f.... do you forget your Gmail password ? If it's new, you just created it, or??)
Best,
Dpool
I agree with you. I'm just trying to help the dude a little bit. As i said in the 1st post, the guy made a new gmail and forgot everything after that. If there is no solution then there is no need for him to make the trip and bring me the phone. Problem is... I want a solid answer and i haven't got that yet. Thanks
I understand it. But people here at XDA are really cautious about answering this type of questions as we don't have certain proof that the phone actually belongs to that person. It is a rule as well. I'm not judging, just saying. I could be wrong as well. There are a lot of ways to recover your Google password including the help of recovery email address. You have to research on that by yourself and this is the clearest possible solution we can give you. Good luck!
If it is really your friend phone, on any samsung store they can help your friend
UPDATE
My brother in law somehow managed to install ransomware on his sprint galaxy s7, me not knowing about removing it with safe mode went into recovery mode and did a factory reset. WELL now i know he forgot his gmail account and now I am dealing with Samsung's Factory Reset Protection, It was Very Frustrating to me not knowing this was the issue as I was under the impression that he knew his google account. So Currently I am trying to bypass this.
Does anyone know if he takes his device into the sprint store if they can verify it is his phone and lift this?
Is the only way to get it back is to either remember the account (how he forgot boggles my mind) or to do one of the bypass methods that have yet to be patched?
How do you restore the device? Will it work if the original Gmail account is used but with a new password or will it only work with the original Username and password?
It lets him set his gmail account and password but then it does the Verification Text which does not come through?
What Exactly is required to pass the Factory Reset Protection?
How do I resolve this issue?
Thanks for reading
this worked for me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVmcr13qDkI&t=0s
I can't believe someone on XDA would recommend another to Youtube!!. Those videos are a bunch of scammers trying to get everyone to do surveys now. Total crap.
Actually... Most of the YouTube videos DO work.. if you want to avoid surveys and etc, they have a feature called "comments".
Actually, That is CRAP. Not true at all.

Hey, how did you end up resolving this? I have the same issue on my end.
Resolved FRP
I resolved it on EBAY. Make sure the seller has 100% positive feedback. Since others are steering people to garbage on Youtube, I don't see why I can't give true answers
Hello!,
Just recently purchased an unlocked S7 SM-G935F phone several weeks back, and got locked of the google account. I can't get password from google because I think the password was compromised. Google refuses to provide the password or reset it. So, my question is how can I modify this phone without having the developers tab tap 7 times get back to it's original firmware? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Sorry but you didn't give enough information.
First of all, if the phone is not yours, give it back to the owner or don't try to access data without passwords: it is illegal, though impossible too.
If it's your legitimate property you can reset your google password with the methods you configured. If you find no way suggested to recover your password you will have to contact directly google customer service and hope they will try to verify your identity and give you someway access to your data, and device too.
The thing of developer option it's not correlate to your problem, maybe you want to install a custom aoftware (rom, kernel etc) but you didn't say that. And anyway there are tons of guides which you maybe already read. If your device is locked there's no way to recover it without your google password. Don't try flash strange things you will brick it.
Suspect

Nope, it's my phone. I purchased it several weeks ago as mentioned before. I have a receipt from Amazon as proof. I honestly got locked out of the phone and can't recall the exact password because I probably tossed it away. I've called google 4 times still no avail. I would like to install a custom rom if possible. Any other suggestions? Id be willing to donate a few bucs.

Then go back to the Amazon seller and ask him/her.
I'm sorry but if you write here on xda you will likely find people who know what is going on. And anyone would be suspicious if you're asking to bypass a security lock. There are 2 cases, one is that that ain't not your device, the other is that you're so dumb to lock a 700$ device with a password you don't remember saying bull****s like " the password was compromised " or, which is fantastic, " I called Google 4 times" like if they have a number to call to get Samsung assistance. I'm really happy theres no way to acces phone without correct psw, but if you want you can keep waisting your time.Mods please throw away this tief
You forgot or "lost" your Google password? This doesn't sound right.
Why not recover your Google password using their online system?
"I cant recall the password because I probably tossed it away"
Love the "probably". Can be hard to keep track of bulls***.
Make your mind up - find a lie and stick to it. Did you probably toss it away or is the password "compromised"?
Good luck trying to fool anyone in here to help you out with your "problem".
If it was legitimately yours, then you would've set up a fingerprint and not only a password, don't you think that would've been smart? That way you would've not been "locked out of phone". Emphasis on "If it was legitimately yours".
Smell test is clear...
Password was compromised, password was tossed away... sounds legit!
I've actually done what this guy has but I did it on a freshy right outta the box with me swing the first owner. However this does seem suspect I would help if I knew you were the first and only owner but seeing you're not I cant.
I'm in the same boat. My father-in-law somehow got his S7 edge locked and forgot his google password at the same time. He went to a Verizon store, but they only told him to recover via google. He shipped the phone to me to try and help him unlock it. Google password recovery is by 3 methods:
1) send a text to the phone. Of course this doesn't help because I can't unlock the phone. I hear the tone when the text comes in, but can't retrieve it
2) Sends a code to another email associated with the google account. He swears its his daughter's email address, but when we put that code in, google says it doesn't recognize her email as authorized
3) tell google what month & year the account was created. He can't remember that either
At this point, I'm willing to pay someone to fix it. I believe it has the newest Nougat firmware. I tried many suggestions from YouTube, but I can't even get to the menu where you connect to a wifi signal.
Anyone willing to help or just think I stole the phone like the previous guy?

Put the SIM into another phone and receive the SMS. Simple.

THANK YOU!. At least I made some progress. Now I find myself in an endless loop...the phone keeps saying "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device".
My father-in-law has 2 Google accounts. Having put his sim in my phone, I was able to reset passwords for both of these Google accounts, but the phone doesn't like either of them.
Any more suggestions?
Oh. Without the sim, I was finally prompted to connect to a wifi.
Is it possible that no Google account was synced with this device?

I've fixed (can now log in) two of my father-in-law's google accounts. Its just that the phone isn't recognizing either of them now. I don't know if he has a 3rd account of if it was possible to set up the phone without one. I'm on Verizon with an iPhone so I don't know anything about android or google.
Read that you have to wait 24 hours after changing Google password, so I'll try it again tonight.
the scotsman - You are my F*CKING hero! 24 hours after resetting the google password, the S7 edge recognizes it and is now unlocked. My father-in-law (& mother-in-law) thank you.
