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.

No...it would be pretty useless as a security function otherwise...seems pretty suspicious if you ask me...

THIS. I mean i don't see the big deal really if you just have to enter your gmail name and pass. Unless it's stolen or something.
the reason why i asked to do without gmail account is becuase i dont have a data plan.. n for gmail account u needa data plan...
if you got your wifi running it could work throught there if im not mistaken...
what about doing a wipe?
OK, i have done this myself
Yes you need to enter in your gmail username and password but you dont need to be connected to the internet.
The phone must have a cached copy of your credentials on the phone.
get it wrong about 5 times and then enter your username and password
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!!
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...):

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.

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?

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.

Actually my brother was passed away a month ago. Now I tried to use his device. so I've factory reset it!
Now it's asking mail, I don't know what it is. And no one else know it. Watched hell lot's of videos on YouTube and read more than 100 guides but no use.
This moto g4 plus is running on Android 7.0 | December 1 security patch.
Please help me guys. Searched entire house. No bill found and service center people are asking 2.5k ( ₹2500) I am from Hyderabad, India
If you give the device a factory reset and you want to use the phone, use your google account or make one. Why do you want to log in with your brothers account?

He is referring to the lock put up by Google as the factory reset protection.

You can try doing `fastboot -w` followed by flashing stock ROM, else the only way is the service center.

Do you still have his SIM card..? And his email ID also..? Search his Facebook profile to get email ID or any other profiles may have it..
Then open Google from web/browser, go for forget password, choose mobile number confirmation, if you have luck, mobile number can reset password for his email..
