Hello,
my Grandpa owned an Huawei P9 Lite for a while and he used his Google account with some random Name.
Everything was good until yesterday where I failed to install the update, bricked the phone and was forced to re-flash the firmware which caused Google Lock to trigger.
The problem is that my Grandpa is now dead since three months and I only know his e-mail address but don't know the password and the recovery mail where I have access to it : P
My provider don't want to help me because it is an Software problem which isn't covered by the warranty.
Is there any method to bypass this crap or is there any way to find out the password of the google account?
I tried every recovery option but I failed because I don't know the pin of the sim card which is registered to that account or because they asked stupid questions like what is the name of your mother...
I hope someone can help me since I was only able to go into trigger the phone into home screen by installing Apex Launcher using an YouTube tutorial but I always failed at the option where I had to log in into my google account using quick shortcut maker app.
**Solved**
Just discovered that my grandpa put the login and password information of his gmail account literary into the computer in the near of the hard drive XD

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.
First problem:
A few days ago i changed my gmail PW. Now the android features on my phone don't work. When I'm prompted to enter my PW, i get a network connection error message. I've tried 'force stopping' the gmail, and google apps, turning 3g on/off, without any luck. Toying with this issue has been testing my patience. I'm hoping to find a solution before i perform a hard reset.
Second problem:
I've had the phone for over a year running 2.2.X CM6.X. Since 2.3.X released, I wanted to manually update to gingerbread but i keep getting the 'error 7' code. I've looked around on the forums for solutions: reverting to an unmodified build followed by 'update.zip'
Specs:
Android version 2.2.1
Baseband 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernal Version 2.6.35.9-cyanogenmod
Mod Version: Cyanogenmod-6.1.1-N1
Build: FRG83D
The phone is rooted and bootloader is unlocked. I'm a noob with the android.
Paypal $10 per problem to the person who can get me out of this hole. I know your time is money so a little compensation is being offered. Reward yourself with a beer or latte.
Go to Settings > Accounts & Sync Settings
Tap on your Gmail account
You will see a 'Remove Account' button - Hit that
Your phone should now have no account associated with it
Do a reboot (not really necessary though)
Back in the Accounts & Sync Settings, Add a gmail account by hitting 'Add account' button
That should take care of Problem #1
Problem #2:
Get the zip from the OTA here
Boot into recovery and do a Nandroid backup
Wipe Data + everything
Wipe again
Flash the OTA ZIP you downloaded
Reboot into phone
Once rebooted, setup your Google account again
You should be back in business

Thanks for the reply chetanthaker.
1. I don't have gmail as a separate item under sync. i use the default email client for both yahoo/gmail. When i try to remove my gmail account, it says i can only get rid of it by restoring to factory default.
2. I'm not sure where the issue is but even after i did a hard reset i can't login with my google account (the one i changed my PW to) nor the new account i made to verify if the issue is with my phone or accounts. Let's say i manage to update the to Gingerbread, won't i still have the same issue logging into my G account?
1. If you say you do not have a separate Gmail account on the list, that means your phone is not really connected to Google (in it's real sense) - So forcibly closing Gmail and the other Gapps won't really have any effect. (I'm assuming when you have a data connection, your EDGE/3G/WIFI icons do not really turn green from the regular white.
When you first configure your phone, you should ideally configure your gmail account first (so you get access to Market and the other stuff as well). You can then disable Sync on Gmail and add 2 accounts in the default mail app to send/recv email.
Do a Nandroid and get rid of all the accounts (may do a factory reset)
Start with adding a google account and you should be set.
2. You will not have that problem unless you Wipe your data via recovery. All that will happen is you will start fresh with adding your primary Google account

so far i've tried the following (without success):
- removing all accounts from sync list (except the main google account which i can't remove unless i do a factory restor).
- toggle 3g/2g
- logging in with a new google account
- attempt to login via Wi-fi without SD card and/or sim card
- trying old passwords (i thought i might have been entering the wrong PW, but i verified by logging into my gmail account; i'm sane)
- holding my breath and crossing my fingers
- performing a wipe of the phone memory (still can't login with either new or old google account).
Logging into youtube (linked google account) won't work b/c im in china. Initially i thought the hiccup would be due to china's great wall, but i've used this phone here for 8 months and changed my google PW successfully in within. I'm truly at a loss.
I'm still getting emails via default email program (yahoo/gmail accounts).
The internet works
Whatsapp works
And most importantly angry birds still works.
Maybe if i can find a way to update to Gingerbread, this issue will miraculously disappear.
Hi.
Did you try removing the Email app from the Device Administrators?
Maybe that's the reason why you are unable to un-link your Gmail account
Settings > Location and Security > Device Administrators
Uncheck the Email app (screenshot) and try

i don't have the option for my email under device admin list :/
the really odd thing is, i can't log in to my TF101 either...even after restoring back to factory settings. I'm convinced its either Google or China that's punishing me.
Well, with you wanting to update, are you wanting to update to a stock Gingerbread version, or to CyanogenMod's Gingerbread version?
If it is the latter, just go download the latest version 7.1.0. The best way to upgrade is to backup all your apps and app data with an app like Titanium Backup. Then perform a nandroid backup (basically a snapshot of your current system) and wipe the /system partition and perform a Factory Reset/Data Wipe. Then install CM7 and the latest gapps (found from http://goo-inside.me/gapps) and reboot the phone. Once you are in, try to add your google account back to the phone (hopefully it works with a completely blank slate). Then connect to the market and get Titanium Backup back and restore all your apps and app data.
I'm not sure if it's a default security feature from google, but 24 hours after i changed my password and it let me login to my account again...However i'm having issues logging into Gtalk.
Thanks for all your help. Now let's see if i can get it running Gingerbread!
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.

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.
