How to unlock an Android phone after a reset
#1
Quote:There are three ways to get in. The first, using the Google account recovery tool, [b]will only work if you took the time to set up a backup phone (and can swap your SIM card with another phone to get a text) or second email account[/b]. We'll go over how to do that in the next section, but if you already did it you can [b]click this link[/b] to start the recovery process. Make sure your phone is charged and turned on, and make sure you have access to a phone using the recovery number or the recovery account email. If you're using two-factor authentication, you'll need a way to authorize your account. If that would usually be the phone you're trying to unlock, the recovery tool will walk you through the steps to disable 2FA or use a CAPTCHA code.

The next step is to reset your account password from another device, then wait for 24 (or 72 — see above) hours before trying to set it up. You can leave the phone powered on or shut it off, just don't try to do anything with it while you're waiting or you may reset the countdown. Waiting a full day (or three) really sucks, but it's better than not having any access to your account and not being able to use your phone ever again.

The third option is to try hacking your way in. We can't really recommend this for anyone, but if you're the kind of person who likes to tinker with your phone's software and think you have found a hack that will bypass the FRP on your phone it's an option. But know that this can have some serious drawbacks if things go wrong and you might ruin the phone itself. It's not a good option for most people.
If none of these solutions work you can try filling out this form or calling 650-253-0000 to work your way through the Google Accounts customer service menu. You can also try checking with the company you bought the phone from, as they may have experience solving the issue.
If you aren't the original owner and don't have access to a way to recover the account, you'll need to contact whoever you bought it from.
