Hi, I have a Nexus S running 4.0.3 and I have a password (the alphanumeric one) set on it. (someone else set it, it's all a really dumb situation)
I thought that if you couldn't remember your password that you could log in with your main Google credentials, but I see no such option, even after failing the password 70 times!
If I can't do that then how can I get around this password?
Thanks for any help!

It gives you the option to change your password Just click: "Can't access your account?" @ google account sign in via your pc, you'll then be asked to give your e-mail adress & proceed from there!

Ah no, what I meant was there's a password on my phone which I can't remember.
I know my Google password.
You can try Screen Lock Bypass App
I used it on my old phone, worked
havent tried it on nexus s though
works by downloading it from market.android.com
if it works, you can get in to save data/pics and then wipe the phone
it wont recover the pw thought
Never mind, just decided to do a hard reset from recovery. Shame though.
Hi guys,
I have a question about Googles FRP lock.
So yesterday I sold my phone to someone on craigslist and had let him test it out before buying it. I was on the android beta program and he wanted to un-enroll from it so he would be on the latest stable OS.
The next are a series of steps we did to go back to the latest stable OS:
1) Factory reset the phone (my google password was changed 2 weeks ago)
2) Buyer created a temporary gmail to enroll and un-enroll the device from beta
3) Received the system update (latest stable version)
4) Waited for it to finish install
5) Once the phone was booted back up, he forgot the username he had made
6) I try my previous e-mail and get to the two step verification and I get a popup that says please wait 24 hours because of a password change (I read online something about a 72 hour lockout after a password change)
7) Right now I am stuck with a brick device
So my question is, after this 24 or 72 hours lock out time, can I sign back in with my original gmail? Or would the FRP lock me out because the last account that was synced to the device was the account that he created temporary and forgot the username to? Or can I sign in with any Google account that has been previously synced to the device?
Side Notes:
- When I tried signing back on with my account (after I received the popup saying try again in 24 hours) I received an email from Google right away asking me to review the sign in.
- When I check my Google devices, it does show that I have 2 Google Pixel devices on there, the 1st one was before the factory reset, and the 2nd is when I tried to sign in again after the reset (these 2 Pixel devices are the same)
Thank you everyone!
Hi,
Was just trying to update some tool and my Asus ZX551ML device went into bootloop.. So I just tried to flash the ROM again (taking backup of data on PC).
While ROM was flashing via ADB sideload..
While ROM was flashing I also changed my google password as it was unchanged for a very long period.
Once the flashing thing was done, when I tried to login to my Google account, was continously getting message, Please sign in using one of the owner's account for this device.. IT wont even allow me to sign in using another account.
Researched enough that I have to wait for specific number of hours before that FRP - Factory Reset Protection thing is released..
least 24
max 72
kindly confirm what is latest wait time.
Also if there is any other way to sign in ?
Since its my account, I have the SIM card, all recovery emails, all the purchase history, including CC numbers etc. with me.
Or
There is no option and to wait..
1. This is really no security, but a waste totally.. (inspite of having access to all details, I still cannot sign-in or contact google in anyway..)
2. Whats the overall use of security for a thief, if the bypass shall be gone/take away after 3 days.. as read.
3. Since I got this phone, I have only used 1 google account on this device (like majority of people do), how am i supposed to login to other owner account.. on a new bought phone.. OR
should I contact Asus in this case.
Thanks.
Just an update, the FRP has been removed after 24 hours. (It was been reduced to 24 hours now, earlier it was 72 hours)
Able to login with the old account properly now.
Hopefully, this information might help someone in future..
Edit: I've added a screenshot from Google sent to my recovery account (also me,) which shows I am the recovery account (yet have. Mino) contacted me when trying to log in.(
I have a most bizarre problem getting back into my account that I can't believe is happening. Here it goes: (This account is hugely important to me as it's only access to my YouTube channel I've been working on for more than a year,)
I'm the owner of both the locked out account [email protected] and it's recovery email aaaaa@gmail.com which is logged in fine.
Despite having the correct email, password, the physical phone in my hands which has always been used on both accounts, sending this from the same WiFi always uses, located at the same location always used, and as I mentioned the recovery email, I am locked out of [email protected] due to what must.be a mistake.
Here is what happened:
On March 27th, I decided it was time to just factory reset my phone. I make videos for my YouTube channel, and my phone had less then a gig of storage so I decided to do the factory reset.
Just.prior to doing so, I realized it may take me awhile even just to remember the password to get back in since autifilll normally does that for me. So I decided to figure it out before resetting my phone, and reset the password as well so it was fresh on my mind when logging into the reset phone. There are screenshots attached of everything.
Now here is the huge problem which I am unable to get around .
When attempting to log back into my account from my reset phone, iit asked that I provide the one time use code from settings / Google / password!!
Understand, I entered in the correct email address and password, but what it now is asking me to provide is literally impossible to provide for anyone who reset their phone and has not been able to put the email address back on the phone. The code Google is asking me for dies bit exist on a freshly reset phone , and there is not one person in the world who just reset their phone that could provide that number.
And that is the I only option I am being given despite the fact, I own and have access to the recovery email address [email protected] which they have not contacted. And despite the fact I'm using the exact phone and WiFi from the same location always used for this email.
Is there any way thjs can be fixed? I have a YouTube channel with an enormous amount of tied to that account and it's important.
Please respond with your device name. I understood that you are locked out of your device and can't complete the setup. If it is so you just have to reset the FRP partition. Please provide your phohe name to move ahead
Users typically remove all Google accounts from phone - note: their data are stored in accounts.db database - before performing a Factory Reset thus they wil not run into such a trouble.
Hi,
I setup secure folder when I first bought my s22 Ultra (256gb Snapdragon) but never used it. My phone restarted today and I'm now getting prompts to sign in to my secure folder for notification purposes.
Problem being, I've never used it and completely forgot the password! Being incredibly clever I decided that having a recovery option on a secure folder was silly, so didn't setup that option, so now I cannot even reset the password or delete the secure folder.
Is there any way I can delete the secure folder without the password and without having to factory reset the phone?
Thanks for any help!
Try

Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately I don't get a forgot password option as I didn't link it to my Samsung Account.
No option after you enter incorrect password?
No unfortunately not, just asking me to wait 2hrs before trying again. No buttons or anything.
I've used the wrong password so many times it's gone from waiting
2 mins
10 mins
30 mins
1hr
2hrs.
But none with a reset option as I didn't setup the password recovery by linking it to my Samsung Account.

Thanks for that. I had found that link before posting here - as I cannot do the password reset or get the phone to accept a password, I cannot get to the delete button unfortunately I cannot get to any of the secure folder settings without the password.
I've read factory reset will not delete/remove secure folder

It would seem that unless I can somehow remember the password I set, I'm just going to be stuck with this notification for eternity.
I wish Samsung would go ahead and address these random secure folder pop up notifications since it's been going on for a while now..

I spoke with Samsung support and their only answer was to do a factory reset. Not ideal!
For anyone annoyed by the notification and unable to remove it (e.g. if like me you've forgotten the password), I've found a workaround to just get rid of the notification at least until Samsung sorts out the secure folder issue.
Download: Ncleaner (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.easy4u.ncleaner).
Use this to block the notification and then you can uninstall Ncleaner. Reboot your phone and you shouldn't have the notification come up
Bit of an update on this - if you enter the password wrong so many times that you have to wait 24hrs between password attempts, it finally gives you the option to uninstall Secure Folder. Issue solved for me.

I'm having the same problem, but I tried that, but when I press forgot password, it just has a loading screen that never ends

I found a way to reset a samsung secure folder without password and sasmung account (i haven't linked the secure folder with samsung account) but you are going to lose everything in there. I used the Alliance Shield app (Shield Rebirth actually, needs a small donation). I could provide instructions if this is ok here
