Hi All,
I've been doing a lot of searching and reading on the forums but haven't found an solution to my problem.
I've been tgrying to unlock the boot-loader of my tablet for days. I downloaded and installed v8 of the
ASUS unlock tool.
Everytime I try to use it, I get to the "Google Account Verification" step it says:
"Your password is not valid"
I know I've entered the correct password. I've actually signed out of my google accounts from the tablet
and then signed back in just to make sure I wasn't fat-fingering it over and over.
Here're the details:
ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
Android Version 4.2.1
Kernel Version 3.1.10-gb1a9af5
Build number: JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.14.10.20130801
As far as I know, the tablet is absolutely stock (I bought it on e-bay)
If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
I want to unlock, the install TWRP via fast-boot on the way to trying a couple of custom roms.
My search-foo is relatively weak so if I've missed an obvious thread, please forgive me.
atTHANKSvance!

You don't have 2-step verification activ on your Google account, do you?
If yes, you need to disable it for this procedure.

Brilliant!
You have almost certainly diagnosed my problem....
It's late here, but I'll turn off 2-factor authentication and try again in the morning.
I'll post again with my results.
That was my problem..
I didn't actually need to deactivate 2-step authentication. Google will generate an application specific password for those programs that can't handle the 2 step process. I generated one for the unlock tool and it unlocked on the first try.
That was it...
Instead of deactivating 2-step auth, I generated a new app specfic password for the unlock tool. I put it in and it worked the first time.
Thanks again!!

I actually didn't have 2-step authentication activated...BUT...after reading this, I tried generating an app specific password for the Update tool, and worked for me. Thanks for the tip.
Here's another solution: (I couldn't get any of the above solutions to work)
After 20 minutes thrashing around in the jungle of Google settings I discovered that in the Google "Less secure apps" page of the account settings it says "Some apps and devices use less secure sign-in technology, which makes your account more vulnerable. You can turn off access for these apps, which we recommend, or turn on access if you want to use them despite the risks." So I changed the "Access for less secure apps" on that page to "Turn on" and - bingo ! - the Unlock app on my Asus tf700t accepted the Google account password that it had previously been rejecting and went on to unlock the tablet. Then I went back to the "Less secure apps" page of the account settings and changed it back to "Turn off", i.e. I restored it to the more secure setting.
Verily the Asus/Android/Google world moves in mysterious ways.

I have tried this as well and I cannot get my tablet to unlock. I have verified it is registered within ASUS' systems, I have verified I do not have 2 factor authentication and I have less secure access on.
Does anyone have any other ideas how to get passed this Google Password issue?

Yes. Factory reset the tablet, setup wifi but no Google account, run the app, it'll work now

I found that once I deleted my Google account on the tablet I was able to complete the bootloader unlock.
Thanks for the assistance.

I've been trying to unlock mine for over 2 years. V7 unlock installed, removed account, ran unlock tool, VIOLA! Success!
Now, what seems to be the best ROM to use is what I have to figure out next...... is there a solid KK or Lollipop ROM?
I was told by seller to do a factory reset. But now it wants to verify google account. Only problem is the only account it will recognize is my work account which is governed by Okta. This mean it wants me to run Okta verify to get a number. Well how am I supposed to do that if I can't get past the google verification screen. I need a way to bypass this. Anybody really know how? I've googled my heart out and only find how to reset - not what I need.

start by factory reseting it
follow other googled guides to get to internet browser
(ie- talkback settings... youtube account manage...ect.)
goto frp.f0il.c o m and select/hold down first link
choose to open link with gmail
top right three dots for settings .. app settings..
in gmail app settings click notifications
you should* be in phone settings at this point
(im not looking at my fone at this time)
you should* know what to do at this point
(you should combine methods and try the things you googled)
The Main Idea Ill Quickly Cover Here
in settings- app manager - clear/delete caches/data for goog services framework/goog play services &
BOTH setup wizzzardds
in setting- security- enable download from unknown sources - Disable all device administrators
press back 100 times or until you're back at WELCOME screen
with WiFi OFF repeatedly and quickly press next and next and next or okay then back a couple times and repeat until com.android.LGhome (whatever its name is) crashes. your trying to lag out the fone untill Home crashes and when it do it cant load setup wizzz and it cant load goog services or WiFi so it loads home screen wooo hooray... Not done, but you should know what to do if you used google more
settings- backup/reset ---factory reset
done
Oh just remembered an easier way . use LG backup from any other LG device with the app LG backup (id upload it but i suck) and you can just copy an opened devices settings into an frp locked fone once you make it into settings. simple. probably patched now that i posted this. oh wellll
stay in drugs, don't do school kids
*optional methods
insert SD card ... in Storage- navigate to SD install apps (sidebar lite)
in internet browser or youtube app launch gmail and login to microsoft account email (alt method, google it)
*end of optional methods

Don't share FrP bypasses, there's too many people abusing these. I personally had to stop sharing my method of unlocking phones for that reason.
i dont remember my google account and no way to recover it
but my nokia 3 device is stuck after hard reset and ask for google account. what should i do?
Getting desperate here. My friend wanted to do a factory reset because she was running out of space, and everything was lagging. I told her no problem, just make sure to have your correct Google credentials. I don't use Google (Custom ROM FOSS guy) so have very little experience with possible issues.
So we went into the settings and wanted to initiate the factory reset process. She was asked to enter her PIN, which he had forgotten. She always uses fingerprint to access her device. Therefore I went into recovery and did the wipe from there. Everything seemed normal. We were greeted with the welcome screen, entered the Wi-Fi key, then it checked for updates for a moment. After that it asked for a "previous password". Before doing the factory reset, we double-checked her Google credentials to make sure nothing goes wrong. I was a little irritated that it wouldn't ask for her Google Account Email address first. Alas, after several attempts, it just wouldn't accept her Google password. We entered her account on a browser, no problem there.
I did some research, and there have been several people with the same or similar problems. Some report that they need to enter a PIN after factory reset. Seems like HTC is asking for a different password, and not the one for the Google account. Unfortunately she does not remember to have ever created a password for the device.
What really bugs me is that even the official HTC support page for the U11 does not mention this obstacle:
What can I do if I forgot my screen lock password, PIN, or pattern?
www.htc.com
I successfully bypassed FRP on a Samsung Galaxy J5 several years ago, and tried the same with the following tutorial:
Everything goes well, until the YouTube app opens and asks me to update. When I tap on update, it wants me to sign in to Google Play. When I tap on sign-in, it immediately asks for this ominous 'previous password' again.
Hope you guys have a solution. Data is all backed up, but she really needs this phone.
UPDATE: She remembered the password. She said she had to set it up together with the fingerprint when she got the device.
Still, I find it extremely misleading that HTC does not follow its own guidelines. The official support page for this model linked above explicitly states that in order to remove any PIN, pattern or password, you can wipe the device.
