Hey xda'ians.
I wanna ask if there's a way to remove completely the Google account from deep inside the system so that whenever I reset or flash any custom ROM it shouldn't ask for the previous account which was signed in.
Actually I am facing a problem with my google account and I cannot access it any way possible.
Plss if any one knows how to it would be a great appreciation and help

Hello!
So today in classone of my classmates found out how to download and install any apps on my and my friends Nexus 5 without we knowing it or allowing it.
The only information I gatherd from interrogating him are listed here:
I did "95%" of the work myself by logging in with my google account on my phone
it is done via PC
it has something to do with google play account and connecting to google gmail
EDIT:
it can be done for every phone but he choose this one
it was all on one site, no download
if anyone know how to do it or how to stop someone from doing this please replay ASAP.
Thanks!
To put it simply,
Your classmate likely knows your google account (gmail) password.
By knowing this they can easily log into the play store using your account from a PC and push (install) any app to any device on your account.
Change your password ASAP !

That is no magic trick and certainly no hack or bug.
Your Phone is linked to your Google account, so when you are logged in with your Google account on a PC then you will be able to install Apps from the playstore to any phone that is linked to the same Google account.
Don't let other people play around with your Google account!!!!
And if you're not sure if your classmate saw your password then change it ASAP and to be sure enable 2 step authentication in your Google account.

nope, changed the password yesterday so nothing to do with my email.
I have my class email connected to my phone and i think that is the point, disconnected it now, lets see if thats the case. I will say that he is dumb and doesnt know how to hack XD
OMG XD
indeed it was the class email XD
im soo dumb,
thanks to everyone trying to help me out
The only problem is that my phone still appears on the account and when its clicked to install, i get an error on my phone (503)
I know someone that forgot their Google sign in and lock the phone out. I did a hard reset, now it says sign into a Google account that was "previously synced to this phone ". I'm guessing it is antitheft built into the stock rom any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi,
Tell them to think harder and remember. Or go online to Google and fill in a forgot password form.
And if they completely forget their email and password..... Well, then I'd say find the real owner and return the phone.
Good luck!

Hi guys! I'm new in this forum (at least new on posting). I had an issue with a device and I think maybe you can help me.
My girlfriend's device (Moto G XT1040) was working really laggy and slow after updating to 5.1, so I decided to do a factory reset. Before that, I made a backup of all the photos and contacts on the cloud, so I can recover them later. I've made the reset, started the device fresh, set up the Google Account, but none of the contacts and photos were there, not even the apps she bought on Google Play (in fact, there wasn't any downloaded app related to the account).
The thing is that I can't remember which account was set BEFORE the reset, but considering that my gf has only one G. Account (for real, she doesn't even use Gmail, she uses Outlook), is kind of strange that it isn't the same account she used previously. And as far as I know, there's no way to backup photos on "Photos" app witouth a Google Account, right? So those images went somewhere when I did the backup...
First, is there any way to find which Account was set up in the device before the reset? (I tried looking at the browser history, youtube history, even location log, but nothing comes up). Second, if the account was the same, what happened?
Thanks in advance for your help, and sorry for my rusty english!
Would it be possible you set her phone up on your account? You can check https://security.google.com/settings/security/activity?pli=1 on you google and her account and see whether the device pops up. Searching in the other direction, I would know.
Yep. She had another account that even she didn't knew... Sorry to waste your time guys. And thanks a lot for your help!

Did you forget username or pasword?
Pasword can be changed in gmail web page.
If you forget username than must to write other email adress which is asociate with you gmail account.
Sent via Xperia Z2
If U just bought it use warranty, because this is for preventing of usage of stolen phone, in older z3 u can flash firmware and google account is deleted but in z5 and x if U lost your phone no one can use it.
now how can i use my phone?
i want to set new account til can use my phone.
when i turned on , ask me google account
Hello,
I have a common phone at home, generally used by everyone in case of emergency.
I have added my google account to same (my main account).
I have made an added another google account to the device.
I want this active to be active for any activity performed on the device..
Specially when installing stuff from playstore or watching youtube or using google app..
If there is anyway.
Or simply please guide me to remove my main account from 2 accounts available.
