I have been struggling with Xiaomi to get this error corrected in my Mi account, "The phone number is already associated with another account". I have tried to register the phone so that I can get it unlocked and eventually on a better rom. Without a phone number in the account the Mi Flash unlock utility won't work. At least I think this is the problem. I have no problems making or receiving calls, but unlocking seems tied to the phone number on my Mi account. Is this correct?
When I run Mi Flash the Unlock button remains grey and unresponsive.
This issue is that when I go to my Mi Account (setup for the new phone) and then to security to add my phone number I get this error " The phone number is already associated with another account ". I have found through trying to add the number that I have a second account with Xiaomi with my phone number registered to it. Unfortunately, this second account only shows me the first two and last three numbers of the Mi account. I can't delete this account or change my phone number and am stuck at square 1.
I have been through Xiaomi support with emails every day for a week and I guesss I can't explain this well enough for them to fix it. They keep recycling the same instructions that don't work because of the second account issue. Very frustrating, because their response comes overnight and mine through the day, so only one response a day.
Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it. I'd appreciate help with this.
RESOLVED
OK, I finally resolved this via Xaomi support. I went to the Mi Account login page and clicked on "Forgot Password". Then I entered the phone number and then entered the veriication code sent via text. I got into the old account, got my account number - noted that my phone number was associated with the old account and then logged out. I then signed into this web address to delete this duplicate account - https://account.xiaomi.com/pass/del. I entered my login information and then deleted the account.
You have to be logged out of your Mi Account on the phone, or you will get an error.
After this I went in and successfully added my phone number to my Mi Account.
So simple, but it takes the right steps and you need the link to delete the account. You can't do it from your Mi account.

Hello, my friend used finger scanning as security screen lock for his note 5.
suddenly his note 5 resets without me touching it.
he was stuck at the gmail verification account knowing that he forgot the email he synced his phone on . (He used one of the suggestions given )
i tried to hard reset his phone as a guess to set it up again.
I read on internet and noticed that he has to wait 72 hours before trying.
the big issue is that after 72 hrs , he doesnt know his gmail so to login again .
Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks in advance friends
Hello,
We can't help him remember his Gmail or recover his account, if he wants to get back in his phone he can create a new gmail account in order to at least be able to use his phone.
Then he will have to contact Google support to initiate the process of recovering his original account, once he has verified everything and google gives him what he needs to get back in to his original account he can then use that to sign in to his phone with his original account and get all his stuff back that is backed up and associated with his account.

I've got this problem and i'm not able to use my Mi4c since 2 days: i changed rom and when i've to add mi account it says that:
This device may be associated with existing Mi Account (124***603). Sign in to activate this device.
The problem is that that account is not mine, the id is different. Btw the password of the account is the same as mine but there's another problem, when i press activate it goes to a very bugged page called Verify your identity.
I tried everything from there: i cannot use my device right now, i can't access to that account from web because i don't know the mail or the number associated to it. I chatted with support but they didn't nothing cause they can't access to account infos.
What can I do? Thanks in advance

That is the security feature. What if you are not the owner and you are trying to put your hands over others phone. May be you can try clicking help me finding my account option on the screen.
I need help, in order to reactivate the pocophone mi acct again it needs the old number but totally forgot it since using a new number now. How do you activate your pocophone again to get the newly fresh setup if you don’t have access to the old number anymore? The phone suddenly turned off like there is a virus then when it opened again it is asking for the old number mi acc to be reaactivated again. Do you know a solution for this? There is no email registered, only the number

Call customer support for the service provider that you used the old number with, they should be able to give you your old number and get this issue straightened out.
