(Playstore) Wrong password in Tablet MID900SC - General Questions and Answers

I have a tablet which a can not log into the playstore.
The Exact error is:
Couldn't sign in
Your Username and password don't match. Try Again.
I tried:
-Changing password to a easier one (same error when validating)
-Adding an account in Settings>Accounts (same error when validating)
-Creating an account directly in the Error message (it has the option of create or sign in, but same error when validating)
-Downloading an APK compatible (Android 4). It can be installed, but the same error shows up when validating the username and pass.
-Deleting cache, deleting updates on the app.
-Checking my wifi signal (3 differents networks of different companies)
-Factory Reset
-Recovery Mode
I know the password is correct, because in the browser of the tablet I can log in into gmail.
And in the logs of the gmail account, the session appears but with the description "You logout"

Someone can help me to see what am I doing wrong? or if I'm missing something
I think the only option left is to install a custom Rom but I don't know which one because of the unknown brand

Hi everyone , this is my first how-to guide
i will try to keep it as clear as possible
NOTE : I will not be held responsible if you change your wifi mac address for illegal purposes.
A backup of your NVRAM is recommended.
Method 1(via Engineering mode)
This method does NOT require ROOT access.
1.Download MTK Engineering Mode shortcut app from here :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.themonsterit.EngineerStarter

4.Click Wifi
5.Click NVRAM
6.In Byte String Access put values as
addr(h,byte) : 4
length(byte) : 6
7.Click Read. The 12 Digits shown in value(h) field is your current wifi mac address.Better make a note of it.
8.Erase the value(h) field and now put your own 12 digit mac address,
IMPORTANT:
RULES FOR WIFI MAC ADDRESS
1.Should be 12 Digits long only
2.Should have hexadecimal characters only (0-F)
3.Second digit of mac address should be Even Digit only (0 or 2 or 4 or 6 or 8 or A or C or E)
valid example - 0205160F0A3E
invalid example - 016GEABCDF59
9.Click write.

Lenovo S920, MT6589 device, data folder is empty. Nevertheless there's a lot of stuff in the folder /dev, but no /APCFG/APRDEB/ route at all either.
The first "non-root" method didn't worked for me either. It changes the MAC but when I am trying to connect to the router with this "new" MAC, which by the way it worked in my Galaxy Note with Cyanogenmod 10.2 installed, the phone can't get internet, although it connects to the router.

Now I know that all these "Droids" are not created equal... But, I suspect that your unable to find the /APCFG/APRDEB/ in the /dev Folder... Is 'cause its under the /data Folder....

That'll net you the first Four Digits plus the last Eight of your MAC Address... Such as it is.
Though I'll doubt that this too would survive a wipe. Before heading back off to 00:08:22:xx:xx:xx-random-land again...
nice guide but is there any way to permanently change MAC address. it auto Revert back to original MAC address On reboot
Thanks!

chamelemac
I know of this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cryptotel.chamelemac&hl=en
chamelemac
it changed mac adress for Leva ported Rom perfectly.And it persist through restart of phone.
It will however have "error not compatible device" if device prop is changed to something like "samsung galaxy" etc.

Worked for me too!!!! Every time i reboot, the last 3 par of HEX char randomly change.
After set the original mac address with Chamelemac, and a reboot, MAC ADDRESS remains!!!!
NOTE: tested and working with MT6595 Zopo zp999 3gb RAM 32gb ROM
5.Click NVRAM
6.In Byte String Access put values as
addr(h,byte) : 4
length(byte) : 6
Ok this works but evidently my info are stored somewhere else. at 4 and 6 I have only zeroes. Programming those worked (it stick after reboot) but didn't fix the issue. Still have the 1st 6 hex the same and the other 6 randomly changed everytime I disable the wifi
Question is, do you have any idea where (at what addres) this string could be stored?
I have an ALPS w806 aka K18
thank you
How could you restore your device.prop or build.prop to its default? I'm encountering an Chamelemac error: "error not compatible device" on my Huawei Y220-U10. I wish you could enlighten me a bit because just last few months I've been able to change my mac address with the use of Chamelemac but now I can't. And i don't know why, maybe application update but it seems like chamelemac is just stuck with version 1.0 . Maybe you know something that could help me. By the way I'd rather use chamelemac other than those posted on the thread because it's easy to use just one click and i could change my mac address instantly. Hope for your response. Thanks in advance!

Last resort
If you are unable to change your MAC with those methods, I found a working solution that should work for everyone. Try this: http://bbs.infinixmobility.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&action=printable&tid=13678 It worked for me when anything I tried didn't work.
Hi,
I'm sorry, but the files below are not found:/data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB/
any other solution?
Thanks

SnooperStopper - Android device ecryption password manager and failed unlock monitor

SnooperStopper
Android device ecryption password manager and failed unlock attempts monitor
SnooperStopper allows you to have different device encryption password than
screen unlock pattern/PIN/password. You can have strong device encryption
password (which you only need to enter once after booting your device) but
simple pattern/PIN/password for unlocking your screen.
If attacker tries to guess your simple pattern/PIN/password, he has only
few tries (default is 3) after which the device is rebooted and he needs
to enter your strong device encryption password again.
Where to get it:
Google Play
Eutopia.cz F-Droid Repository
Project on GitHub
Why is it needed:
Android always sets device encryption password same as screen unlock pattern/PIN/password.
This is very unfortunate, because you should have encryption password as strong
as possible, but nobody wants to enter long password all the time just to unlock screen.
There is Android issue #29468
requesting different passwords for encryption and screen lock, but it seems to be
ignored by Google (it is there from 2012 and recently marked Obsolete by Google).
How to use it:
After installation, start SnooperStopper and grant it superuser permissions. Then
enable device admin in app, which allows SnooperStopper to monitor failed screen
unlock attempts and reboot device if maximum number is exceeded.
Whenever you change your screen unlock pattern/PIN/password, Android also changes
your device encryption password, so you have to set your strong encryption
password again. SnooperStopper automatically opens window where you can change it
right after you change your screen unlock pattern/PIN/password, so you should never
forget about it.
Requirements:
Android >= 4.0.3
enabled device encryption (Settings => Security => Encrypt phone )
root (Android doesn't allow apps to change device encryption password or reboot your device without root access)
Credits:
Whole device encryption password changing code is taken from Nikolay Elenkov's

Hello,
Thanks for your great tool, this really fills the gap between a safe encrypted and a everyday easy to use device.
Unfortunately I can't change the encryption password on my maguro galaxy nexus device.
When I try to change my encryption password I get the message cannot get super access
For a short time the root access symbol lights up and disappears.
Snooper Stopper is listed in the device admin list. My nexus (which runs on slim rom lollipop ) asked me whether I would like to give root access to snooper stopper and I agreed.
I'd really like to help to fix this bug so I can use your tool.
Many greetings
Michael
P.S. Already opened a issue at github before I found this thread on xda

Like I said on GitHub (writing it also here for reference):
It is problem with SELinux policy. if you have Android >= 5.0, you also need sepolicy-inject utility (you can find it here: setools-android with sepolicy-inject) or supolicy (part of SuperSU - but SuperSU is not opensource, so I highly discourage it).
New version 1.3 is compatible with Android 6 and CyanogenMod 13. Also starting from version 1.1 sepolicy-inject tool is included into SnooperStopper, so you don't need to install any external utility.

[Resolved] Tested Android Device Manager Lock -> PIN not accepted on device

Preface: I have rooted my device before (TWRP, Magisk).
Because I go on vacation, I wanted to try out the Android Device Manager for locating, locking and purging my Android smartphone..
I registered Android Device Manager app with device administrators.
I went to the Google Device Manager website (https://www.google.com/android/find), have chosen my smartphone and hit lock. The website asked me about PIN, info text and telephone number to display. I pasted (not typed!) "1234" in all of the three fields. The PIN box was masked but was showing 4 asterisks for 4 characters ("1234"). I hit lock and the issue begun.
After 1-3 seconds my smartphone locked up (yay) and showing info text + telephone number (both "1234" as pasted) and I tapped the PIN field to enter the PIN. I entered "1234" and the smartphone just vibrates and the PIN field was emptied.
I tried "1234" several times until the dialog shows "only 2 more tries" (or similar).
I shutdown the smartphone and created a full backup with TWRP and copied the backup and data files to an external USB stick.
Question: Can I remove/reset/change the Google Device Manager PIN? Either with ADB/Root/TWRP/whatever? I tried the website but while in the locked state it only shows the fields for info text and telephone number.
Device Info:
OnePlus 3T (OxygenOS 4.1.6)
Somehow I found a "solution" which make me thing this is completely useless.
After performing the backup with TWRP I restarted the device into normal mode.
I was asked about the device password (not Device Manager PIN). I saw the "locked by Device Manager" in the background. I have entered my device password (not the Device Manager PIN) and everything was unlocked!
Why on earth is there a Device Manager PIN when "the system" is using the device password anyway?
