Hi all,
A friend has somehow managed to setup up a lock screen password. He then attempted many times to unlock but not with the correct password.
The phone is now asking for gmail account username and password. Which he never kept a copy of. Is there any way to get around this so he can access his phone again. Or is seus the best option.

Regarding the lock issue, just reinstall with seus or whatever rom you want and that'll be fine.
Now about the gmail account, he will have to check on gmail site and try to recover password/request a new one.
Thi k he already tried to recover his password with no luck. And the trick of putting null in password box not working this time
Thanks for help

Well how can someone not be able to recover the password,cmon mate..if he can't remember his password or any details to recover the password then his account cannot be that old, so tell him to make a new account and problem solved. It also sounds weird that he also cannot remember the unlock code for the phone so I don't know...
Sorta sounds dodgy...

The guy had some how managed to lock his phone while in his pocket. His account was created when the x10 first hit the market and he never had any reason to recall the account details.
Anyway. All sorted was on 1.6 now got 2.3.3 stock.
Thanks

Is there a solution

Go to settings, Accounts and Sync, tap your email, tap remove account.
^ that won't work if you only have 1 google account.
Add another one then try to remove the original one. that MIGHT work, but it has a big chance that it won't also.

I am having the same issue. I created another account so I could remove another one and i keep getting the message that some applications use this account. Need to go to settings, privacy, and reset phone. Doesn't work. Trying to remove the 300 contacts that are this phone from when i traded my hd7 windows phone for this hd2 with android. How can i remove the contacts?
Oh epic bump

I'm glad someone else has this issue, i've had it for 3 days now - I've contacted support an am awaiting a response.
I ran into this problem as well but i solved it. When it takes you to the playstation entertainment site login and go to the [email protected] tab it will ask for your information so you can become a part of the psn and then you will gain full access. I suggest doing it from a laptop or computer because doing it on mobile is a lot more confusing.

Ah, that worked for me, thanks!
After you've setup your account for the PSN, you then have to change your account password again.

Please can anybody help me?
My friend's phone got stuck in a bootloop the other day and the only way to recover it was to do a hard reset. The trouble being he has no idea what his Google account details are. He knows neither his email address or his password. He's never sent an email from his Gmail and never set up an emergency email account for recovery purposes. I've scoured the Internet for a solution but if all you have is your phone number, there doesn't seem to be any way to reinstate your account. His phone isn't rooted as he's not that kind of user. Can anybody help please?

Ok, so he's created a new Google account but obviously can't access all the apps he's paid for. Is there any way to transfer his old account to his new account? Thanks.

Sorry to keep bumping this thread but has nobody ever forgotten both their email address and password before? Any input would be welcome as people might find this thread in the future and find it helpful. Thanks.

Hello guys. I'm currently using a stock rooted 4.2 Galaxy S4. I used to own a china made android phone before this and the same issue happened as well so I'm pretty sure it's not due to the ROM.
My emails from gmail suddenly stopped syncing after a couple of weeks after adding my Google account. This has happened 4 times already and after Googling the problem I couldn't find any solutions. Neither restarting my phone nor clearing the Gmail app data from Application Manager helped. In the account manager it says that everything but email was able to sync successfully (according to the update date). The only solution I have found so far is to completely remove my Google account from the phone and add it again.
I have 2 step verification on my Google account and at first I thought that was the issue; that my authentication token had expired, so I generated an application specific password and used it, however the problem still came back. Really hope someone can help me as it's really frustrating to have to remove and add my account every couple of weeks. Thank you.
Hope someone can help me out..
Is sync turned on?

I don't see any attachment. Did you try a factory data reset?

Sorry yeah this is the attachment.
Have yet to try a factory reset...
Factory reset is what comes to mind for me. Just remember to back up your data first. Good luck
