Hello all
does anybody know how to change the google account password that i use to login to the market, and gmail on my atrix?
i changed the password on my desktop and now the phone is giving the wrong password, so i cant login to either accounts with my phone.
stock phone except for root
any help is appreciated.
thank you
Settings=>account=>Remove account, then re add it
Remove account
thankyou for your reply ,
i tried that before posting here.
the phone replies with " this account is required by some apps, you can only remove it with a factory reset"
i was hoping not to have to do that. but
if your bootloader is unlocked does a factory reset cause any problems?
like the b word
thanks again
All factory reset reset does is take the ROM back to the state it was when you first flashed or our set it up.doesn't flash anything won't cause a brick

So my friend was playing around with my Prime today when he shows me he has entered the incorrect pattern so many times that it will only allow me to sign in with my Google account to regain access to it. Im like okay no big deal, ill just sign in change the password and no problem.. Well, I have tried that and it will not accept my log in information.. I know the username (email) and password is right. I can log in from my computer just fine and I haven't changed the password for that account since I've had the tablet. I do not know what else to do..? I have tried putting just the first part of my username, tried entering null into the password box. didn't work.. I believe it might have something to do with the wifi not being on, but i cant turn it on because my tablet is locked! Is there anyway i can use ADB or something to turn wifi on or to let me reset the lock screen so i can enter my unlock pattern? i do know what that is. I would really like to not have to factory reset and wipe all the data.. Thanks in advance!
Sorry I don't know of any other way but the factory reset which wipes all the data off your prime, hopefully someone might know how to fix the problem without having to do the factory reset. I got my Prime from Taipei so when I did the factory reset I could not understand the text due to not knowing how to read the foreign language. Well after trying and failing and trying again it took me about an hour to set the language to English . So if their is no other option but a factory reset be prepared .
Also if you do come across an answer to this problem please share it with us here. Thanks

Hi
I have a Y360 and cannot remember its lock pattern anymore.
The phone gives me the option to login with my account. I am not sure what this means. I used 2 gmail accounts on the phone. On the pc I can access both of them. But if I use these accounts to unlock my phone it says wrong username/password.
I dont want to factory reset it since there a lot of pictures/videos on it which I dont want to lose.
any tips are very apreciated.
thx&br

Hi everyone, My friend has Oneplus X which he was using. During first time setup, I think he enabled device protection feature.
Due to some reason, he did factory reset on his Oneplus X, and also changed his Google account password and his recovery phone number
After factory reset when tried to configure his Google account, it gives error " Please sign in using one of the owners account for this device"
We are able to login his google account on computer,
We also tried to for wipe data/factory reset through recovery
Read on some websites that Google account is locked for 72 hours if we do factory reset and change password. Its been 5 days but still cant configure the google account on the phone
Please help as the phone has become useless

Don't your friend knows what he has done with it ? Then it should be easy
I did a factory reset using power+volume up method, i rebooted, everything was fine. Did initial setup; google account, wifi, languages ect.. Then it ask me for a password, says phone protected, it says a factory reset without entering a password. Now i cant use the phone until i enter the password, i have no idea what it is.
Android L ?
do you use android L?
Hey did you ever find out what this is or how to bypass it?
Any help with this problem?
If you do factory reset Android 5.1.1 and it has a Google account then you cannot get into the operating system unless you know the Google Mail account and it's password that was originally on it. Phone is now bricked. To prevent this from happening before you do a factory reset go to settings then accounts, then click on the Google account highlight it go to the three dots at top right and pick delete the account. All Google accounts must be deleted before factory reset or you will brick it if you don't know email and password.
