Have a fren who just got a Galaxy Nexus, played around with it and now got stuck in Emergency call screen after boot up. Unable to access the usual settings or apps. Removing SIM does not help either. Any other ways to solve this? Thanks in advance.
Never mind, managed to solve it. Turns out to be the company device administration password through microsoft exchange setting when enabling the email.

Hello TP2 users,
I am a new US T_mobile tp2 user and The MSN password screen keeps popping up and interferes with the use of the device. (wether i check the "Save password" box or not) I dont have the data plan ,only wifi. Sometims when i turn off the phone or the screen and turn it back on it happens too,I have to cancel it each time. All instructions from Microsoft are not of any help.
Anyone else have any ideas? I don't want or need that screen to appear. All other email accounts on the device are already set up with screen names and passwords and work fine.
THanks
up up up
anyone? help
Little help please, have just purchased a M9 second hand and have had some issues trying to log into my google account.
The phone has been hard reset and starts up as normal, once I connect to the wifi and get past that when it asks me to enter my gmail and password it always sends me back to the wifi step, not allowing me to get into the home screen or even to skip the google account registration. Even worse is that I received an email from google saying it registered my log in. Any help?
You have become a victim of google frp (factory reset protection).
Hit youtube. There is a recent post that shows you how to get around it. I think its by rootjunky?..
The problem is not you. It's google's silly, flawed system.

It's a new security feature designed to prevent someone from stealing a phone and resetting it to use it. Even if you reset it, you have to authorize it at least once to prove it's yours.
Been a long time since I've posted here!
My grandpa has a Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime. Its his first smart phone, and despite "easy mode" he managed to screw up a bunch of settings. He decided to do a factory reset, however now the phone requires that you "Verify your account" by entering the gmail password associated with his account.
He does not know this password, nor did he set up any secondary verification.
The phone is on my Tmobile account (that I activated). Is there any way to recover the phone or perhaps root it? The people at the Tmo store basically told me its bricked because of this "safety feature".
I see that there are a number of ROM's out there, but I cannot enter the developer option since the phone is stuck in google setup.
Any ideas would be really appreciated, thank you

Brings back memories.
Sorry to say that I've been in your situation trying to fix my boss' daughter's phone haha
I'm sure there is a way to remove that "feature" so that it will never ask you to "confirm" your previous google account, but I do not know the method.
I took it to a repair center, the guy obviously didn't tell me how he did it (all I know is that he hooked it up with a USB cable and did something with the computer)
So there is a way but I researched and got nothing, this is a well hidden secret, maybe.
Hi, I am hoping someone on here can help me.
I am an IT Tech working on a project for a client and had ran into an issue with the Xperia XA Ultra
I wrote a process for rolling out some ofthese devices to users and, after setting up some apps, the deployment staff were supposed to remove the google account. Well, guess what, they missed one, and the user changed the shared google account password, then promptly forgot it, and forgot their PIN code.
So, service desk then go and do a factory reset and lo and behold, when trying to set the device up again, the "Recent Password change" issue has been triggered.
We recovered the google account password but no matter what (even leaving the device off for 5 days) we get the password changed error.
I have spent ages googling this - to no avail.
Has anyone else encountered this and managed to resolve it?
Thanks in advance of any suggestions.
A good friend of mine passed away last October and his Wife is trying to unlock his phone to see if there is any last messages or pictures she does not have. His phone is disconnected and has been off and not received an OST update since at least October 10 2019.
Here are a few idea's / things I have tried
1] Reached out to a friend that works at google and offered to provide a death certificate but was told under no circumstances would they unlock his account.
2] Tried to recover his gmail login because I have access to his secondary email account but he never used the google account to send emails so no idea what login his account is even under.
What I am looking for is any additional ideas or suggestions. I found a tool called Dr. Fone that sounds like it might be able to remove the PIN without wiping his phone. Has anyone used this app before and had luck? Are there any other ideas or workarounds I am not thinking of?
Thanks in advance
Dan
Unless the wife can remember his pin or his google account password you're likely out of luck. You might as well try the Dr. Fone software, though I've never heard of it, especially as Google will not help anyone for security reasons.
Curious
I can sometimes brake into my password in my cell by trying over a few times and causing a glitch, just try until it has an error. Also by any chance did she ever use a regular computer at her phone login or maybe send someone an email so you can at least get the address? If you can find the address it is usually pretty easy to get a password so if she had written it or sent an email or anything that is a great start.
You would have more luck with the Google in reality...starting here: https://support.google.com/accounts/troubleshooter/6357590?hl=en#ts=6357650
