The screen on my Nexus 7 was damaged a few months ago, and it was left unused until I finally got it repaired and returned to me yesterday.
Unfortunately I have so many different devices, I have forgotten the PIN code. I was aware I was unsure of the code while it was in for repair, but I was relying on the fact that I thought I could use the Android forgotten password option to reset via Gmail.
Unfortunately it seems this option does not exist, despite inputting many incorrect PINs and getting the 30 seconds delay. I have read this must be because the version must be Lollipop or above.
I also tried Android Device Manager, which can communicate with the device as it is online, and I set a lock code 1234, which the Nexus 7 mentions when I turn on the screen, but it does not accept it. Apparently if the device already has a PIN lock set up, that overrides the Android Device Manager lock PIN.
I know I can factory reset, but I would hate to lose the pictures - and yes this is another reason why I should have configured something where my files are backed up to drive etc. automatically. Is there anything I can do?

If the bootloader is unlocked then follow these steps to backup your data.

It is not unlocked, but perhaps I am able to unlock it without the PIN?
I read online about the Nexus Root Toolkit, and that I could perhaps ADB pull with that? Here is a screenshot of the options from the website:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Okay, so the PIN just came to me, huge relief. I am going to set up Google Photos to automatically backup my photos in case this ever happens again, or the tablet is lost, and double check that I have Prey installed.
Is there anything I else I should do that may perhaps allow me reset the PIN in the future?

That is normal. Android phones require you to have a google account. The phone uses google for the play store, contact backup, gmail, and more. Most roms let you skip this at first and only ask again if you use an app or feature that requires google. If the rom your on will not let you skip it, you will have to create or sign in with an existing google account.
cmlusco look at this

Ok after dooing some translation with google, i see the issue. Who ever gave you the phone had a pattern lock setup. You tried to many wrong attempts at solving the pattern and the phone has locked. You need to enter a google account to unlock it now. However im not sure if any google account will unlock it, or if you must enter the google account info previously registered by who ever setup the pattern lock. You can go to google.com and register for an account. If your google accoumt info dosent unlock it, you will need to get the info from the person who gave you the phone.
he never did a factory reset. if he had, then that screen wouldnt be popping up. i've had lots of clients come to me with that same problem and a factory reset always fixes it.
what im concerned about is if someone gave him the phone then why is he guessing the pattern lock or password lock?
I tried to play a COMBINATION FILE on it, it was the version A520FXXUBASF1 because I was told that it is the binary 12, but it does not work it keeps telling me SW REV Check fail (bootloader) Device 12 Binary 11.
The reason for this is. that from my uncle the son had the cell phone and his google account linked. and the cell phone was set to factory reset and these no longer know the data. So with I want to put the phone once again completely and through numerous videos I was shown that I first have to play a combination file on it before I install a firmware again. Unfortunately, this is not possible as described above
and maybe someone has the right combination file for me, the current firmware, I have the works that I have already tested this is called A520FXXUCCSK1.
I already apologize for my bad english

You dont need such a combination file.
Just install the firmware through odin and you are good to go.

I did that anyway, the phone requires the old Google account previously set. and as described above, the data is unknown

So, if I understand this correctly, you are trying to get your google account login data?
no i want to remove this google login so I do not have to register first because we do not know the data anymore

and therefore would like to bypass the google login, because as I said the data is no longer known or have been forgotten. and I can not log into the phone
I acquired this tablet for relatively cheap in auction from a remarketer, and feel like I know why now. None of the methods I can find seem to work to removing the FRP on it.
I did manage to cause it to crash a couple times, once corrupting the data letting me factory reset it again in recovery through the method described in this XDA post, however it was still locked at this point. I did write down the build info when this happened. 8.0.0/OPR1.170623.027/4292972
I did manage to successfully perform the trick described in that post and pull down notification bar, but when I go to more settings, all it gives me is this

. Doesn't really allow me to navigate anywhere more useful. Image
I've also managed to try the TalkBack video method, with the video in Morse Code, as there is no video in the "Get Started with Voice Access". This would probably work in the past, except that currently Youtube needs an update on this device, and when I try it brings me back to the FRP Login.
Youtube Update-FRP Login
At this point I'm at a loss of what to do. It's a challenge. Is there any hardware bypass that exists, such as shorting some pins on a firmware chip? Any Software I can run on my computer to aid in this task? Nothing I could find for this device, but maybe I haven't looked hard enough. Perhaps a method to trick Youtube into running without the update?
following
I don't know if there is nor do I personally own a Pixel C but I do have experience with getting FRP gone on more than one device I've owned in the past. These methods you see are extremely sensitive and even a few seconds time pause or anything except exactly how whoever is doing them is, can end up unsuccessful. Also many of the methods get patched with updates... Just be careful because there are many fake advertisments out there about this that say pay $____ and we will do it ..And they don't. All I can say is search search search and try it all and if you already have done that do it again. I had a Motorola phone some years ago and I bricked it. Hard brick... I messed around with the blankflash file trying to get it to work for weeks!!! I must have attempted to get it to work 500 times at least!!! I kept trying and one day it worked. Don't give up and when you follow those methods to remove FRP on YouTube make sure you are following EXACTLY how they are doing it.
Here's a method I just came across: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/pixel-c-8-1-1-frp-bypass.3879498/
Hello XDA,
Hoping someone here can help me. Not sure if it was relevant, but something must be but I was installing an APP on my P20 that helps to verify you to access Canada Gov't websites. Yada yada and now my phone has a password on it. At some point I was given Google Codes, but those do not unlock my phone now. I tried updating the phone from wifi and safe mode however it still comes up with the password screen below. The SIM card is now in my new phone (S20 - done with Huawei) and the old phone is in Airplane mode. When I drag up from the bottom you can see that menu at the bottom that mentions "Enable Magazine unlock" but doesn't do anything except calculator and flashlight.
Yes I can access recovery menu and the option to Factory Reset is certainly there and I know how to use it. The thing is I have over 3000 photos (most of them of our Cats) on there and I cannot and will not lose them. Been hacking this thing for a few days now and even though the P20 does not have an SD CARD slot, I was able to insert a USB stick in the USB-C slot with a bunch of useful hack .APKs but I cannot seem to be able to use them. In the EMUI menu I can select Update from USB but it just hangs at 5%.
I don't mind any kind of solution but it has to keep my data. Would installing Cyanogenmod delete my data? Anyone encountered this before? Also - obviously my phone has not been rooted and trying to connect to the PC via USB does recognize the phone, but Visual Studio, the Huawei software and ADB and everything else does not recognize it enough to communicate with it, perhaps because of the password.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you try to make a backup onto your pc or does it not see the device? I know there’s Back up Option under recovery mode at more than one place but not so sure if it would include all of your data.
The only way to disable a password on a huawei is thro factory-reset along with the password setup proses.
You said something about google codes. Can’t it by chance be from your find my phone, that the device is secured from find my phone platform
I've tried everything, please help.. I factory reset a few times, used a VPN, turned on Find device and sync (except SMS and phone because it won't activate my SIM), USB debugging, OEM unlock are all on and it's still the same. Of course I've waited about two weeks... It's on MIUI 12.0.6.0 Global and won't check for updates (says can't connect to network) I'm pretty sure something about its IMEI or something is broken too but IDK how to fix it. I'd love to get some help please
How many hours did it tell you to wait for unlocking?
Are you 100% sure the drivers are installed correctly on your computer and the phone is detected correctly?
When you start MiUnlock, did you click in the top right corner and update the app to the latest version before requesting unlock?
Edit:
When I unlocked my phone, the Mi Account said that the sim wasn't activated but I could still send and receive SMS.
