I have a problem of being forgetful when it comes to small things. Which is mainly the reason why I always carry a journal or a notepad everywheres I go. So let's say you forgot your android pattern, and you don't have access to your google account either. Maybe you found a phone that you have to hard reset, but have a problem where you have to enter the Google Account that was previously used on the phone.
This problem is mostly found on Android 5.1 or higher. Here is how you fix it:
- After resetting your phone (volume up+power button), restart your phone.
- Follow the prompts and connect to a WiFi network with internet connectivity.
- The next part is where you have to enter your email address. Click on the text field so that the keyboard pops up.
- Tap and hold the “ @” character until a Settings menu pops up
- Select Google Keyboard Settings
- Tap on the google search bar or the three dots on top. Dependig on your phone model or on what Android OS you are running. (if you have the search bar, jump to 10.)
- Select the Help&Feedback item and select any item in the list that will follow
- Long press to select any text on this page and click on Websearch in the upper right corner
- A search field will be shown (delete the text inside the search field)
- Type Settings in the search field
- Tap “About Phone” and tap 7 times on the Build Number to enable Developer Options
- Return to the previous menu and open the Developer Option that just appeared
- Allow OEM Unlocking and tap Back two times
- Restart the device.
- Connect it to Wifi again
- Notice how you won’t be prompted to log in the previous Google Account and instead the phone will ask you to ADD a new Google Account!
