How do I delete this key from the OS, or get past this. I can't log in though my gmail account or anything.
After 5 tries it should ask you for your email credentials and allow you to get into the system.
Its not the unlock pattern, its a pin. It doesnt, I think its because of the Exchange security policy...
Wipe your phone and start over

my mate at work had his cell security locked from his girlfriend as she was running up $$$Aud games bills. last night she tried to excess it & now it's asking him for his Gmail account email.
problem is he never saved it/wrote it down. is there any way unlocking it ?
if he goes to a telstra shop (AUSTRALIA) with his paperwork for proof can they unlock it ?
If the phone is stock I think you can pull the battery and power on in hboot then do a factory reset and it will bring the phone to default and then you can just make a new account .
The factory reset will work, but keep in mind this will erase ALL data! Unfortunately, if he can't retrieve his gmail password from the gmail website's "forgot password" feature, then a reset might be your only way.
I made the mistake of loaning my old Nexus 6 to someone when they were out a phone. They slapped a pin on it and are really unhelpful in verifying it. It's been awhile so they don't remember the pin.
I've managed to get them to give me info for one of those their accounts but it didn't work at all. Feels like I'm just caught in a loop with it where it lets me log in and then tells me I need to use a different account. Now it's saying I need to wait 24 hours due to a recent password change. Is there anyway I can just bypass this? I formatted userdata in fastboot but nothing. I'm just about to toss it in the garbage, it's not worth the few bucks I'll get on ebay.
You are dealing with Factory Reset Protection (FRP) which started with Android 5.1. After a factory reset, Google requires the user to verify they're the owner of the device logging into the last Google account on the phone. Additionally, if the password to this account is changed after the device was reset but before logging into the device during setup, you have to wait before you can use that account on the device.
I suggest you search for FRP bypass for whatever ROM and bootloader version you are on. Whatever you do, do not revert to a 5.1 bootloader version as that will probably brick you device.
Let me also point out that before resetting a device, it is best to remove all Google accounts from it.
My dad wants to sell his mi 9
He doesn't remember the password he used when setting up the phone.
He apparently used an unknown email when setting it up, because if we ask for a reset link by email it says it isn't valid
If we try to reset by having a code texted to him, there is no code being received
This is super annoying to be able to unlock the phone but that not being enough of a security check to perform a reset

On the other hand, I would think that security is good if a random user is blocked from resetting the phone. For a user to not just forget the password but also to forget what email address was used when setting up the phone it takes quite a lot of forgetting! To allow anyone to reset the phone is in my mind a bad idea.
To be able to unlock the phone you need to use the Mi-account, but to be able to perform a reset you need to log on to the Google-account used when you initially set the phone up. Unlocking and resetting are two different things, the first handled by Xiaomi and the second is handled by Google.

Nope, you can't reset the phone without the Xiaomi password. He knows the google account and password.
I dug around some more and was able to discover that there is no email associated with his xiaomi ID. It just has his phone number. But since it is refusing to send a text to that number with a verification code, I don't know where to go.

The kind of reset that requires access to the Mi account is when you want to restore backup from Mi Cloud.
For factory reset you don’t need the Mi account, you just need access to the Google account used when the phone was last set up.
Hello,
Please I use a redmi9t , I purchased and set up my Mi account my self , and I've been using it for sometime now.
Just recently I was about adding a new Google account to my phone when suddenly my phone got locked.
The first thing I saw displaying on my screen was "This device is locked", so I was directed to activate the device by inputting the password of my MI ACCOUNT, which is the same account associated with my phone ,which I did but the phone would not unlock...
Kept saying "couldn't unlock. Can't sign in " (and I was inputting the correct password),
I've used the same I.D and password to log in to my MI account on the Xiaomi website with another phone, and it was swift, I've checked if my account was blocked but it wasn't, I've even change my Mi password while on the website but my phone would still not accept the password, kept returning the same response...
I don't know what else to do.
I've been locked out of my device, and I can't even switch off the phone.
Please is there a way to get back Access ?
Try hard to remember incase not then its need to remove it from server
Its the correct password, as a matter of fact , I intentionally inputted a wrong password just to see if it would bring the same response, it didn't ; instead it brought back the response "couldn't verify mi account I.D. Invalid username or password"
as you see invaild you can try login mi tool
as see if its same try reset pw
Just don't add again MI Account in Developer Options. Because so, you'll have to wait Again.
My dad in his 60s got into a retrograde amnesia after trying to treat his condition. Forgot his password cannot pass the lock screen.

Try several times after a while it will display forgotten password, follow the procedure.
All data will be erased and you will need to log in with XIAOMI account.
