Hi,
I have recently put up a password lock on my HTC One to avoid my kids going on my phone due to the fact I had important phone calls coming.
I have forgotten the password for the device and I have tried over 40 times literally as the phone shows me a message with how many times I tried.
I have the gmail and password of the google account which is registered to this device but it does not give me an option to recover phone from my google account even though I have tried over 40 times. Is there a way where I could get into my phone as I do not want to lose my important settings and etc. on my phone.
I am not sure why it does not let me recover my phone using my Google Account as my other phones do.
Thanks!

Hello. The girl bought a phone at the auction, unfortunately, the phone is locked and requires a Samsung ID and password. The guy from whom it bought do not reply to e-mails and do not answer the phone. Is there a way to bypass or delete? The phone is Samsung S6 Edge.

Sounds like the phone was reported stolen to Samsung and they locked out down.
If the phone can get to download mode, maybe Odin the update to wipe it completely. Don't know if this will work.

I did a factory reset with reactivation lock enabled on my s6. Upon set up and after I enter my Google account info, I am now also required to enter my Samsung account ID and PW. I am entering the correct info but get "processing failed" error message. I've tried everything for days now. After calling AT&T without resolution, I called Samsung and am told my only option is to mail them my phone with proof of purchase and a tech will fix it...3-4 week turn around

Have the same problem....Anybody know how to fix... I will pay you..
Hello,
i've got a SM-N950X Demo Unit that i bought to use it as a small tablet at home. I've flashed SM-N950F without a Problem, it runs fine. I had used my Samsung account to download a font from the Galaxy store. everything was fine. So today i wanted to use bixby and it wanted me to log into my Samsung account, but everytime i try it, it says "processing failed". But i know for 100% sure the Password is correct, because i can log in on my S9 without a Problem. Also, if i Input a wrong Password it will say "wrong Password" and not "processing failed". So i tried to create another account from the phone. it worked, but i could not enter the Samsung account Settings anymore, it Always goes back after 0,5 seconds. So i changed the Password of my new account and now i am again stucked at "processing failed". I cant factory reset too, because he wont take my Samsung account, Always "processing failed".
I can still use the phone but cant use Samsung account functions. I fear of a recovery factory reset because of FRP lock? Or Samsung Lock? Are they the same?
OEM Lock and FRP Lock in Download-Mode are turned off, i am save to reflash or will i get permanently locked out because of Samsung account lock?
Phone is completely stock, no root, no knox triggered.
Thanks a lot!
If you purchased it at a store you should go there and request help. As far as I know owners of "Demo" units issues are rarely or never helped in XDA because of the probabilities of it being a stolen device ( not saying that's the case...)

Ok, i purchased it from a private Person on eBay, so i dont think i can get help from him.
thanks anyway.
Hello,
Following a crash, I had to do a factory reset in the recovery of my note 8.
Of course, at boot, he asks me the Google account ID. Sadly, I do not have them anymore (email address deleted since). I tried my old ID: it does not work ...
Will a flash of rom stock via odin reset the frp? Or should it go before by an "adb frp tool", then flash a "combination firmware", before reflash the rom stock?
I have already tried all methods of bypass frp before 10/10/18 (sms class 0, bluetooth headset, samsung keyboard settings...)
(I am in N950FXXS5CRJ1 of 01/10/18, oreo 8.0). I'm french.
With proof of purchase, your carrier or samsung service will help you, that's it, WITH PROOF OF PURCHASE

You know when people come in here talking about needing to get the FRP security lock off and then going on to say their gmail account is magically gone or deleted it automatically makes us think the phone is stolen!! People don't just randomly delete their gmail account nor do they forget their password so easily! If it truly is your phone take it to the carrier I.E. "at&t, Verizon etc etc." Because they will be able to easily recover the phone for you quickly!!

Personally I don't buy it.
If you deleted your Google account, you would have been signed out across the board, you need to be signed in to a Google account for FRP to be enabled...
If you are a thief or a 'finders keepers' you will agree FRP is a great feature. Must suck holding this great phone and not be able to use it.

Personally I think it's stolen just by the way he worded that and saying that the gmail account was deleted isn't sitting with me right because then the phone would literally nag the crap out of him saying stuff like the play store can't work, gmail can't work and most importantly as you said FRP can't work without the email.. I'm betting it's stolen.
One time, I went to my carrier service center to activate volte calls, while I was waiting for my turn, an old lady ahead of me explained to the employee her case, that her device was locked, that she had no idea what email or anything else, as her grandson was the one that took care af all those things, she only used the phone to make calls an send sms, the employee said that it was ok, all she needed to do was to provide a proof of purchase, or the contract, and an ID, that was it, she did, and problem quickly solved, so, anybody asking for some way to bypass frp, is obviously trying to unlock an illegal obtained device, period.

That's why I don't even try to help someone who comes along claiming that they magically forgot/lost their gmail account and password information. When he said he deleted the gmail account a while back the first thing that came to my mind was well without a gmail account you can't exactly do much with the phone because everything is going to be nagging you, Google, Play Store, Gmail, Google Services, maps and many other things and FRP can't lock without the gmail account so how could you possibly get FRP locked out.. You could by lying and stealing a phone and claiming it's yours..
Yeah, absolutely right
I certainly understand the views on going to a service center. But no. Not everyone with this problem is trying to cheat with a stolen phone. I just bought a very nice Note 8 (SM-N950U1) for $200 off eBay (from an individual with a 100% record) only to find it is FRP locked and I doubt she knew. Just did a factory reset and sell. So now I have to pay $50 at a service center and with the drive, it will take me about two hours. So some of us do have a legitimate reason to want to do a FRP unlock ourselves. Hopefully, the seller will rebate me the $50 so I don't have to send it back and start my long search for this model, in this condition for what i can afford all over again. Just say'in. Well glad I have XDA forums to let me know my position. - So thanks - Jim
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.
