I understand your post, specially having close ties to Brazil. The easier way would be looking though my post history and see that I have only commented on this forum (Z1) and on Sony Smartwatch forum.
I have now solved the case, with a safe way Android provides to solve it, only works if you are the owner of the phone:
Step 1:
-Miss your pin 5 times
- Select forgotten pattern at the bottom of the screen
- You will be asked for the email and password of the google account related to the phone (only the owner should know these details)

please help me, i forget my Device unlock pattern. what can I do for unlocking Nexus One?
Keep failing and at some point it will let you use your gmail password
I found My Answer. go here:
http://www.knowyourmobile.com/google/nexus-one/nexus-one-guides/404785/how_to_do_a_hard_reset_on_the_google_nexus_one.html
Well thats a option but it also clears all your data
I use pattern to unlock my Galaxy S, but my son played with my phone and accidentally input too many patterns and make my phone only can be unlocked by signing into google account.
I typed my correct gmail user name and password, but still can't sign in and unlock the phone. I am also using APN ON/OFF application, and the APN status is OFF. I am thinking maybe it makes my phone unable to connect to the Internet and sign in to gmail.
Is there anyone know how to solve this problem without resetting the phone into factory default? And if I need to factory reset my phone, how can I do it because the 3 button combination is not working with my Galaxy S?
I'll be grateful if there is someone who can help
Many people have had this issue to some extend, most of them simply reflash the phone since that fixes it.
I remember someone wrote that you somehow could bypass it, sadly cant seem to locate the post anymore.

Try to put your gmail login info from all different gmail account you have.
Also try this. Take out battery>wait for 3 hours > but the battery back > press power button for 20 seconds (This method was listed by one guy on other forum).
One guy also mentioned this method.
AGAIN ITS the lamest thing you could ever think of, anyway heres how it goes,
1) Log in to your google account on your pc, the same account you registered for your phone
2) After logging in look at the top right corner of your inbox/email page, it would say your google username. Like say if you name is John, and you have a google id thats registered to your galaxy s as ,[email protected] Now this google id on the top right corner of the page would be displayed [email protected]
3) Type in the google id, thats visible on the right hand top corner of your page ([email protected]) into your galaxy s handset locked page, and type in the password.
TADA AND YOUR ON TO THE NEW SCREEN TELLING YOU TO PUT IN ANOTHER PATTERN.
Thanks

this solution is with thanks to another person on another site...
You need a WiFi connection available for this to work!
1) Call your phone from a different phone.
2) Answer the call. While still connected...
3) Hit the BACK button on the phone (the arrow softkey)
4)This takes you to the home screen (it might take a few attempts, it depends on your timing. It took me 4 attempts)
5)Drag down your notifications bar and turn the WiFi on if it isn't already.
6)Close the notifications bar then hit the MENU softkey, select Settings then "Accounts and sync".
7)Click "Add Account" and select Google.
8)Sign up for a new google account as normal.
9)When the signup process is complete (and it must successfully create an account) you can hang up the call. (Do not sync the accounts)
10)Now when the phone asks you to unlock it using google credentials, use the ones from the account you just created. It will now ask you for a new security pattern, then for the same pattern again to verify.
11)Once you are back into the phone, turn off this "feature" until Google release a fix for the bug.
12)You can now delete the "false" google account which you just created from the phone. You should log into google and delete it from there too really.
13)Now reboot your phone. When the phone starts up and it still says "Phone Locked" don't panic!, Just drag the screen out of the way to unlock the phone, just like you did before you activated the pattern security.

I got a viita today from a buddy who didn't really car for it...
Problem is, his psn is locked to it.. I know I can format to deactivate his account, but of course I don't know his account info.. anything I can do beside have him call Sony and them reset it since he can't remember his password? Its no big deal to go that route.. Sony just isn't Johnny on the spot and seems to take them forever to get around to that kinda stuff?
why not call him??
As I said before... he doesn't remember the password.. (I actually have no clue what my psn password is since its auto saved...)
Helps to read it all before posting...

I was finally able to get with psn... they said to format the SD card, his online would show up, but it would erase it when I added mine into.. they said it takes about 24 hours to verify all my information since I have to have a change of email address (one I registered with is no longer active) once they see its me, they send an email on how to change my password and email associated with my psn....
Got it squared away.. couple formats and having to call psn back to use yet another email since my backup had been used on another ps3 and all was well and good....
Thread is closed. OP has gotten the issue resolved.
This is a new one for me, but here it goes:
Coming from a 5.1.1 ROM, a full wipe (just not internal data), then installing one of the two 6.0 ROMs I get the same error upon start up:
After putting in my email address and password, I get the notice "You must login as one of the device owners", or something to that effect. They keywords there would be the device owners...I'm not sure what that means and I've never had a problem with my account.
I've had my same gmail account since 2004 and I'd hate to have to change it only because of Marshmallow.
I haven't seen anyone else experiencing a problem like this, and I'm concerned as to why it seems to be unique in my case. I an NOT encrypted, neither before the install or after (custom kernel).
Unlike Lollipop, there is no "skip" button when logging into a Google account, you HAVE to with Marshmallow upon first install.
Any help would be appreciated.
Did you change your password recently? If so, you'll have to wait 72 hours from changing your password until you can log in again...

The first 6.0 ROM I flashed made me reset my password for some reason. No matter how many times I'd enter in the CORRECT password, I was told something wasn't right and got kicked back to the login screen. Once I changed the password on my PC, I went back to the ROM and thats when the scenario in the OP happened.
It looks like I have to wait...or create a new email address possibly?
No, your gonna have to use your original account to unlock your phone. 72 hours it is...

One question I do have is if I can have multiple gmail accounts linked to one device. I have another gmail account but I looked at the "My Device" settings, and it has no device attached to it and no option to attach one!
Well, yes you can, but you'll have to "attach" the account from the device in question.

I think I just did that, verified phone number, added google account to the 5.1.1 ROM, I'm not sure where else I'd attach the device.
You need to first be logged in, with your original account...
And by the way, I saw you were trying to get help in another thread as well. I don't know why you ended up in this situation (being unable to log in in the first place) but I do know you need to wait 72 hours. If you can't log in after that, come back and we'll try to help you out...
Pixel 5 here
So I updated to the beta and the pixel launcher kept crashing (couldn't even swipe or open app without the screen turning black and pixel launcher crashing) after the install until my phone kept restarting and said I needed a factory reset.
I factory reset the phone but when I go to set up the phone again after entering my wifi info the next screen asks me to "Copy apps & data"
if I hit next it asks me to connect my old phone, which I don't have an old phone. When I select "Can't use my old phone" a message pops up saying that I can restore data without my old phone by signing in with my account. I hit ok and it asks me to verify my pin? I factory reset the phone, why would it ask for that?? ANyway I enter my pin and and I'm back to the Copy apps & data screen.
Only other option is "Don't Copy". If I hit that It puts me in an infinite loop of verifying my pin, then back to the Copy apps & data screen.
Any help would be much appreciate, totally lost. Knew I should've not installed the beta :'(
I also have the same problem. I have the padlock icon in the top left side of the notifications area. I believe this means the phone is locked. I can not seem to be able to unlock the phone, even they it accepts my unlock code.
Did a quick Google search and found this on Reddit. It is a post of someone having a similar issue to what you're experiencing. There seems to be a comment with a fix in there as well with instructions on what to do but I am not sure if it works but if you wanted to check it out here is the link to the post as well as a link to the comment with the fix.

As I said above I am not sure if this will fix your problem or make it worse but there are some who have tried it apparently and posted that it works for them so it may be worth cheeking out

That is exactly what mine is doing. I can't go back and it is such in the transfer data screens. I also didn't enable developer options and USB debugging. So I guess wait for someone to post the upgrade file online
