Is there any way to flash a new firmware to this phone without unlocking it with the account? I can't unlock bootloader without accessing the settings...
Get the person you got the phone from to remove the device from their account using their security panel at security.google.com
That's the problem-I bought this phone from a pal who doesn't remember his password and that's the reason why he sold it. I bought it because it's IP isn't registered as stolen and he's got all the accessories and original box so I don't think it's stolen, but I didn't know google introduced that kind of security in this phone :/ thought I'll just flash a new rom and problem will be gone.
If he can't remember his Google PW or properly use the recovery to get it/a new one then that's......I dunno.

Google provides a guide to reset passwords here. He will need to reset the password on the GMail account he used on the device, log into that account on a PC, enter the account security settings and remove the device from that account. This is the only way you will be able to restore this device to operating condition, so you better hope he can remember the GMail account he used to set up the device.
I have a donated Note5, Google account locked, FRP Enabled, cant use odin because I cannot enable USB Debugging, and bought a OTG cable but of course that isnt working with the google bypass method, isntalled some ADB drivers along with fastboot, did ADB Sideload Unlock, said couldnt unlock or something, reset it again, still on the screen.
literally hate myself

The lost and stolen removal thing is something you can't talk of here since it's illegal to ask for that here. Fixing your IMEI with your OWN IMEI (printed on the device) is fine since you OWN the thing. Having the Note 5 be Factory Reset Protected AND needing the IMEI cleared from the 'lost and stolen' list just screams of stolen phone.
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
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.
Possibly a random one...
I water damaged my first Pixel 5 and managed to sell it on eBay. Transaction was fine, money received and now in my bank account.
Prior to selling, I erased the device via Find my Phone and removed the device from my Google account - there is now zero trace of it anywhere (that I can see) within my Google.
The person who purchased the Pixel has now repaired it but says, when they turn it on, it asks for the _device_ PIN... is it safe to share it with them?
I cannot think of anything they could do with the PIN other than turn the Pixel fully on... they cannot access my Google account nor any personal data as that has been erased...
I may be overthinking.. thoughts?
Cheers!

Tell him to boot into recovery and do a factory reset. That will also delete your password and there is no risk for you, that some data of yours is still on the phone.
