Hi,

A few minutes ago, I performed a factory reset on my Android tablet. It asked me to connect to a WLAN and then requested the Gmail account that was previously added. I tried a few accounts I could remember, but after several attempts, it seems to have blocked me from entering any more Gmail addresses. 😔 I might remember the correct one later. Will it work if I try again later, or is there another solution?


Thank you
 
I fully understand. Working through this with a phone I bought for my brother (he can't recall with of the many Gmail accounts he has used).

Your carrier will possibly help if you can prove ownership of the phone.

FRP is a theft deterrent protocol.
I understand your point and thank you , If I try one of two gmails that certainly one of them fit for that , will gmail let me to try?
Two gmails left and I pretty sure one with one of them I logged in for playstore and I believe it asked for that
 
If you enter the correct Gmail account, then yes, it will proceed/work. If not, then no.

Do you have this device listed under your assumed Google account?
Hello and thanks for your swift response.
I just know that I sign up for playstore , I m pretty sure I do not use gmail for another purpose on this tablet .
So you mean I can check with sign up in Gmail ? I had not used gmail for sync or another purpose just for playstore as it is obligated.
So what you think ? With that gmail it was logged in for playstore , could I enter again and pass this page?
