  3. Touch Google*.
  4. Touch Existing* to use your existing account.
  5. Follow the onscreen steps to enter information about the Google account your administrator created for you.
* The names of these options, menus, and menu items can vary by device. Refer to the documentation that came with your device, or see the Android OS Help Center.
