Hi.. I have an old g1 that I am locked out of.. (forgot swipe code) it has the Google sign in.. Is the a way to connect the device to wifi with the phone locked? I am hoping that the Google sign in will update and allow me to sign in...
Without the correct PIN, password, pattern code, or account details, or if Factory Reset Protection ("FRP") has been set in an Android device, then the device is essentially dead in the water. Google does not have any records at all of the settings needed. (If an Apple device, you have to ask Apple.)
You should try to get your money back, if purchased with this limitation already on the device.
Various forums for your device, device brand, or an Android forum may have a hack; some pretty clever people there. Those forums are worth looking at if nothing else will work for you.
