So I wanted to do a factory reset, to try and fix my adaptive storage issue.
It just did not work, no matter what I tried.

So, I went into the Recovery, and did a Data erase.
Now it prompts me to enter into my Samsung account - which is all fine - it worked several times before.

But now I get a "Processing Error".
The username + password is 100% correct, I can log in to my account on my laptop.

If I modify the login to some wrong one, it says "Invalid..." so I am sure it's something else.
How do I fix this?
Do I have to downgrade to LL to log in, disable lock, then upgrade, blah blah blah... tell me that's not the solution...

Oh yeah, before you guys ask: "But why didn't you just use the Reset in Settings"?
Well, I tried.

It just did not let me through the login screen. I mean, it did. Then it closed and popped up again.
Again, and again, and again.

And so I did the recovery reset. And now I am clueless. :-/

Back to basics.
Reseted my phone again. Somehow I managed to bypass login in the past - now I just cannot.
Flashed 5.1.1, but no change.

- Remade my account around 10 times.
- Tried all my passwords since I ever had the phone, with all my email combinations that I ever used for Samsung Account.
- Tried to "escape" with these bugs, but no Accessibility and similar stuff, so I can't get around the protection.

So, I will just blog about my suffering.

1 ) You can bypass the latest lock by...
2) Downgrade to 5.1.1 - but maybe this works on 6.0, don't know.
3) Install SideSync on PC, plug cable in
4) Open Chrome, install a Home Screen, and open it
5) There you bypassed. And you still can't add your Samsung account.

By the way even the website shows a quick "Wrong login" when I try to login.
So maybe the entire Samsung Account is messed up beyond repair.
I will try to upgrade to 6.0 now and pull this off again.

If that does not work, back to Youtube I go.
