You need to wait 72 hours and then you can sign in to your phone. And that is only because you reset your device. Changing your account password takes effect immediately, but if you reset your device after you change your password, you need to wait 72 hours from the time you changed your password. Your device is not a paperweight.

Let's not name call because you don't like what another user has posted! If it wasn't for users like this then things would not be fixed in later versions of software releases for YOUR device. So say Thank You to your fellow xda member for putting this info out so that it can be brought to the attention of the appropriate people. There have been several tutorials whirling around the internet for the last month or so, that have shown the same thing done to other manufacturers devices. He's not done anything wrong by posting this and I'm pretty sure he has not broken any laws either... If you check other threads you are likely to find some of the same things to bypass security, such as, rooting your device ( although probably not used for recovering a stolen phone ) but could be!
I'm sorry that I've used harsh language, I mean it. It was as stupid as the the post itself. But I stand by my core argument.
Breaking laws, yeah, there it is. No, it does not. But what would your reaction be when someone posted a video tutorial on how to open a locked house door?
Or how to open the car lock and register again with your name without triggering the alarm or the officials after you ground away the chassis code and replaced it with a new? Granted, the last one is a bit exaggerated, but I'm trying to make a point here.
But maybe I see the wrong side of it.
I was waiting for the day this appeared here and am extremely disappointed that it has appeared here. This feature has been introduced for our security. It only needs to be made aware to people selling second hand phones to disable the screen lock before factory resetting the device.
Now, anyone who has stolen an Android phone can use it within minutes by bypassing those security measures. What's the point in increasing security like this if people are just going to bypass it? We might as well just not bother setting screen locks, or keeping our phones in our pockets. I hope it stops before we're just handing out our possessions to thieves and randomers.

This immature security feature must have a way to bypass it because thousands of silly users are currently blocking themself out of their own phones with this piece of cake. Live with it.
BTW. Thieves are just going to sell those phones as parts or defective, you still get a ****load of money for those locked phones.

I look at it as people informing us that the security that we THINK is securing us, is not as strong as we think! Look at this! This whole thing can be bypassed with a flash drive and a stupid apk file... Nice job to the great security experts here, that are getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars! And as far as breaking into my home, that's why I own a handgun, so if that person feels urged enough to wanna do that, they won't be leaving on the same two feet as they came in with. Like I said, it's good that these things come out so that they can be fixed appropriately. I do respect your opinion though.
Oh, a handgun. How nice.
You know, every now and then, someone brings me his iPhone which happens to have an iCloud Lock. It's basically the same as the Google Account Verification Lock. Except, it's currently "impossible" to bypass it, meaning, there's no official/unofficial way or hack or something. Whenever someone comes to me with such an iPhone, I laugh and offer them my deepest condolences for they have a thousand dollar brick.
There are many web services claiming to be able to unlock it or bypass it but 99,9% of them are scam. The remaining 0,1% will charge you a horrendous amount of money but probably will be able to unlock it. Your only hope is to nicely ask Apple and only if you have the official, legitimate receipt with your name and matching IMEI/SN. If you happen to do this via E-Mail/Phone, I'm sure they'll somehow ask you to verificate that it's really the person on the receipt they're talking to. Still, I know of people who even then couldn't get their iPhones unlocked. Also, if I'm not mistaken, they have a challenge going on that anyone who's able to hack or bypass the iPhone, which should include an iCloud Lock bypass, may have a 1,000,000$ prize. A group of people recently claimed this prize. Not because they bypassed the Lock but because they managed to "hack" themselves into iOS 9.x only via Safari. And of course, they only told Apple how they did it. At least, they only provided Apple with the technical details and resources. If these people are "legit" with their cause, why the hell would they publish instead of talking directly to Google? Maybe there's no prize money. Maybe I'm not getting this. Either way, it's shady af to me.
If you're really worried about a thief going thru this defense, there's always an imei blacklisting option available. Of course, that, too, can be bypassed, but that is currently illegal, unlike this method. You can argue until your eyes pop out of their sockets, but that won't change people's behavior. Especially on the innenets.
I think you're right...I feel like I sound like an sjw anyway.
What we have to remember is that there are legitimate uses for these kinds of tools/methods. For example, when this new "security" feature was first implemented, not many knew about it. People ended up buying phones on Swappa and eBay which they couldn't use, and some sellers were unable, or unwilling, or not knowledgeable enough to fix the problem. Hence the demand for methods like this.
There is nothing illegal going on, and thus, discussion is allowed. Once there is indication of fraud, etc., the situation changes. Until then, let's keep the thread on topic, and work under the premise that users have legitimate needs for methods like this.

it is possible to do it ... but i dont know if you are the actual user of the device ... but since people cant bypass it, that means that they are not the original user ....
Nope, this just means 70% of all users that get screwed dont know their google login data.
does not appear Users in settings
I do all the steps you show there but i cant in the Users settings you can help me

Scammers and fraudsters incoming...
IMO this thread should be removed. The only thing it contributes to the world is how to get into a phone that isn't yours.
Oh, and don't even "Freedom Of Speech/Information" here. There's a fine line separating knowledge and exploitation.
Mods, please do something about this.

I disagree. I have a Verizon G4 and just had to reset it--because of LG's stupid skin, I cannot get the text for 2-step verification unless I'm on the homescreen (it makes a dumb popup happen).
As a result, I'm completely stuck on the "Verify Your Account" and can't get past it because no text.
There are legitimate usages for this. Don't be so quick to make assumptions.
I know this post is a little old but I wanted to share a method found to work on the Nexus 6 for bypassing the FRP. Hope it helps

By the way, QuickShortcut.apk really worked. Thanks a lot. I didn't have Users in General settings also on ZV5 5.1 and this method helped.
I'm sorry, I don't agree with this. How about we all just lock our house doors, but leave a note pinned to them telling people how to get in without the keys? Security measures are there for a reason, what's the point in publicising how to bypass them? Unlocking bootloaders? Fine. Removing network SIM-locks? Fine.
Changing IMEI's allows thieves to change the IMEI and bypass IMEI blacklists. Bypassing these restoration locks allows thieves to use the phones they steal.
This is a legitimate security feature and if people are publicising instructions on how to bypass it, what's the point of it being a security feature? Why don't we just start recommending that people don't encrypt their phones, people don't set a lockscreen password, heck, even leave a text file with passwords on the phone?
I'm in total disbelief that this thread has been allowed to continue to be here - sure, the uses for people who have bought second hand phones might benefit from this, but thieves and opportunists have a step by step guide on how to bypass the security features on their 'acquired' handsets.
Then again, what's the point. It's been crawled by Google by now - it's now just a simple Google search away.
Changing hardware identification codes such as IMEI numbers is illegal and discussions of that nature are NOT allowed on the forums.
What is discussed here is not at all related to that, so please do not imply that it is. Thanks.
