    I can sign in on a pc no bother.
    Just the phone wont accept them.
    I think maybe i entered them too many times too. :-(

    I tried a soft reset...no joy

    It's looking for the same Google account that was originally on the device? You're definitely using the right one?

    What's the message you're seeing? When you boot up, is it asking for the last account that was used on the device? Did you have multiple accounts?

    What is the make/model/android version? I remember that stuff used to be a pain on lollipop.

    Yeah god...i have about 5 gmails... but tried them all...
    It just flashes saying "too many attempts"
    I'm starting to think its too many attempts of the signin. (Rather than too many pin attempts which was the original prob)

    Its Samsung Galaxy S3
