I shouldn't have to do this, what if I'd just bought or sold it? How can I get round it? I've cleared the cache in the boot options, and can't see any option for deleting user data.

The tablet needs to be removed from whoever used it before. Just search Google security check, then remove.

You should have to do this, it's a security feature. Albeit bad already, phone snatching would be out of control if someone could just reset the phone and it be fully unlocked."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52128404","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Renoir64"},"datePublished":"2024-02-03T13:10:57.000Z","text":"Its to stop it being reused if it gets nicked.

Just put the details it asks for in, problem solved

I've removed access to it from Google's security tab, but I can't disable it in the play.google library devices page. When I untick the box it waits a second then comes back again. Assuming I might just have to wait for it to expire."}],"commentCount":10,"interactionStatistic":12,"articleSection":"Ask"}
