Hi @Georg2, welcome to our community!

If you want to remove your Google account from your device, go to  Settings > Accounts & services > Account sync > Google, tap on your Google account > 3 dots > Remove, tap remove account again to confirm.

Now your Google account is removed from the specific device, it will however still be added to your other devices where you have added it previously.

Let me know if that helps! Slightly_smiling_Face

Hi @galirio95, sorry to hear about this. Slightly_frowning_Face

If you have reset your device, you will need to log in to the device again with the same Google account that was added in the device prior to you resetting it.

If you know the account, you can reset the password (you will have to wait 24 hours before you can log in to the device again for security reasons).

If you can't remember which Google account that was added in the device, please get in touch with your Local support team and they will assist you further.

I hope that helps!

Hi @neza1!

Do you have a screen lock on the device? If you do, try removing it and then see if you are able to remove the Google account from the device.

You can also take a look in Settings > Lock screen & Security > Device admin, uncheck those that you can and see if you can remove it then.

Let me know how it goes! Slightly_smiling_Face

That's complicated, you might want to check if you have the Google account with other phones or computers and try to reset your password there, and/or contact Google if you can't remember your password
