Hello folks,
I've been an Android tablet owner for about 3 hours now. My brand spanking new device came with somebody else's gmail account already set up on it!
I set up my own, and tried to delete the other, but the system won't let me, claiming the account is needed by some applications, and I would have to do a factory reset first to clear all data.
So I attempted a Factory Reset, clicked all the "are your sure" buttons, and was presented with an instruction to connect the usb host to do factory restore???? Nothing further happened, and nothing got reset.
Any attempt to do anything brings up a password error on the other gmail account...
WTF?
1) Have I been passed a 2nd hand unit as new?
2) How can I get rid of the other account?
It's a 7" MID X5A device with 2.1 installed.
Any clues greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Pcal
