Help BLU Studio 5.0c pin issue

[izzy1665]

Picked up one of these for $5 at the flea market today from one of the guys that buys abandoned storage units. My son keeps destroying the screens on the everything we buy him so I'm going cheap for awhile. Anyway, it works and I've done a factory reset on it BUT as soon as I try to begin the setup it enters PIN mode wanting me to input a pin as it one has already been set up. I've been through the factory reset process at least 6 times now, maybe more and the pin is still there. Sorry for the sideways view, I didn't record it sideways.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

usually means either who ever had it beforehand got it from a rent to own place and never finished paying it off or the didn't remove the Google account.

Thanks for the reply, I thought a factory reset wiped that as well though, at least thats what the youtube vids claim. Oh well, at least I'm only out 5 bucks. Sons not happy LOL
