Galaxy S9 Google Locked... 24 or 72 hr Timer??

    I bought a phone on Ebay. It's Google locked and wants me to log in to Google so that I can set up the phone. The seller gave me his email and password but the phone doesn't care. It just keeps saying to log in. I know the credentials are right because I can log in online with them. He reset the password recently, and I'm told this starts a 24 or 72 hour timer in which you can't log in. But I couldn't find anything that says whether it is 24 or 72 hours for this phone... Galaxy S9. Can someone tell me? I want to know whether to send it back to him for a refund or if I just need to wait a little while longer.

    Thanks,

    Nick

    A password change doesn't take time, but a password change just before or just after a factory reset does produce a timeout in Factory Reset Protection, which seems to be the OP's problem.

    Unfortunately I've also seen mixed messages on this. From memory this was originally 72 hours, then I read that it was being reduced, but then many people reported that this reduction didn't seem to have happened. So I've no confidence in what the actual answer is.

    mikedt 你好

    I've heard of password time-outs with Apple accounts, like 48 hours, etc, but not Google accounts. So can't help you.
