Sorry, we can't offer accurate help unless you tell us what tablet you are asking about!

 

If you have a Slate7 2800, the answer has been provided several times in this thread...

...and once again, please tell us which tablet you are asking about!   😕

 

Passwords would not be very useful if there were easily defeated, correct?   I have used various "Password Safe" programs throughout the years with all my technology.  From apple //e computers, to Palm PDA's, to Windows PC's and Android Tablets.  The apps keep your passwords safely encrypted, but you still have to remember ONE password to gain access to the app!   😉

 

My safe right now has over 304 entries in it!  Websites, logins, etc...  I suggest looking into using one of these apps!

I have the HP 7 1800. I understand the significance of various passwords But my issue is why it tells me to put in my google username and pw in order to unlock it.. Then it rejects it, everytime. It's just frustrating..
Thank you

Thank you

There are only two reasons your gmail credentials would be rejected, either they are incorrect (try to sign in on another device to confrim they are correct) or the device you are having the issue with does not have a network (wifi) connection which is not allowing it to connect to google's servers to validate your login. If you cannot move into range of a previously connected network and have the device connect, then a reset will likely be your only option. We do not store your google password on the tablet for your security and so we have to connect to the internet for validation.
