SOLVED: Can't use my phone after a hard reset? (can't get pass beyond "This device was reset...")

1 Samsung Galaxy J7
2 Method used was Volume Up + Turn On + Home and then both wipe commands
3 "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously sync... blabla"
4 I DO know my credentials of the actual synched account (both mail and password)
5 Trying them loops back (they're asked again as if I was starting all over)
6 Google Account (accessed from PC) correctly displays these attempts
7 Two step verification is OFF and using non secure applications is ON
8 Don't tell me "if you changed your password you have to wait 72 hours blabla" because I didn't change my password, it has remained always the same so I know this is it
9 This is driving me crazy
10 Help?

I "solved" it. For anyone facing the same problem, here it is:
DON'T BELIEVE THE DEFAULT TEXT "google account or phone number", just place your phone number, don't even try with your google account or else you might face the same issue.
