Found galaxy stylo. Even though screen is all cracked up it seems to work fine. I did a factory reset (unaware of what would happen) and found that I now needed to unlock it with previous users email. Anyway, when I got to where I needed internet I touched LAPL-Public (even though it said internet unavailable. Cannot auto connect). Then it connected but then it informed me that I "Cannot use this Wi-Fi network. To use, sign in to Google account" Is there a way to unlock this phone without knowing previous users email

Welcome to Android Central.

No way to unlock. Why don't you do the proper thing and hand it over to the proper authorities. This way the owner has a chance of having it returned.

Yes it's a failsafe to prevent people from doing what you're doing...finding a phone and trying to use it. It's a protection for people's data and content. I agree...just turn it in. There is no known way to get past the protection anyway. Your paperweight could be somebody's precious photos and/or memories.

Not sure why this is in the Pokemon GO forum.

True. And all possible answers have been given already. Thread closed.
