FDR without removing PIN security

[bweave17]

My Turbo has an Exchange account which has forced PIN security - recently I did a FDR using the 'powered off' method without removing the pin lock and now, when I start the Turbo I am in an endless cycle of it telling me that my phone was reset and that I need to use the gmail account associated with that phone to log back in. The problem that I am having is that using the gmail account with that phone is not work.

Around the time of the FDR I also reset my Google password because of some funky emails that I have been getting.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Are you able to log in to your gmail account on a desktop?

Have you tried using Android device manager?
