how can I remove the google account for a tablet. The tablet is locked and the owner died. no access to the google account

If you're unable to access the Google account due to the owner's passing and the tablet is locked, here are some general steps you can consider: 1. **Contact Google Support**: Explain your situation to Google Support. They may be able to provide options for account recovery or guidance on how to proceed with the locked device. 2. **Check for Documentation**: If you have any documentation that proves ownership or rights to the device (such as a will or appointment of executor documentation), this may help in discussions with Google or the manufacturer. 3. **Factory Reset (if applicable)**: Attempting a factory reset on the device can sometimes help, but be aware that most devices with Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or later have Factory Reset Protection (FRP) enabled. This means that after a reset, you'll still need to enter the Google account credentials that were previously synced to the device. - To perform a factory reset, you generally: - Power off the device. - Press and hold the appropriate button combination (often Power + Volume Down or Up) until you see the recovery menu. - Use the volume buttons to navigate to "Factory Reset" and confirm with the Power button. - Note: This may not bypass FRP. 4. **Seek Help from a Professional**: Consider taking the tablet to a professional repair service. They may have tools or methods to assist with bypassing the lock or gaining access to the device without needing the Google account credentials. 5. **Manufacturer Assistance**: If all else fails, contacting the tablet's manufacturer directly may yield further instructions or assistance regarding removing the account or accessing the device. 6. **Legal Procedures**: In some cases, you may need to go through legal procedures to gain ownership or access, especially if the device has sensitive data. **Important Note**: Always ensure you have the right to access the device. Circumventing locks or gaining unauthorized access to devices may be illegal or against terms of service, depending on the jurisdiction and specific circumstances.
