Can't log in after factory reset

[bullfrog669]

Hello

I have Xperia Z5 which was running latest Marshmallow fw but had some problems with battery consumption.

I did a factory reset as I hoped it would solve the problem. But after the reset I couldn't remember the right gmail password so I chose to reset it.

Everything went well, I got new password but I still couldn't log in to my phone(it says "please sign in using one of the owner's accounts for this device"). I did some research and it seemed that I had to have the same password I used on phone while it was active(before resetting it). I did occasionally find that password and I've set it back(had to reset password a 100 times).

Still, I can't log in as I'm being displayed the same message (please sign in using one of the owner's accounts for this device).

I've also found that I have to wait for 72 hours after last password change to be able to log in.

Is that true or I've ruined my phone?

Thanks, 

Vanja

If you have reset your password, you need to wait 72 hours first.

I did similar, Have factory reset Xperia Z5, and also chamged password of gmail account. Everytime, I try logging in, it says please sign in from previously synced account. Will waiting for 72 hours aolve the purpose? Or is there anything wrong with the device?
