[ASUS Zen Pad 10 Z300 Series] Need help to setup tablet as gift to my mom.

Support

Hi everyone,

I don't use tablets and am unfamiliar with them but at work recently our firm purchased another firm and part of the process was to wipe all the drives off their devices. We sold what we could and kept some devices for our use or for e-waste.

The IT guy gifted me a wiped Zen Pad 10 Z300 series and when I follow the steps to set it up I get this message: https://imgur.com/a/D0h14tO "This device was set to it's factory settings. To continue, connect to a network and sign in to the previous Google Account (required)".

That account is no more and the employee who might have held that account now works for a different company.

Is there anything I can do to get around this? Is there another type of reset I can do on the board of the device or something?

I'm hoping to gift this to my mom lol and would rather it be used than end up in e-waste...

Thanks for reading.

Well it doesn't seem there will be a solution...everything I find online is like jailbreaking the device or w/e using all sorts of strange solutions that get patched out so I guess that's that.

Shame this perfectly functional device will end up in e-waste but better that than collecting dust I suppose....
