Bypassing a google account after resetting a phone

[Jessie McManus]

I need help. I got this Lg Aristo 2 from a buddy of mine the other night and I factory reset it but the factory reset protection is saying I need the email and password of the owner before me. My buddy never used the phone and doesn't remember where he got it from. How do you bypass the google sign in thing without needing the email and password? I've tried everything but nothing worked. If you know please let me know.

If you received this phone from a friend and this friend never used it, there wouldn't be any Google account registered to it. At some point somebody had have used the phone if there's a previous owner's account on it. If it was new and unused, during the initial startup process it would be asking for a new user and password, not an already configured one.
Where did your friend obtain this phone?

He said he got it from one of his friends but he don't remember which one. There was an email on it before but he reset of before we got a chance. I'm still not able to get in the phone.

It sounds like this phone has a questionable past. FRP is intentionally not easy to bypass. You could try taking this phone to local repair center to have it checked over and reset officially, and be sure to take any proof of ownership with you. If it's stolen and/or blacklisted, you're going want to have documentation of this phone's history with you.

Okay. Thank you.
