Question

Can I use two tablets if I forgot the password and didn't receive a code on my cell phone? One tablet works, but the other does not.

If a tablet isn't working due to a forgotten password and you didn’t receive the code, try resetting the password through your Google account on the working tablet. You may also do a factory reset on the locked tablet to remove the password, being aware that this will erase all data. Be sure the phone number linked to your Google account is correct to receive the recovery code. If these steps don’t help, contact customer support for further assistance.
