Josh Brooks, THANK YOU so much, your 4 steps below absolutely worked. I tried the "DisplayUnlockCaptcha" while logged in, did not work. Followed your steps, and it worked.
Thanks again. In general, and on a side note, I am not a big fan of Apple products, but when my kids devices have had issues, Apple support has been great. Where is Google support like this??? If it wasn't for the luck of finding Josh's post, I would have been helpless. My opinion and experience.
