  Thanks for the feedback.

  As to Rudy's (the OP's) 'Hard reset' ('Wipe data/factory reset') of
his Android phone: That probably has been solved, but sofar he hasn't
confirmed that.

  If not, there probably still are two other methods, the one via the
Google Account of his friend and - IIRC - the adb one on a computer.

  You sinner! In short order, the Usenet Court will decide what your
penance should be. Be prepared that it will be *very* severe!
