Because Nest Hub Max contains a Nest Cam, it must be removed from the previous owner's account before it is factory reset. It sounds as though the previous owner did not do that.

Unfortunately, there is no way around this and you would need to return it to the place of purchase. Let them know about this issue, and that they should not have accepted it from the previous owner without checking that.

Hey folks,

I appreciate the assistance here, @David_K.

@Ams1970500, thanks for reaching out and we're sorry for this experience. You need to get a hold of your local CeX store like what davidking said since the only one who can remove the Google Nest Hub Max is the previous owner. If you are unable to get a hold of them, let me know so I can look for other options for you.

Keep me in the loop.

Regards,
Lovely
