It looks like the previous owner has not removed the Nest Hub Max from their account.

I'm having the same problem I'm trying to sync into my account with the hub max as a 2nd owner. But it keeps saying the previous owner have to log out or delete their account first on this device before I can sync my account. And the previous owner is not responding to me. Please someone help us!!!

Hi EdwardT

Thanks for taking time to look at it. My issue has been resolved. Previous owner called on google customer service and deleted his account from this device. It working perfectly now.

Hi Ary

Previous owner has to call on Google customer service to delete his account from the device. Then you'll be able to use this device.  Thanks

I am having the same issue, the only difference is the original account linked to the hub max is my old account that is now disabled.

Hello Joshua

If it is still not working, the only thing you can do is call google and verify your identity with the account then ask them to remove the account from the device.

I hope your Question is Answered. 

Thanks

Thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately I called a little over a week ago and tried but there was no luck. Google Help filed a ticket ID to our senior tech regarding my case, but still no word.
