Hello, my nest account is linked to old phone number and I can’t log in to change number. How do I receive verification code if I don’t have access to old number. I have a Nest camera as shown in photos. Error message saying devise is linked but can’t do anything

Since Google Nest does not have any process for your situation, you might need to do a factory reset and re-install it.

If that doesn't work, you could try the process Google Nest suggested on this thread:

Neither worked. The reset button does nothing

Hi Sara2023,

 

Thanks for posting and for sharing what you’ve done to have your concern resolved.

 

The Nest Cam Indoor doesn’t have a reset button. To unlink the Nest device from the old account and connect it to a new one, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Unplug the camera(s).
  2. Wait at least 48 hours (2 days).
  3. Before the pairing process, change the Wi-Fi network SSID.
    Important: These steps disconnect any devices that are currently connected to the Wi-Fi network.
  4. Plug the cameras back into a power outlet and connect them to the account using the new Wi-Fi network SSID.
  5. Once they're paired, change the Wi-Fi network SSID back to the original SSID.
  6. Use the Nest app to update the camera's Wi-Fi settings to reflect the original SSID.

I appreciate the help, MplsCustomer.

 

Best,

Lance

Hi neither worked. The reset bottom does nothing when pushed.
