Nest thermostat

My nest thermostat nest app says that I’m connected to an account. My phone app is asking for an “entry Key” and won’t connect until I put on me in. How do I proceed?

Get an entry key from your thermostat:
  1. Press your thermostat's ring to open the Quick View. menu.
  2. Choose Settings .
  3. Turn the ring to Nest app and press the ring to select. it.
  4. Select Get Entry Key to retrieve a unique entry key. Follow the next steps below to use your Nest app to. add your thermostat to your account.

Thank you for this info. I’ve followed these steps and it doesn’t give me an entry key. It says device associated with an account. It’s not associated with my account so I assume it is associated with the previous owners account. How do I get past this?

Sorry , all the information is required, your first post did not mention that this device was previously owned by someone else, so yes it would be linked to another account.  You will need to factory reset it, and start from scratch.
