As part of our continuous efforts to help our users protect their information, we recently launched 2-step verification for all Google accounts. Starting March 14, we will also increase the minimum password length requirement for Google Apps accounts from 6 characters to 8.

This new policy aligns Google Apps accounts with consumer accounts that already require passwords to be at least 8 characters long.

Existing users can keep their current password even if it doesn’t match the new security requirements, but they will be required to comply when changing their password for the first time. Administrators will also need to comply when resetting passwords for users.

With this change, passwords set via the Google Apps Control Panel from March 14 will need to be at least 8 characters long. Calls to the Provisioning API that try to set a users password that is shorter than 8 characters will also fail with an InvalidPassword error message. For more information on how to programmatically manage user accounts, please check the Provisioning API Developer’s Guide.

Hey,

I have a Flare S3 phone and as I remember I still dont have a tutorial to hard reset this phone. Just check out the tutorial below.



Hard resetting / factory resetting your phone will solve the following issues:

1. If you forgot your pattern lock
2. If you forgot your gmail account
3. If you forgot your password
4. Apps that automatically force closing
5. Stuck in Cherry Mobile Logo (sometimes does not work if the firmware is totally damage)


NOTE: Performing hard reset will erase your data.


To hard reset:

1. Turn off your phone.
2. Press and Hold VOLUME UP + Power button (for about 10 seconds). Keep pressing and holding until the phone power up and until you enter in Android System Recovery.

3. Select wipe data / factory reset. To navigate press the VOLUME ROCKER, to confirm your selection PRESS VOLUME UP
4. Reboot your phone.

Note:
If performing hard reset did not succeed, you need to wipe the cache first in the android system recovery before performing wipe / factory reset.

I hope this tutorial helps you.. If you have any question just drop a
comment.
