There are no possible workarounds for this error message since it is associated with the Amazon service which controls the connectivity architecture for their Echo devices.

Solution 1: Ensuring proper Internet connection

The only thing you can excluding contacting Amazon support is making sure that the internet connection you are using is strong and has proper connectivity. If you are using any firewalls or proxy servers, you should turn them off and try again.

Connectivity problems are always one of the main issues when registering an application since it is not only about just entering your credentials. We also recommend that you move closer to the access point of the router. If the issue persists, restart your router and try again. If even you are unable to register your Echo, you should switch to another network and try there.

Solution 2: Contacting Amazon Support

This error message primarily signifies that you should contact Amazon support immediately. Like we explained earlier, you experience this error message because of one of the following reasons. There might also be other cases out there which don’t cover.

• The Echo device is either reported stolen or lost.
• You bought your Echo device from third-party vendors.
• Your Echo device was given to you as a Gift.
• Your Echo device was misplaced by your courier or you recalled it earlier (before it arrived anyway and you used it).

This error message primarily means that the Echo device is not getting registered to the account from which was primarily brought on. This is the case if you were given a gift or bought it from third-party vendors.

In the case of mail, when you recall your Echo, Amazon automatically blocks it from the backend.

In any case, contact Amazon Support and explain the error code to them. They will instantly understand your situation and guide you through the entire way. It is best if you have your Amazon Echo box with you. It contains a serial number which when provided to the customer service, can get your Echo unlocked with ease.
