So can anyone guess my next question then?
How do I reset the Nexus back to factory defaults without sighted
assistance? I think I started off with Jelly Bean 4.1, and am now on KitKat
4.4.2 I think. It isn't life or death as I use my iOS devices far more
frequently, but I play with Android when I get a bit of free time and can
drag myself kicking and screaming away from my audio books.
So thanks for your patience and help everyone, it is appreciated.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Yes, it makes sense! No, it won't come back - when you reset the
Nexus, after it boots up the first time, it will ask you to associate
with a gmail account.
At this point you put your NEW account in, and there is no possible
way it could know about the old one :)
