Hi 22ratcat22,
I glanced upon your issue and i was able to stumble up on youtube that shares the same sentiment as yours, you might like to click this youtube line as it provides a detailed visual guide on how it gets resolved : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I3qnt-n4JU4 . What he/she did was just to unlink the device the moment they got the “phone locked “ message by going to Preferences>Account>Unlink Device . Once unlinked , the system just automatically attempts to reconfigure the installation set up and the phone was already granted full access to Dropbox and allowed to start importing files. Hope this might be of help though.
Thanks
