Google introduced Factory Reset Protection (FRP) in Android 5.1. It helps prevent someone from using a protected phone after resetting it without the account holder's permission.

After a protected reset, setup may ask for a Google account previously synced with the phone. When preparing a phone for resale or a handover, remove its Google accounts through Settings before resetting it.

If you can unlock your Samsung phone and open Settings, you can disable FRP by removing its Google accounts. FRP applies to Android 5.1 and later; the Settings menu names differ between older Samsung phones and newer Galaxy models.

Follow these steps before performing a factory reset:

Step 1. From your phone's Home screen, open Apps, then Settings.

Step 2. On older Samsung phones, go to Settings > Accounts > Google and select the synced account. On newer Galaxy phones, use Settings > Accounts and backup > Manage accounts, then select your Google account.

Step 3. Tap More or the three-dot menu if shown. On versions that display Remove account directly, use that option.

Step 4. Tap Remove Account and confirm. Enter the phone's PIN, pattern, or password if prompted, then repeat for any other Google accounts on the device.

Note

• On other Android phones, look for Accounts or Passwords & accounts in Settings, then select the Google account you want to remove.
• Removing an account from the phone keeps the Google account and its online data intact.
• Check that no Google accounts remain on the phone before resetting it for someone else.

For a second-hand phone, the previous account holder can review the device and sign out through their Google account online. This manages account access; Google's procedure for turning off FRP is to remove the Google account from the phone itself.

Step 1. Sign in to the Google account linked to the phone at https://myaccount.google.com/.

Step 2. Open Security & sign-in. Older versions of this page used the labels Sign-in & security and Device activity & notifications.

Step 3. Under Your devices, select Manage all devices. In the older interface, this was Recently used devices > Review devices.

Step 4. Select the phone, choose Sign out, and confirm. If several sessions appear for that phone, sign out of each one. The older screenshot below shows the Remove button.

If the phone is already at Verify your account, complete verification with an account previously synced to it. The desktop method below addresses FRP removal when you cannot use those Google sign-in details.

If you do not know the password for the Google ID synced on your device, you can still disable FRP lock because you can use a third-party tool called iMyFone LockWiper (Android) FRP unlocker.

LockWiper (Android) brings device detection, package downloads, and FRP removal together in a guided desktop process. Clear instructions help you work through each stage and get the phone ready to use with a new Google account.

Key Features of LockWiper (Android):

• Disable FRP lock on Samsung phones without entering the Google password.
