Google Account Factory Reset Protection Lock: purpose and effective ways to bypass the lock


Today we will study ways to bypass Google account after resetting settings. Let's start with the reasons and talk about FRP, then we'll look at various ways to bypass a Google account.

With each new release of Android, Google tries to raise the level of security of this mobile operating system. So, with version Android 5.1 Lollipop, a new anti-theft mechanism was added, the essence of which is as follows: after purchase, the owner of a smartphone or tablet binds this device to himself when he enters his Google account, if the device is stolen and the attacker erases all data, he will run into protection Google Device Protection called Factory Reset Protection or FRP.

FRP Lock is an anti-reset protection system that should protect your smartphone from intruders, but at the same time, quite a few users suffered who, for various reasons, lost their accounts and passwords, as well as those who bought or sold Android smartphones; a used smartphone was locked after resetting to factory settings.

So that after resetting the phone does not require account activation, you need to disable FRP (Factory Reset Protection) before resetting to factory settings. To do this, you will need to go to Android “Settings” -> “Accounts/Accounts” and delete your Google account. If you try to enter your Google account after resetting your Android settings, but you can’t go any further, then most likely you reset your password not long ago; if this is the case, then wait 24-72 hours, then try again.

    .
  10. At this point, the unlinking process can be considered complete, the old account will be deleted, and you can link another account or create a new one.

Bypassing Google Account via “adding another call”

This option is used if there is no Internet connection or it is impossible to open the phone settings menu in any way. Insert the SIM card into the phone that needs to be freed from your Google account. Turn it on, then call from another number to a locked smartphone, accept the call, call up the additional menu and add another call. Enter a random set of numbers and add this combination to your contacts. Link the number to your Google account and, if necessary, create a new one and reboot your device.

How to completely delete an account from Google Account

Google's privacy policy allows you to delete your account once and for all, rather than simply logging out of it on a specific device. For this you will need:

  1. Launch phone settings.
  2. Go to the “Google” section.
  3. Select "Google Account".
  4. Open the “Data and Personalization” tab.
  5. Click on the inscription “Delete a service or account.”

  6. Click the “Delete account” button.
  7. Check the boxes to confirm deletion.
  8. Click “Delete account” again.

Now your Google account will be erased once and for all. It will not be possible to log in to any of the existing devices. Therefore, it is recommended to think carefully before performing the operation. It may be enough for you to simply log out of your account.

Bypass Google account using “code *#*#4636#*#*”

  1. Insert the new SIM card into your smartphone.
  2. Then make a call from another phone to the new number.
  3. Next, accept the incoming call and then select “add new call.”
  4. In the Phone application, enter the code *#*#4636#*#*
  5. After entering the special code, your smartphone will open an extended settings menu.
  6. Then you need to press the “Back” button to get to the “Settings” section.
  7. Go to the “Restore and reset” section.
  8. Next, disable “Data Backup” and everything related to recovery
  9. We perform a reset to factory settings.
  10. The last step is to enter your Google account login and password.

Popular reasons for blocking

Common reasons can be listed at a glance: 1. Locking the phone, on which the default settings have been restored. Google has implemented a security feature called Factory Reset Protection, or FRP, into its own operating system. If an account was connected on the phone and the phone was reset to factory settings, FRP protection will work. To unlock, it asks you to enter the address and password from the previously synchronized account.

2. During registration, indicate your age is less than 13 years. The Good Corporation has its own policy for providing services for children. While they are minors, their parents are responsible for them, so an account for the child is created through the Family Link platform for parents. Creation and recovery of a blocked account or forgotten password is done through it. A parent account connected to the service is required.

3. If your Google profile is connected to G Suite as a user profile, only an admin can unlock the account in the Google Admin Console.

4. Disabling a regular profile for violating the rules for using services. In this case, only communication with the support service will help.

Repair shops sometimes list unlocking a Google account from a phone (meaning FRP protection) as a service. What is the price? Within 1000 rubles.

1. In scatter-loading, specify your scatter

2. Go to the Format tab - Manual Format Flash

Official way to reset google account

Everything is simple here. Go to your phone settings. Select the option to reset/restore factory settings. Disable or completely delete your account (if you need a completely clean phone). It should be noted here that in different localizations, from different manufacturers, items may be called differently. However, the meaning and their location are unchanged.

Let us note right away: in order for the phone to forget its Google account after resetting the settings, just click on reset. This will only return everything to the original settings of applications and some files. Even information about third-party accounts will be saved. Therefore, read how to delete a Google account after resetting the settings.

Bypassing Google Account with QuickShortcutMaker

By the way, I would say that this method helps 80% of cases that are associated with FRP. So I recommend using it first.

  1. Turn on the phone and connect to Wi-Fi;
  2. In the field where you need to indicate your email, as in the first option, write several letters and highlight them;
  3. In the menu that appears, click on the three dots and select the item “need support or help (ASSIST)”, I don’t remember exactly what this item is called;
  4. Next, you will be transferred to the “Google Now” window, where you will be offered help, but here we need to click on “No, thanks”;
  5. After this, Google search will appear, with which we can navigate between the different menu items of the phone. So, enter Chrome in the search bar and launch it by clicking on the icon that appears;
  6. So let's start as usual. You need to get into Chrome. Therefore, we carry out points 1 to 5, which were indicated in the previous version;
  7. Next we look for and download the installation apk file, Test DPC programs;
  8. We start its installation, and, if necessary, allow installation from unknown sources.
  9. In the application that opens, mark the second item “Set up device owner” and move on;
  10. We confirm the transition to the next step several times by clicking on “encrypt (encrypt)”;
  11. After this, the phone should reboot and a few seconds will pass to configure the previously installed parameters of the Test DPC application;
  12. Then the phone will turn on itself and again, as usual, we set up the phone. A few more new items may appear, but you don’t need to change anything in them, just skip these steps and move on;
  13. Having configured the phone, it should boot and we have access to its basic settings, this is exactly what we need. So first of all, go to “Settings”;
  14. Go to “About device” - “Software information” and click on “build number” several times until a message appears that developer options are now available to you;
  15. We go back and go to “Developer Options”, where we turn on the “OEM Unlock” item;
  16. Then we go back to the main settings menu, select the “Restore and reset” item and do another data reset;
  17. After the phone reboots, set up the phone again by registering a new one or entering an existing Google account;

Android Settings Using QuickShortcutMaker

This is another out-of-the-box approach to the case where you can't get into an Android device with FRP. When you get to a screen asking for data input, you need to return to the place where you select a language.

Procedure:

  1. Select English from the list;

  2. Next, quickly press the “Home” button 3 times. It is located in the middle of the three main buttons on the smartphone panel. The voice assistant should notify you that TalkBack is enabled;
  3. Switch back to Russian. You need to draw an oblique line across the screen with your finger. Approximately in the area shown in the screenshot. Repeat this action several times if necessary;


    Swipe your finger across your smartphone screen

  4. The general context menu should open. In it you need to select “TalkBack Settings”. The app is also called Android Accessibility Suite;

  5. When the settings open, you need to turn off TalkBack in the same way - press the “Home” button 3 times;
  6. Then select “Privacy Policy” and select any mobile browser to access the network;
  7. In the search bar, write the query “QuickShortCutMaker” and click the search button. It is important to find a site with the APK file of this application without opening the Google Play address;

  8. Download and then install the application. Do not try to follow these instructions to get directly into your smartphone’s settings. The system will immediately “throw you out” to the initial screen, where it all began. After downloading, a notification should appear asking you to install the application;
  9. Open the app and select the Advanced Search tab.


    Enter "TouchWiz" here and select it from the results;

  10. Next, click on “View”.


    And immediately you will see the Android desktop. Go to settings and click “About device”;

  11. Next, select “Software Information” and quickly click on “Build Number” several times (about 7-10 times) to enable developer mode;

  12. Now go back and select Developer Options;
  13. Turn on the “Unlock, provide ...” option, then go back and select “Backup and reset” and “Data reset”;

  14. Confirm the data reset and wait for the process to complete.

Next, you will also need to create a new account or log into another existing one. As you noticed, during the process you will need Internet via Wi-Fi. To open TolkBack settings, you may need to press two fingers horizontally along the edges of the screen instead of swiping your finger across an oblique line.
