If the device is suddenly stolen and the attacker erases all data, he will run into Google Device Protection called Factory Reset Protection or FRP.

The first version of the Android platform has undergone several updates since its release. Google, paying great attention to the further development of the system, is constantly working not only to correct detected errors, but also to expand the functionality of the popular OS.

What is the problem with FRP function?

One of the innovations of the developers of the Android operating system was the latest protection system, which appeared on devices starting with version 5.1. This function (Factory Reset Protection or FRP lock) is as follows: if the smartphone is lost or stolen, the owner will be able to lock his gadget, after which, without a login/password pair from a Google account, the phone will not be subject to further use. The same protection will also work if you try to do a hard reset.

But how can we bypass our Google account if we reset the settings ourselves, for example, when flashing the device or deleting the pattern? In addition, there are often cases when the system does not accept the correct password/login.

In any case, when you first start the device and try to access the wi-fi network, a request will appear on the smartphone screen to confirm your Google account on Android:

This is where the need arises to find a way to cope with the problem.

Google account bypass

It should be noted that the situation is complicated by the fact that in the context of a large number of companies producing smartphones based on Android, and an even larger number of models, there is simply no single universal solution for all devices. Therefore, we will now look at several proven options.

How to avoid the reset problem

To avoid getting into an unpleasant situation, do not forget to take advantage of the opportunity provided by the developers. To do this, before performing a reset, go to “ Settings", select the section " Accounts" (May be " Accounts"), we find " Google", open.

Next, call up the menu by clicking on the three dots in the upper right corner and select “ Delete account"(on some models, the action selection is caused by a long press on the account field). Now we need put your device into developer mode(USB debugging) and activate the “ OEM Unlocking»:

Five ways to bypass Google account protection

Method No. 1

The first step is to remove the SIM card and then turn on the smartphone. Next, select the desired language, ignore the window with SIM (button “ skip"). In the next window where you need to enter a phone number or email. mail, press and hold the symbol @ until the settings button appears, first press it, and then “ Android Keyboard Settings" After that, press the touch button “ back" at the very bottom of the display, then press and hold the submenu button there (you may also have to press the " home", differently on all devices) until the Google search bar appears:

In the search bar that opens, write the word “ settings" Once in the settings section, select “ Recovery and reset", and then turn off " Auto recovery" And " Saving backups"(and in exactly this sequence), after which we reset the settings:

Method number 2

Another universal method that can help in a difficult situation when it is not possible to access the Internet or settings or it is also impossible to perform other actions.

What should be done:

We insert the SIM card into the locked phone, from which we will delete the drone account. Then, call this number from another device. We accept the call and select the action " Add new challenge", then enter any numbers in the dialer:

Now we need to enter our Google account, for which we know the password (or create a new one). After that, we save the contact to this account:

After the completed manipulations, reboot the smartphone.

Method number 3

We insert a SIM card into the smartphone that we will unlock and call this number from another phone. Next, as described in the second method, click on + (i.e. add a new call), and drop the call. After this, the keyboard will open, use it to enter the following combination: *#*#4636#*#* (see screenshot):

Immediately after entering the last character, an automatic transition to a new window with information and advanced settings will occur. Now click on the arrow located in the upper left corner of the screen and go to the standard device settings, select the section “ Recovery and reset", disable " Copying data" And " Auto recovery" (May be " Archiving" And " Data recovery"), after which we perform a factory reset (or hard reset):

It remains to wait for the procedure to complete, and after that we log into our Google account via Wi Fi.

Method number 4

You can try to enter the standard settings in another way: on the main screen, press and hold the “ Home", and when the Google icon appears, tap on it and go to the search bar, click, the keyboard appears, type the word " Settings»:

Method number 5

Please watch the video that tells you how to bypass your Google account using the application after resetting the settings QuickShortcutMaker, which will help provide quick access to the settings of a locked smartphone, as well as to the menu of applications installed on it:

We talked about the simplest and most popular methods that can help resolve the issue without harming the device. You can find a lot of other methods on the Internet, but do not forget that if you are not confident in your actions, then there is a danger of causing even more damage to your gadget. Therefore, if you have saved the receipts and the warranty period has not expired, then the specialists at the service center will help you completely free of charge.

*Note: if the described actions did not bring the desired result, do not rush to try everything at once. It makes sense to wait from one to three days, and then proceed to the next attempts, because this is exactly the period provided by the developers for unlocking the device.

Was the information provided useful to you? Have you encountered such a problem? If yes, then tell us how you managed to bypass Google account on Android. That's all for me, good luck!

Many users who have performed a Hard Reset on their device experience problems logging into their linked Google account. In general, the picture looks like this: after loading the reset device, at a certain stage you are asked to enter the data of the previously connected account “The device has been restored to its default settings. To continue, sign in to the Google account that was synced with it.".

If you enter incorrect data, then the following notification will be displayed: "Log in to one of the accounts of the owner of this device". This confirmation, which was introduced on Android (from version 5.0), allows you to protect the personal data of owners. Today we will show you several methods that will help you fix this problem. Choose the most suitable method for your model.

Turn off the Internet

The first method is to try to solve the problem with simple steps - turn off access to the Internet. When the account verification step is running, turn off your Wi-Fi and remove the SIM card. After this, the confirmation step should be automatically skipped.

Reset your account through Phone Settings

If turning off the Internet does not help, try going to the Settings menu and performing a reset there. You can get into it in several ways - through the keyboard or Okey Google. The simplest would be the following:

1. We launch, after selecting the language, press and hold the Home button.
2. The Google search engine should be activated, where we enter the word “Settings” and click on the result below.
3. If everything is correct, then you will open the phone menu, look for Recovery and reset, where we reset the device settings.

Keyboard reset

Reset can also be initiated via standard keyboard. We start the phone, again we come to the point where data entry is required:

1. Call up the keyboard, where we hold down the dog key - @. The icon should appear gears.
2. Click on it, in the menu that appears click on "Android Keyboard".
3. We go back, there will be an icon on the left "Task Manager"- click on it.
4. The Google Search bar will then appear at the top of the screen. Where you also enter “Settings” and open them through the results.
5. Next, go to the menu as standard "Reset".

Here's another Video instruction, which will clearly show how to activate the phone menu by resetting.

Resetting DRM licenses

Depending on the phone model, not everyone can do the above steps. So you can try resetting DRM licenses, If there are any. To do this, you will need to go to the Settings menu on your smartphone. You can log in using a simple flash drive, which must be inserted into a running device. Here's a visual video on this occasion. But first, a few nuances: you may have to wait a few minutes until the phone detects the external memory. some wait up to an hour :).

Dev program. Settings

However, not all models allow you to enter the phone menu. But there is a solution - installing an application Development Settings. This program will allow you to immediately open the Settings option. After which the Personal Data is completely reset to factory settings. You can download the program to a problematic Android using OTG cable with a flash drive.

Conclusion

As you can see, almost all solutions boil down to obtaining bypass access to the phone menu and then resetting your account data. By the way, the firmware does not solve the problem “The device has been restored to its default settings,” since the factory phone number is tied to a specific Google account. If suddenly all of the above does not help you in any way, or you enter obviously correct data, then you should use recovery via Google Account Recovery. This can be done through a regular browser and without the help of a phone.

The method for solving this problem may not help on all Android OS (This method that I will describe below was done on ANDROYD 5.0.1)
(This method is for those who cannot get into the phone settings to reset/restore the device; I repeat, it is NOT suitable for ALL ANDROYD OS; do everything strictly point by point, otherwise it may not work)

1) You will need 2 phones (the first one is with a SIM card, the second one is locked with an account, but it should also have a working SIM card)
2) We insert the SIM card into the phone that needs to be unlocked, turn on the device, wait for activation until the ENTER GOOGL ACCOUNT item is highlighted.
3) Take the first phone with a SIM card and a working one from which you can call the blocked device.
4) We dial the phone number of the SIM card where it is in the locked phone and call, wait until the call is made.
5) on a locked phone we see our incoming call, we MUST accept the call, then (depending on your phone model) you need to find an item on the screen of a locked phone where during a call you can “ADD A CALL”, usually on the “THREE DOTS” screen and there the item “ ADD CALL" (NEVER RESET THE CALL)
6) If you managed to find this item, then go further, you will see a window with numbers (This is very good), then we will need to enter a special code into this window with numbers.
7) Enter this code: *#*#4636#*#* and if you entered this code correctly, a menu called “CHECK” will open in this menu you will see 2-3 or more items (it also depends on the device model ) on my device there are 3 ITEMS to CHOICE (1. Phone information 2. Usage statistics 3. Wi-Fi infomation)
8) Next we need the item “STATISTICS AND.

Tea this item by swiping. (CLICK OK IF IT IS HIGH)
10) And now we go and do “Device Restore”, click “YES/OK”, confirm all the actions and wait for the process of restoring our device.
11) Create a new Google account and use the purchased device as soon as possible.

PySy: All of the above manipulations are NOT SUITABLE for all ANDROID devices!!!
But you can always try, THUMBS UP IF IT HELPED. Good luck to all.

Google is actively improving the security of the Android OS and introducing anti-theft protection such as linking the device to a Google account. In this article we will figure out how to bypass your Google account after a reset.

A little background

With each new release of Android, Google tries to raise the level of security of this mobile operating system and introduces new protection mechanisms.

Since Android 5.1 Lollipop, a new anti-theft mechanism has been added. Its essence is as follows. Owner smartphone or tablet after purchase, binds this device to you when you enter your Google account. If the device is stolen and the attacker erases all data, he will run into Google Device Protection called Factory Reset Protection or FRP.

But not everything went as smoothly as you wanted if you bought the phone second-hand or forgot your account. The owner of the smartphone makes a complete reset of the device (hard reset). Or after flashing, the smartphone itself does a full reset. After the first boot, selecting a language and connecting to the Internet via WiFi or mobile Internet, the smartphone displays the “Account Confirmation” window and the following message: “ The device has been restored to its default settings.” To continue, sign in to the Google account that was synced with it. This is the window:

Ways to bypass Google account after reset

If we consider it globally, there are two options for resetting the protection:

• Official
• Unofficial (bypass Factory Reset Protection)

Let's look at the official version first FRP reset or how to avoid getting into this problem when resetting, and then we’ll look at all the ways Bypass Factory Reset Protection.

Official FRP Reset/Bypass

1. Enter the username and password for the Google account you had before the reset. When purchasing phones second hand, you must ask for this information.
2. Contact the service center if you have documents confirming the purchase.
3. Replacing key modules or motherboard of a smartphone or tablet

To completely disable Factory Reset Protection/FRP

If after resetting Android does not accept the password

By registering a Google account on your Android phone or tablet, you agree to one implicit condition: you will be let in, but not let out. No, someone won’t take your account captive and pin it to your device forever; simply registering a Gmail email and making it your account is a much clearer and more obvious operation than deleting it. However, there are plenty of ways to remove a Google account from an Android device. They just don't catch your eye.

This method is built into the Android function. It will suit you in the following cases:

• You have decided to give your gadget to a loved one and you are not embarrassed that he will have access to your data, contacts and applications, because you trust him.
• You need to delete your account to fix some glitch on your device.
• You want to log in with a different account.

You don’t have to worry about the data on your tablet or smartphone. After deleting the account, all information belonging to it - applications, files, contacts, personal settings, etc., will remain in place. If you're happy with that, let's go:

• Launch the Settings app.
• Go to the “Personal” -> “Accounts and Sync” section.
• In the column on the right, select the desired Google account (Gmail address).
• Tap the menu button in the top right corner of the screen and select the “Delete account” option.

• Confirm your consent to deletion, enter a password if necessary, and after completing the operation, reboot the device.

Something went wrong and the account is not deleted

I had to deal with this error several times - when I tried to delete the only Google account on Android (the owner of the gadget), the operation froze and did not complete until you stopped it manually. The account remained in place.

One of the solutions turned out to be extremely simple. It is for the case when you want to log in to the device under a different account, make it the owner, and delete the old one.

• Launch the Gmail app by tapping this icon.

• Open the menu hidden behind the “hamburger” button in the top left corner of the screen and click “Add Account.”

• Select Google.

• If you already have another Gmail account, click Existing. If not, “New”. If you choose the second option, follow the instructions for registering a mailbox that you will receive next.

• Next, go to the settings of the Gmail application again. Now there are 2 users there - old and new. One (usually the old one) is loaded as the main one, the second is simply present in the list. Switch to the user you just added by tapping their icon.

• After that, click “Manage accounts” and repeat the operation of deleting the old one. Most likely, this time there will be no problems. The second account will remain the only one and will become the owner of the device. All files, contacts, settings and applications of the old account will be in place.

On different gadgets and different versions of Android, individual points of this instruction may not be performed as described. But the principle is the same everywhere.

Deleting Google Accounts app data

On some devices, you can delete your account in another simple way. Launch the “Settings” system utility, go to the “Applications” section and go to the “All” tab. Find “Google Accounts” in the list and click the “Erase data” button.

On some firmware, you should erase the data not of this application, but of Google Services.

Removing your Google account and all user data (returning the device to its original state)

This option is applicable in the following cases:

• If the owner does not remember his account password and cannot recover it.
• If the above methods for deleting an account do not work correctly or the function is blocked by malware.
• Before selling a gadget and in other similar cases.

There are different ways to delete all accounts and all user information from your phone. The easiest way to do this is through the menu of the same “Settings” application. In my example, the reset button is located in the “Personal Data” - “Backup” section.

On other firmware, both the subsection and the button may be named differently and located in a different location. In particular, on Samsung it is located in the “General” menu and is called “Backup and Reset”, on some Lenovos it is in the “Backup and Reset” section (the “Reset” button). On other devices - anywhere else. Check this in your user manual.

After you press the reset button, Android will warn you that all apps, settings, and accounts will be completely removed from your tablet or phone. If you agree, click "Reset Settings" again and wait about 5 minutes. After restarting you will get a pristine device.

If your device is protected with a password that you don’t remember, you can reset it in a couple of other ways:

• Via the Recovery menu (Wipe Data/Factory Reset option). How to get to this menu, read the instructions for the device.
• Long press the recessed Reset button located on the body of the phone or tablet. On some models it is hidden under the back cover.

An even tougher method of deleting an account, when absolutely nothing helps, is to flash the device through a computer, which is similar to reinstalling Windows on a PC. Of course, there will be no user data and applications left after this either.

Warning: some tablets and phones are so tightly tied to the owner’s account that they require authorization under it even after resetting and flashing. And bypassing this request is very, very difficult (there is no single solution, each brand of device has its own). So while you have access to your Google account information, write down your username and password in a notebook or file on another device and keep it in a safe place.

For those who have root rights

Those who managed to obtain superuser rights on their device have one more opportunity to delete their Google account than others. You can simply delete the accounts.db file where Android stores account information. To do this, you will need a file manager with access to protected service data, such as Root Explorer, and... nothing else.

So, launch Root Explorer, go to the /data/system folder (on some firmwares - to /data/system/users/0/), open the accounts.db context menu with a long touch and select “Delete”.

How to log out of your Google Play account, mail and other applications without deleting your account on Android

Some users are wondering if it is possible to remove your account only from the Goolle Play store, Gmail and other applications that use authorization, but keep all files, programs and settings on Android. I answer: it is possible. If the method of adding a second account through the email program did not help, you can do this by changing the password of your current Google account.

For this:

• Go through any web browser to the “My Account" section on Google.com. Go to the “Security and Login” subsection.

• On the next page, click the "Password" button.

• Enter your current password to confirm that it is you. Next, you will have the opportunity to change it to a new one.

If your gadget is connected to the Internet, the next time you log into Google Play and your email program, the system will ask you to log in. All you have to do is enter your new account information

Development of the android system is one of the main tasks of Google. Among the many new features, we want to talk about a new protection program that has appeared on all Android phones with version 5.1 and higher. Thanks to it, for example, if the phone is lost or stolen, the owner of the device has the opportunity to block it. Thus, no one will be able to boot the phone without knowing the login and password for your account in . It will also work when resetting the phone settings (hard reset).

This feature is called Google Factory Reset Protection, abbreviated as FRP lock.

A similar security scheme has long been implemented by Apple in its products and has proven itself quite well. This is what will happen if you do (for example, when deleting a pattern or phone firmware). When you first start and check access to the wi-fi network, the phone will ask confirm account. A similar message will appear.

Of course, if you remember the necessary data (they are entered when purchasing the phone), login and password, there will be no problems. But how can you bypass Google account verification if you have forgotten all your personal data and there is no way to restore them via email, and the firmware does not help?

There are several ways to choose which one is right for you, I can’t say, since each phone manufacturer (Samsung, Micromax and others) produces models with their own individual features - different function keys and software.

• Reset system settings and remove DRM license without cable.

To do this, we need to get into the phone settings by bypassing the standard boot through the help system. Watch the video for step-by-step instructions using a Lenovo phone as an example.

• Soft reset via app.

Here the procedure is more complicated. To do this, we need an OTG cable with a program downloaded to a flash card, or simply reset the application (StartSettings.apk) on Micro SD and insert it into the device. More details in the video using the example of a ZTE phone.

• Other non-standard methods.

Due to the huge number of models, there is no single correct solution to this problem. For example, in this video, the author turned off the modem with Internet access during the test and was able to bypass the confirmation on the LG G4 phone.

The most complete list of all non-standard methods is presented.

I hope that with the help of our material you were able to unlink your phone from your Google account. If you have any questions, write them in the comments

Many of you leave your own options for bypassing the protection. We want to share one of them. This method was used on the Huawei MediaPad T3 7 tablet.

1- Charge the tablet 100%
2- Turn on, select the language, region and connect to Wi Fi, accepting the terms of use.
3- On the next page “Google Services”, click on the blue inscription “Google Privacy Policy” and in the window that appears, click and hold on any of the words so that an additional menu appears in which there is “Web Search”. Click on it and select Opera (namely opera, because in Chrome it may not be possible to open downloaded files).
4- Download Test+DPC. I had version 4 (as an option, use other programs quickshortcutmaker and Google Account Manager). I don’t know how anyone downloads it, but I went to my Yahoo mail, where in my incoming messages I sent myself the required file from another mail. Install and launch. Select the second item “set up device owner”, encrypt the device. Although in many videos I have seen they choose the first one. I haven't tried it personally. A reboot is in progress. Several times further, and then the DPC window pops up asking you to set up a profile. We accept the agreement. Customizable. Then some kind of sign will pop up endlessly (I don’t remember which one, I don’t have a tablet at hand anymore). Reboot.
5- By clicking next it should start (if the DPC menu pops up asking you to create a profile in English, select the lower value “skip”.
6- That's it, the tablet is running in normal mode. Go to settings and do a full reset. After turning on, we are happy with the unlocked device

They also ask in comments and private messages on Google. We have a separate article about this. Here we are discussing something a little different, namely possible ways to bypass confirmation.

Let's supplement the material with another video from a visitor. This method will be useful to all owners of Xiaomi phones, regardless of the model.
