What is Factory Reset Protection (FRP) on Google Android devices and what does it do?
Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is a security feature on Google Android devices designed to prevent unauthorized use of your device if it is lost, stolen, or wiped. FRP ensures that only someone with your Google account or screen lock information can use the device. In concept, this is a great idea and should deter criminals from using your phone after they steal it and may even prevent them from stealing your device in the first place.
Problems with this new built-in feature in Android 5.1 Lollipop and above:
- You forget your own password or Google account information.
- You buy a used phone online, and the previous owner didn’t wipe the device correctly, leaving you unable to use it because of FRP.
- Your child plays with your phone and accidentally activates the FRP screen.
- You are older, and the person at the carrier store who set up your phone didn’t provide you with your Google account information. Note: I have seen this happen.
There can be many legitimate reasons you may need to bypass FRP on your device so that you can use it again. Unless someone shows you how to bypass FRP, you don’t have many options to get your device working again, unless you can get the OEM to repair it for you, which isn’t likely unless the device is new.
FRP should be a feature that is turned on by the owner and only with many, many warnings that must be read before the device owner can activate it to protect them from these issues. Google, please correct this and make FRP optional.
Note: FRP is activated once you add your Google account to the device and set up a screen lock.
Knowing about all these problems, I have been working on some solutions for those of you with devices you just can’t use. Enjoy.

My Galaxy S7 Edge wouldn’t let me share. I got as far as the sharing part in your video for the Galaxy S7 but my phone doesn’t have any apps for sharing…
i don’t remember clearly how i got to this screen but after getting the google bypass it got me on a screen saying “checking network…”, “adding a new finishing touches. This may take a minute or two.” I took it upon myself trying to fix it, and i believe it’s google play services was disabled. Just not sure how to enable even on FRP. Hope you can help. Thank You!

Need help. Watched a few of the video’s and didn’t see the right steps for a Pixel C tablet c1502w with Android 6.0.1 on it.
I remember doing this a few weeks ago and saw a settings icon and couldn’t get developer mode to turn on so I can get command line access to re-install the firmware. Really want to get this device working again. Direction as to which video would help would be great of if there are different instructions please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Do you have a way to bypass for a HTC m9?? Bought it on eBay and previous owner didn’t delete their account and now I’m stuck.
Hi, I have a BLU Dash X which was working fine until my 14 year old went and added a google account to it. Now he’s on holidays away from home and says he cant remember the google account he created. Of course I tried resetting the phone and now am stuck at the Google lock. Can you offer a solution to bypass this on this phone? Thanks.
