Factory Reset Protection
When you sign in to a Google Account on your device,
Factory Reset Protection is turned on. Factory Reset
Protection (FRP) prevents other people from using
your device if it is reset to factory settings without your
permission. For example, if your device is lost or stolen
and a factory data reset is performed, only someone
with your Google Account username and password can
use the device.
You will not be able to access the device after a factory
data reset if you do not have your Google Account
username and password. For more information, see
“Factory Data Reset” on page 138
Caution

or taking it to your nearest Samsung‑authorized service
center, you should remove your Google Account before
resetting the device back to factory settings. For more
