Factory Reset Protection
When you sign in to a Google Account on your device, Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is
activated. 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.
CAUTION
Before sending your device to Samsung or taking it to a Samsung-
authorized service center, remove your Google Account and then perform a
factory data reset. For more information, visit
