How to Remove FRP [Factory Reset Protection] in Samsung

In this guide, we will show you the steps to remove FRP from your Samsung device. First introduced all the way back with Android 5.0 Lollipop, Factory Reset Protection is a security mechanism that prevents unauthorized users from being able to reset their devices. So in case, your device gets lost or stolen, then the other user who has your phone wouldn’t be able to simply wipe your device and start using it.

The only way one could access the system is by entering the Google account ID and password that was previously used on this device. This stringent level of security makes sure that only the original device owner is able to unlock their device. But what if the rightful owner of the device forgets his/her account credentials? While you could request a password change, “it can take 24 hours for the password reset to sync with all devices registered to the account”.

And that is quite a lengthy time frame, especially if you are stuck in an emergency situation. So what is the alternate way out? Well, there exists a nifty method through which you could easily remove FRP from your Samsung device. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. So without further ado, let’s get started.
