The lock can only be disabled when your Google account is removed from the device. However, if you have bought a used smartphone from someone, it is going to be difficult for you to bypass FRP and do a factory reset so that you can start using it afresh. In this article, we will explain how to bypass FRP on your smartphone.
What is FRP? Can FRP Be Bypassed?
FRP or Factory Reset Protection is a security measure that every Android version after 5.1 offers to its smartphone and tablet users. A user factory resets his smartphone only when the user wants to delete all the data on the device and take it back to its original state when it was new with no data saved. The reason why Android comes with FRP lock is to prevent any thief from deleting user data and information by factory reset option. Because to factory reset a device, Google account credentials are required. If the credentials are not provided, the device stops functioning temporarily. So, the lock has been introduced to protect your device information and data when your device gets lost or stolen. Now the main question is that FRP can be bypassed or not if you forget your Google account credentials or you want to factory reset an old smartphone that you have bought from someone. Yes, it is possible and you will need a computer to bypass FRP on your smartphone device.
