How to Access Your Phone After a Factory Reset with FRP

How to Access Your Phone After a Factory Reset with FRP

When your phone displays the message “This device was reset to continue sign in with a Google account previously synced,” it signifies that the phone has undergone a factory reset and is now activating Factory Reset Protection (FRP). This security feature is designed to prevent unauthorized access to a device after a reset. Here’s how to regain access to your device:

Sign In with the Previous Google Account

The easiest way to regain access is by signing in with the Google account that was previously synced on the device. Follow these steps:

Enter the email address and password associated with the Google account. If you can recall these credentials, you should be able to sign in successfully.

Recover Your Google Account

If you do not remember the account details, you can try to recover your Google account:

Go to the Google Account Recovery page. Follow the prompts to recover your email or password.

Check for Multiple Accounts

Double-check to ensure that you're signing in with the correct Google account that was used before the reset. If you have multiple accounts, make sure you’re using the one that was synced on your device.

Contact the Previous Owner

If you have purchased the phone second-hand and do not have the previous owner’s contact information, the best step is to contact the previous owner:

Request the previous owner to remove the device from their Google account.

Visit a Service Center

If you are unable to access the device using the above methods, you can visit an authorized service center or contact the manufacturer’s customer support for assistance:

Service centers can have additional methods to verify ownership and help you regain access to the device.

Use Recovery Tools (Not Recommended)

Some third-party tools claim to bypass FRP, but these methods are risky and may void your warranty or violate terms of service. Use them at your own risk and be aware of potential legal issues:

These tools can also be illegal, so proceed with caution. Avoid using such tools unless all other options have failed.

Important Notes:

Always ensure that you have access to your Google account credentials before performing a factory reset. This will prevent such situations from arising. When buying a used device, make sure it is a factory reset and not locked to a previous owner's Google account. If you still cannot access your device after following these steps, you may need to seek professional help.

By following these steps, you can regain control of your phone and continue using it smoothly. Always prioritize security and ensure that you have your credentials on hand in case of a factory reset.
