When you get a second-hand smartphone, there’s always the possibility that the previous owner had forgotten to remove their Google account from the device before handing it over. 

In such cases, the device will ask you to enter the Google password of the previously-associated Google account during the setup process. And this is usually persistent even after you have factory reset the device, and there’s no way for the user to bypass this step.

This mechanism, found on devices running Android 5.1 or higher, is a security feature called Google Factory Reset Protection (FRP). As the name suggests, it was designed to prevent unauthorized people from using devices that didn’t belong to them.

But mistakes may happen, and you may legitimately have a device that was someone else’s before. In this article, we’ll explore how to bypass Google FRP and unlock Samsung devices without the password using a Windows-based third-party tool named Foneazy Unlockit.
