How to Remove FRP Lock on Any Samsung Smartphone

FRP or Factory Reset Protection is an incredibly powerful security feature. However, it can get quite frustrating when you never intended to use this feature or when it becomes a hindrance.

FRP prevents access to an Android device after a factory reset until the login credentials of the associated Google account are entered. This is very inconvenient when you forget your account details or password or both.

Without a password or other account credentials, you cannot use your phone. Users have also reported that they’ve been unable to use their second-hand phones because of FRP. Purchased second-hand phones often have previous users’ Google Accounts logged in.

Whichever the case may be, the hindrance is equally frustrating. Is there any way you can bypass the account verification screen and gain access to the device?

The answer is YES!

FRP locks can be removed on Android Samsung devices using DroidKit. It is a fantastic application for bypassing the account verification screen after a factory reset and removing the FRP lock along with the associated account.
