Factory Reset Protection
When you sign in to a Google Account on your device,
Factory Reset Protection is turned on. Factory Reset
Protection (FRP) prevents other people from using
your device if it is reset to factory settings without
your permission. For example, if your device is lost
or stolen and a factory data reset is performed, only
someone with your Google Account username and
password can use the device.
You will not be able to access the device after
a factory data reset if you do not have your
Google Account username and password. For more
information, see
“Factory Data Reset” on page 175
.
Caution
: You should remove your Google Account
before shipping your device to Samsung or any other
service provider for service and before resetting the
device to factory settings.
