How to Turn Android Factory Reset Protection (FRP) On or Off

Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure you’ve taken care of these things:

• Back up your data: Resetting or making changes can wipe your personal info.
• Remove all Google accounts: This is necessary to disable FRP.
• Device compatibility: These steps work on most Android devices with version 5.0 or higher, including brands like Samsung, Google Pixel, Motorola, and Sony Xperia.

Disable FRP by Removing Google Account

This is the simplest way to turn off FRP—just remove your Google account from your phone. This ensures your device won’t ask for a Google login after it’s been reset.

1. Open Settings: Start by going to the Settings app on your Android phone.
2. Find Accounts: Scroll down and tap Accounts or Accounts & Sync depending on your phone model.
3. Remove Your Google Account: Tap on Google, select your account, then tap the three-dot menu and choose Remove Account. Confirm your choice.
4. Factory Reset the Phone: After removing the account, go to Settings > System > Reset options > Erase all data (factory reset). Confirm the reset.

Once this is done, FRP will be disabled, and your device won’t ask for the previous Google account after a reset.
