After resetting your smartphone using Hard Reset, the next time you turn on the phone, you will be required to enter your Google account credentials. This is exactly how the situation was described to me by a user who brought me a phone with a request to confirm an account that was previously synchronized with a smartphone.
In general, this is something similar to Apply ID, which has long been used in devices manufactured by Apple. Since many have complained that Android data are not protected at all, and you can hack any password on your phone with a regular hard reset, Google decided to improve several aspects of this protection.
As a result, starting from the series Android firmware 5.1.1, hard binding to your Google account has begun. That is, even after resetting the settings, you will not be able to fully use your smartphone until you enter the credentials of the account that was linked to it when you first turned on the device.
Of course, the user who contacted me had no idea about such protection and calmly reset the settings without any second thoughts. Of course the data account no one remembers, since it was created in a hurry just to have access to the Play Market.
So, after another such smartphone, I decided to share my experience and show how I managed to bypass the protection with Google account confirmation after resetting the settings (Hard Reset).
Resetting your smartphone to its factory state through phone settings
Very often a simple reset directly from standard menu settings. This is explained by the fact that the settings are reset directly from the phone and the security system recognizes this as if the user did it himself, and accordingly does not request Google account verification (FRP).
Of course, the most difficult thing we have to do is get into that very settings menu, but we’ll still try to do it. I tested this method on Android 6.0 and 6.0.1.
Bypass Google account verification (FRP) after reset using QuickShortcutMaker
If you have not become the happy owner of a device that was helped by the first method, then most likely you will have to turn to third party applications, which will help us remove the binding Google account.
One such application would be QuickShortcutMaker. By the way, I would say that this method helps 80% of cases that are associated with FRP. So I recommend using it first.
You can see a visual implementation of points 10 to 17 in this video, starting at 5:30 minutes:
Important information for those who have " Google Accounts“There will be no option to enter your login and password. In order for it to appear, you will have to additionally, in addition to QuickShortcutMaker, install the Google Account Manager patch. After this, the desired item should be displayed without problems in the list of Google accounts.
Third option to bypass Google FRP using Test DPC
The third option is also to install and use additional programs, this time it's " Test DPC" If the previous method did not help you, then you should definitely try this option.
A clear example of execution this method, look at the video:
It was precisely these images that I personally managed to bypass the protection with Google confirmation account after resetting the settings on Android. If none of the described methods work for you, don’t worry, it happens.
There are many different options for bypassing this protection, you just need to find it on our website or on some forum. Where users could share the option that is right for you.
There is also a theory that by turning off the phone and putting it on a shelf for about 72 hours, the binding disappeared on its own and the smartphone turned on the next time as if it had just been taken out of the box.
Bypass Google account verification (FRP) after resetting your smartphone (Hard Reset)
Everyone who has mobile device operating room based Android systems know that to fully use the device you must have a Google account. You will not enter the store without your account. Google Play, as well as a number of other applications where it is needed. After performing a factory reset, you may see a message like this: “The device has been restored to its default settings. To continue, sign in to your Google Account.". You have no choice but to enter the data to continue operating the device. But what if for some reason you forgot your password or login? We will figure out what to do in this situation later in the article.
Account verification screen on Android deviceStep 1. Reset data through smartphone settings
First, let's try a simple method before logging into your Google account - turn off the Internet. When the account verification on your phone begins, turn off Internet access, turn off the Wi-Fi module, and also remove the SIM card from the device. In some models, you can avoid account verification.
If this method did not help you solve “The device has been restored to its default settings,” you need to go to the settings of your smartphone and perform a reset or restore from there. This can be done in several ways, because... login processes different models is done in different ways. But the most effective will be:
Step 2. Remove DRM licenses in the smartphone settings
Another way to resolve “The device has been restored to its default settings. To continue, sign in to your Google Account" will remove DRM licenses, which is the same as deleting your account. To do this, you need to get to the settings of your smartphone. For this:
You can watch the video to better understand the material:
Step 3: Delete Google Account Using Development Settings
It is not always possible to use the previous method to open the settings on a smartphone, so you can use the following method - using the Development Settings program. If anyone thinks that they can help remove the message “Sign in to your Google account to continue” by flashing the phone, then this is not so. Firmware won't help here either. In order to use the program, we need an OTG cable and a flash drive with the unzipped program.
OTG cable - Next, turn off the phone.
- We connect the OTG cable to the appropriate connector.
- Now you need to reset the device using the keys. Each device has its own. Find the combination of buttons to reset to your device in the instructions for your phone or on the Internet.
- Select "Data factory reset" and turn on the phone.
- Next, confirm the installation of the program, and then open it.
- A window with phone settings will open, where we should find the “Reset to factory settings” item.
- When the recovery process begins, you can disconnect the cable from the flash drive.
Step 4. Delete your Google account using Quickshortcutmaker
In case you have the opportunity to get into settings through applications:
Perhaps all the methods described above did not help in your case. If you have saved your Google account login details, all you have to do is enter them in the appropriate forms and confirm. The first line usually requires you to enter your email, followed by your password and login.
If none of the methods solved your problem after restoring the default settings, then the message “The device has been restored to its default settings. To continue, sign in to your Google account" can be solved by accessing Google Account Recovery from a regular browser, even without a phone.
