Android Factory Reset Protection is a new security feature to protect your device/android smartphone from unauthorized access peradventure you misplace your device or it got stolen. Prior to the addition of this feature, you can have free access to your device when you reset your smartphone due to reasons best known to you, as of today, this has been made impossible by the FRP lock i.e. once you reset your smartphone, you will need to login with the Gmail account that was previously synchronized with the smartphone. This security feature which was intentionally meant to prevent phone thieves from accessing your personal files when they make an hard reset has also been affecting the phone owners. What i mean is, there are times when you forget your device pattern combination,password or pin, in times like this when there is nothing you can do other than make a hard reset(a reset that will restore your device to the factory settings), making a hard reset is easy but the welcome screen after the reset is what will make you frustrated. You will be required to login with the google account whose password combination you've forgotten, this feature is only available on Android 5.1 Lollipop and higher versions. In this tutorial, I will teach you the simplest/easiest way to bypass FRP lock on any Samsung device.

Method 1

This is an old method that works on older Samsung devices i.e. those that were released into the mobile market 5-6 years ago. The requirements for this includes;

*OTG Cable.
*Memory Card.
*Settings.apk - Download here.

How to remove FRP lock through settings.apk

This doesnt require much effort, all you have to do is follow the steps below carefully.

*Place the downloaded settings.apk at the root folder of your memory card i.e. do not put in any folder at all.
*Start the affected smartphone.
*Once you get to the FRP lock screen, connect your OTG cable.
*From there the files on the memory card should pop up i.e. you will have access to the files on the memory card.
*Click on the settings.apk that you downloaded.
*It will take you to the phones default settings.
*From there, navigate to backup and reset.
*Reset your smartphone from there.
*Once your phone boots up, the FRP lock screen should have been bypassed.

The above method pretty much works but due to the update in Goolge's security patch, it doesn't work on all devices and that's why I have researched on another means by which you can bypass the lock yourself without paying for your phone repairer's pepper soup session.

Method 2

*Samsung SideSync for PC - Download here.
*Quickshortcutmaker.apk - Download here.
*A PC with internet connection.
*A wifi hotspot source.
*A good USB chord.
*A little patience.

Now to the main tutorial, kindly follow the steps below carefully in order to bypass the FRP lock all by yourself.

*Boot up the affected smartphone.
*Connect it to the available wifi hotspot.
*Install the downloaded Side Sync on your PC.
*Run Samsung Side Sync on your Pc.
