The Android operating system is a smart system that has many useful functions, but sometimes they bring not only benefits, but also puts phone owners in an uncomfortable position.
For example, this concerns the need to verify your account. This can happen due to the fact that the OS has an anti-theft feature in the form.
It turns out that even if your phone was not lost anywhere, and even more so it was not stolen, you can still accidentally make it so that it is blocked and without a login and password from your Google account it will not be possible to unlock it. This lock is called Google Factory Reset Protection or FRP lock.
Why does this happen?
After the owner of the phone has made a hard reset or the "smart" smartphone requires confirmation google account to android after reset. This happens as soon as he connects to the Internet.
If the owner remembers his username and password from the account, then no problems can arise. And if you do not remember either one or the other, then this is already a problem.
Solution options
The first option is to recover your username and password. To do this, click on "Forgot your username", then there will be a line for the phone number, and in the same place enter your first and last name.
Everything is very simple and easy, but only if you indicated a real surname, and not a pseudo. Or there could be a situation that you were registered by a neighbor who does not remember at all what he wrote there. In this case, there are also a couple of options for solving the problem:
- Press the language selection on the keyboard, go to its settings, and from there go to system settings and delete your google account.
- Connect an external flash drive with the StartSettings.apk program, then launch it and set the settings.
- Where the phone asks to enter a name, hold @, this will call the settings, then click on the keyboard, then back, then on the leftmost button on the panel, after which the search window will pop up. There we again select the settings, go to the "Restore and reset" category, then "Reset settings" and "Reset device settings".
- You can also start checking your account at the same time, and at the same time turn off your router, but it's not a fact that this method will help you.
Deleting an account on a smartphone
If you still failed to restore access to your account, then there is no other way out but to delete it. To do this, you need to enter the settings of the smartphone, then into accounts, select Google, hold your finger on the account and the settings will be displayed to you. After that, click on deleting your account.

An ordinary user of a phone with Android versions 5.1 and higher often does not know what to do if he has forgotten the data from his account, and after full reset settings, the smartphone with the new protective function Device Protection begins to require you to confirm your Google account and does not allow you to log in. We will describe several ways to solve this problem, which is relevant for modern Google devices.
There is no password for the account in the device with Android
If the owner of the device has forgotten the Google password associated with the gadget, recovery can be done in the same way as for regular Gmail email. To do this, the easiest way is to contact Google service Account Recovery, which will help you recover information step by step:
The user, of course, has not forgotten that the device is inoperable. Therefore, you can use two options:
- remove the SIM card and install it on another device to receive a confirmation code from Google;
- refuse this by indicating that you cannot use the device.
In the latter case, if you specified a backup mailbox during registration, an email will be sent to it with a link to the password reset page. There you can set up a new account and log into your account on your android phone.
If you did not provide any data for recovery
Sometimes, when registering, users do not specify any backup mailing address, no phone. Then resetting the password, which the owner of the device has forgotten, will be more difficult to do - you will have to answer a lot of leading questions:
- first you will need to specify the mail for communication;
- the last password from your Google account that you can remember at least approximately;
- approximate dates of creation and last visit;
- frequently used mailbox addresses;
- other Google apps you use - calendar, mail, etc., and the dates you started using them.
Next, it remains to send your answers to the service that restores Google access, after which you will either see a record about the successful confirmation of your account ownership and a proposal to change the password for Android, or you will be sent to the specified mail for communication additional instructions to provide access.
You do not remember your username
If it was you who filled out your profile when buying a new phone, then for sure for your own mailbox you are using the same name. You can also remember it in Google Account Recovery. For this:
After filling in the captcha, you can send a message. If the data is entered correctly, the recovery should complete without problems.
How to bypass account verification
But usually the owner of the device, if the device was configured in a store, does not remember not only the electronic Gmail mail, but also does not have any information to restore this data, as a result of which devices with Android 5.1 and higher remain locked. Fortunately, the creators of the OS have not managed to fix all the "holes" yet.
These devices, after performing a factory reset and even after flashing, are inoperable until the owner confirms the account.
What to do if it is impossible to perform the data verification procedure, we will describe below. In general, you can "cure" a gadget using the settings menu, although sometimes you don't get there right away. Let's describe a couple of ways to bypass the blocking.
Method one
After execution Hard reset and the account verification window appears, do the following:
After going to the menu for changing the parameters, you will need to reset the settings using the standard method:
- go to the recovery and reset parameters section;
- in the "Reset settings" folder, activate the appropriate command for your device.
Your current Google account will be deleted, and then start making new settings for your gadget.
Second way
If a confirmation window appears:
When you create a Google Account, an email will be sent to the email address you provided when you created it. with confirmation link... Click on this link to confirm that the address belongs to you. Otherwise, some of Google's services and functions will be unavailable.
To make sure that your Account has been verified, sign in to your Google Accounts home page. If it has not been verified, you will see a message asking for account confirmation.
Login with OpenID
If you enter your Yahoo! email address when creating your Google Account, you can verify it by signing in to Yahoo! using your email address and password. This reliable and secure verification is possible because Google and yahoo.com support the OpenID protocol. It works on some sites and allows you to verify the identity of the user.
How to check an account via OpenID:
- Create a Google Account using your Yahoo! (which ends with yahoo.com, ymail.com, or rocketmail.com).
- On the next page, click Check the address by registering with the provider yahoo.com.
- You will see a Yahoo! login window. Enter your Yahoo! email address and password, then click the Sign In button.
- You will see a window asking if you want to allow www.google.com to use your Yahoo! and reading your data from this site. If so, click I Agree.
- Ready. On verified Google user account, you can use various services and functions.
Before submitting your username and password to any site, always check its address in the address bar to make sure you can trust it.
Google never asks for username and password by e-mail... Never provide personal information (for example, login information, bank details or number credit card) to e-mail.
