Android has an anti-theft measure called Factory Reset Protection (FRP). That means even after wiping your Android phone, you’ll still need the last Google account login to set it up again. It should only work if you use recovery menu to wipe your phone, but here’s how to turn off FRP. Delete your Google account (we recommend deleting all your accounts at once). You can do this in Setting By typing Passwords and Accounts. Select each one in turn and tap Delete account.
You can now wipe your Android phone, but the process is a little different depending on your phone’s manufacturer. On a Google Pixelsfor example, go to Settings > System > Reset options > Erase all data (factory reset) > Erase all data (you will need to enter your PIN). On a SamsungGalaxy S23go Settings > General Management > Resetand choose Factory data reset. Scroll to the bottom and tap ResetLater Remove all (you may need to enter your Samsung account details).
