Caution: If you reset your device to factory settings
with the FRP (Factory Reset Protocol) feature turned
on, you must enter the user name and password for
the last registered Google Account to regain access

Account verification prevents unauthorized users from
accessing or using your device if it has been reset to
factory settings without your permission (for example,
if your device is lost or stolen). You should remove
your Google Account before shipping your device to
Samsung or any other service provider for service and
before resetting the device to factory settings.

perform the reset.
Warning: This action permanently erases ALL data
from the device, including Google or other account
settings, system and application data and settings,
downloaded applications, as well as your music,
photos, videos, and other files.
