Factory Data Reset

Return your device to its factory defaults.
Factory Reset Protocol
Adding a Google account to your device automatically enables the Factory Reset Protocol (FRP) security
feature.
FRP prevents other people from using your device if it is reset to factory settings without your permission.
For example, if your device is lost or stolen, only someone with your Google account can perform a
factory data reset and use the device.
When a device is factory reset, the device will not be able to be setup without the user entering the
Google Account associated with the device.
Caution: 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.
To reset your device to its factory defaults:
1. From home, tap Apps
2. Tap Backup and Reset
Settings
> Settings .
> Factory data reset.
