Factory Reset Protection

When you sign in to a Google Account on your device, Factory Reset
Protection is turned on. Factory Reset Protection (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
and a factory data reset is performed, only someone with your
Google Account username and password can use the device.
You will not be able to access the device after a factory data reset if
you do not have your Google Account username and password. For
more information, see "Factory Data Reset" on page 227.
