The presence of an additional account in one device is not uncommon among users, since the second account offers an additional 15 GB of cloudy space in Google Drive, re-connect a temporary license for the previously used application, or to share with multiple users.

Many owners of modern androids complain about problems with the activation of the account after the "hard discharge" or flashing. So, the phone writes that "Default settings are restored on the device." And if you try to enter the password, then get a notification "Failed to enter the account due to an unknown error. Repeat an attempt after 24 hours. " In most cases, this applies to the model where the Android Lollipop operator is installed and higher. Today we will tell you what to do in this case and how to quickly bypass blocking.

Cause of an unknown error

The reason for the message is used in the latest versions of the Android function "Google FRP Lock". This is the mechanism of protection, designed to secure the owner's data and the phone itself from the depths of theft. Thus, the smartphone remains protected even if completely resetting all settings. After reset or firmware, you must specify the account tied earlier and enter the password from it. According to developers, such a mechanism does not allow attackers to obtain the owner's data after returning to its original state.

Since hard discharge is often made before and after selling a used phone, the problem remains relevant. Representatives of Google declare that FRP-lock is valid for up to three days from the moment of inclusion, but, alas, it does not always turn off after the period expiration.

Despite the improvement of the protective system, the blocker is already morally outdated and experienced users will bypass it without any problems. As practice shows - the greatest difficulties around the protection arise from the owners of the device.

How to prevent blocking in the future

As a rule, for the first time, the problem will be recognized when blocking has already occurred. Nevertheless, you need to know how to avoid blocking, so as not to step on the rake twice.

First, if you made a hard reset on your phone, it is not recommended to change the password for the account. Many after incorrect input, immediately rush to the browser, where they change the password from the account. This will lead to the fact that the blocking will turn on almost 100% probability.
Secondly, to avoid blocking, it is necessary before performing a reset to always untie the Google account, which is in the settings menu.

Go around FRP-Lock

If you do not have time to wait for three days or you do not want to give decent money for unlocking in the service center, you can try to independently disable the phone binding, that is, delete Google account with android.

What you need to do:

First of all, we need to access the "Settings" menu.
In the Safety menu, disable all activated functions.
In the "Restore and Reset" menu, reset DRM licenses.
In the same menu, perform "Reset Settings".
Wait for execution.

So, now it is known what and where to do, but how to get into the "Settings" menu on the locked phone? The use of custom firmware, Lancheries, as well as the shell supplied to the main operating system strongly change the functionality of the device. Next will be considered standard options, but they work not on all models.
