How to remove a Google Account Lock
What is a Google lock ?
Factory Reset Protection (FRP), is a security feature on Android devices with Android OS Version 5.1 (Lollipop) and higher. The FRP provides a built-in security feature you are able to use that protects your device and information, including screen locks and data encryptions. The FRP is enabled automatically when a Google account has been registered on the device
Android devices have a security feature that is enabled when you log into your Google account to access their services. It is to safeguard your data and has a wealth of features from data backup to providing security for you.
Sometimes people forget their Google account password and factory reset the phone thinking this will allow them to start again, or pass it onto another user. However the Google lock remains. Normally you would go through the phone setup process – get to the Google Account sign in where it will say this phone has been reset and the password/previous pin for the phone needs to be entered to unlock and that’s where people come unstuck.
It is also common for people to not only have forgotten their pin number but the password too. In this case the only way to help customers is to find ways of bypassing the security, something we are not really intended to do. But we can. We have learnt to do this to help our customers regain use of their device.
The good news is that most customers can then reset their Google account and recover their data from their Google backup. This includes Whatsapp messages backed up in Google.

Please Note: After removing the Google account access online you will need to perform the reset from the settings of the phone. On some model phones, a hardware reset will request the Google account information during setup.
72 Hour Google Lock: If a Google password is changed and the device is immediately factory reset, a message will appear after a restart which says: “please sign in using one of the owners accounts for this device” This indicates the google account on the phone is now locked for 72 hours and you must wait for it to reset. This mostly commonly affects Samsung devices.
