There was an option in Galaxy S6 to unlock the device via the Google Account associated with the device. Seems like Samsung removed that option from Galaxy S7. Now that I'm locked out of the device with no network connections turned ON. Resetting is the only option I guess, which I really don't want to do. I can prove that I'm the owner to Samsung. Is there any other way to reset PIN without resetting the device? Please somebody help :crying:

Okay so I found this Samsung Galaxy S2x on the ground. However it had a pattern lock screen so there was no way I could have gone into the phone to get info on how to return the phone to the owner. They went and disabled their sim card, so now I am left with a perfectly good GS2! BUT it's locked. How do I bypass the lock on the phone? I have looked at several methods, however they include knowing the google account info which I obviously don't know... I thought about rooting the phone, but usb debugging is not on, so I can't put superuser on the phone's internal memory. Is this a problem? Otherwise, is there a way to factory reset the phone completely?
HELP! I would love to put this awesome phone to use!
I hope someone can help me
Long ago I changed my Galaxy S6 by, an S8.
And I left the Galaxy S6 in a drawer ...
However, over the weekend I lost my S8
and on going to get the S6 it was with secure startup enabled. But I've tried all the passwords that I remembered, and it's none of them.
Is there any way I can turn my phone on without remembering the password?
Or you can go to any screen where you enter google email and password?
a stock rom maybe ...
Did I lose my cell phone?
I thank you
sorry for the lousy english

your phone's bootloader unlocked ?
Device: G920P
Binary: Samsung Official
Unable to bypass FRP, and I have attempted flashing every stock firmware via every Odin release from 3.10 to the most current update, to include a rather desperate shot in the dark where I checked the nand erased, efs, and bootloader options, all to no avail.
To assuage any misgivings, I am quite well aware of the moral quandaries associated with this sort of issue. As it happens, I share them. This phone was found in a friend's storage locker, among her (admittedly shady) ex-husband's effects. I have checked the IMEI status (clear,) and made repeated attempts to contact the current owner of the phone number I found on the SIM card. Nothing. So, I am at a loss for what to do next.

Sell it on ebay "for parts or repair, wont turn on, good LCD".
P.S. "FRP" means reactivation lock, right? Samsung account? Or Google account?
FRP is an acronym for "Factory Reset Protection," and I've only ever encountered it with Google accounts. Samsung claims to have the ability to bypass it on their support page, but I'm taking this as a challenge.

Ok, then it's simpler.
Google for the "frp via adb" and read, find and flash a combination rom for your device and do the job.
Not a bad challenge. You'll have some fun.
But I've had much more when disabling reactivation lock (Samsung account) on SM-G920V bought on ebay
Hellow, I am the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S6 I think its Europe version because I bought it in spain.
In march 2020 I had decided to factory resset my phone because I had a lot of junk. To my surprise when the Welcome screen for a setup showed up and I was trying to set it up (I did this probably once a year) a message of "The phone was factory resseted on a anormal way please sign in to your samsung account to unlock the device". Keep in mind here in spain we were in a complete lock down. I did put my email and password it showed 2 messages and noething happned, and I know its not the wrong password because if i did type a random thing it will show "Wrong ID" so I tried contacting samsung but as we were on a lockdown it was imposible, I tried from find my phone (samsung version) and I clickcked on unlock phone (while the phone was connected to the inernet) but noething happned as a last resource I tried flashing a custom rom (I had Samsung Official Rom) but when I go to oddin mode or download mode it shows: Reactivation Lock: ON.
Is there any way to unlock it, my mothers phone is broken and she is in need of one.
I have attached some imagenes.
I hope I can find a fix, because the most anoing thins is that is supposed to be a mecanisim so if the phone gets stolen, but i have been the owner of it for 5 years
for starters, try the methods explained here

i think that there are a couple more options if those are without success, but i'd have to research that a bit more at that point
Hi XDA peoples. I come to you in times of great need, and to satisfy your curiosity.
Recently, my mother enabled biometrics on her discover banking app, specifically face ID. However, this enabled face unlock on the entire phone and, in doing so, set a password for the phone. Note, there was no password or any other authentication on this phone before - completely open device. Now she is completely locked out of the device due to the default security settings requiring a password every 4 hours. Remote unlock is disabled, so there is no hope of that working.
Now, my question is this: is there a password that the device would automatically apply if needed? And if so, does anybody know what it is?
Thanks.
Device is a T-mobile S21+, 8G RAM 128GB Storage.
I appreciate all help.
