If your Samsung Galaxy A54 is stuck on the "Verify your account" screen after a factory reset, you're dealing with something called Factory Reset Protection (FRP). Don't worry, this is a pretty common problem, and it doesn't mean your phone is broken. In this guide, we'll explain exactly what FRP is, why it locked your Galaxy A54, and walk you through three methods to get your phone working again — from recovering your Google account to using an online tool that handles the whole process for you.
Is This Guide for You?
This guide is for you if any of these situations sound familiar:
- Your Samsung Galaxy A54 is stuck on the "Verify your account" screen after a factory reset and won't let you continue
- You bought a second-hand Galaxy A54 and the previous owner's Google account is still linked to it
- You forgot the email or password for the Google account that was on your phone
- You reset your Galaxy A54 through recovery mode (using the hardware buttons) and now it's asking for a Google account you can't access
If any of that sounds like your situation, you're in the right place. This happens to a lot of people, and there are ways to fix it.
Before You Start: What You'll Need
Before we get into the methods, make sure you have these ready so the process goes smoothly:
- A stable internet connection — Wi-Fi or mobile data on another device
- Your phone's IMEI number — you can find it by dialing *#06# on the Galaxy A54, or check the original box or receipt
- About 15–30 minutes — depending on which method you use
- Access to another device — any smartphone, tablet, or computer with a web browser
- Proof of purchase (optional) — only needed if you plan to visit a Samsung service center
What Is Factory Reset Protection and Why Is Your Samsung Galaxy A54 Locked?

Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is a security feature built into every Android device running Android 5.1 or higher, and Google introduced it back in 2015 to prevent stolen phones from being reused.
The way it works is pretty straightforward. The moment you add a Google account to your Samsung Galaxy A54, FRP turns on automatically in the background. There is no separate toggle or setting for it — it just activates. If someone then tries to factory reset your phone using an "untrusted" method (like recovery mode through the hardware buttons), FRP kicks in and locks the device on the next boot.
That means the phone will ask for the exact Google email and password that were last synced to it before the reset. If you can't provide those credentials, the phone stays stuck on the setup screen and basically can't be used for anything.
Good to know: FRP activates automatically the moment you add a Google account to your device. There is no separate toggle to turn it on or off. As long as a Google account is linked to your Samsung Galaxy A54, FRP is active.
This is actually a useful feature when it comes to theft. If someone steals your Galaxy A54 and tries to wipe it clean, they won't be able to use it because they don't know your Google credentials. However, FRP becomes a real problem when legitimate owners get locked out of their own devices, and that happens more often than you might think.
Samsung's Extra Security Layer on the Galaxy A54
On top of Google's FRP, Samsung adds its own layer of protection called the Samsung Account lock (also known as Reactivation Lock on older models). That means on a Samsung Galaxy A54, you might actually be dealing with two separate locks instead of one — the Google FRP lock and the Samsung Account lock. Both need to be removed for the phone to work normally.
For this guide, we're focusing on the Google FRP lock, which is the one most people encounter after a factory reset. If your phone is also asking for a Samsung Account, that's a separate issue that may require contacting Samsung support directly.
Why Does the FRP Lock Show Up on a Samsung Galaxy A54 After a Factory Reset?
The FRP lock only appears when a factory reset is done through an "untrusted" method — basically any reset that doesn't go through the phone's Settings menu.
| Reset Method | FRP Triggered? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Settings > General Management > Reset | No | The phone removes the Google account properly before wiping |
| Recovery mode (Power + Volume buttons) | Yes | The phone can't verify the owner, so FRP kicks in on the next boot |
| Remote wipe via Find My Device | Yes | FRP protects the device even after a remote wipe |
| Third-party wipe or ADB commands | Yes | Any non-Settings reset is considered "untrusted" by Google |
Here's a situation that happens a lot with Samsung Galaxy A54 phones. Someone buys a used A54 online or at a local marketplace. The previous owner did a factory reset through recovery mode to wipe their data before handing it over, but they forgot to remove their Google account from the Settings first. The buyer turns on the phone, starts the setup process, and the Google account verification screen shows up asking for a password they don't have. Now they need the previous owner's Google credentials to continue, and sometimes the previous owner is nowhere to be found.
This also happens to people who own the phone themselves but simply forgot their Google password. Maybe your Galaxy A54 was acting up and you decided to factory reset it through recovery mode, and now FRP is asking for credentials you can't remember. It's frustrating, but it's not your fault — this is just how the security system is designed to work.
Watch out: If you recently changed your Google password, you need to wait 24 to 72 hours before using the new password on the FRP screen. This is a sync period enforced by Google, and if you try to use the new password too soon, Google can lock down your entire account — which makes the situation even harder to resolve.
Can You Bypass FRP on a Samsung Galaxy A54 with Codes or APKs?
You might have seen videos or forum posts claiming there are special codes you can dial to bypass the FRP lock on your Galaxy A54. Those aren't really "unlock codes," though. They're sequences that try to access certain phone settings through the emergency dialer or accessibility shortcuts to work around the setup screen.
Some of these tricks used to work on older Android versions, but Google and Samsung have been patching these loopholes with every security update. On a Samsung Galaxy A54 running a recent version of Android, most of these methods simply don't work anymore. Even when one of them does work on a specific software version, it can take hours of trial and error with no way to guarantee it'll succeed on your device.
As for FRP bypass APK files you can download online, we really don't recommend using them. A lot of these APKs are outdated, and some of them come bundled with malware or viruses that can compromise your phone's security and your personal data. The risk simply isn't worth it when there are safer alternatives available to you.
3 Ways to Remove the FRP Lock from Your Samsung Galaxy A54

There are three main approaches you can take to deal with the FRP lock on your Samsung Galaxy A54, and we recommend trying them in this order.
Method 1: Recover Your Google Account (Try This First — 5 to 10 Minutes)
If the Google account that's linked to the phone is yours, the simplest solution is to recover it. Go to Google's account recovery page on another device (or even on the locked Galaxy A54 itself if you can access a browser through the setup screen) and try the "forgot password" option. Google will walk you through the recovery process using your recovery email, phone number, or security questions.
If you recently changed your password, keep in mind the 72-hour rule we mentioned earlier. Wait at least 72 hours before trying to use the new password on the FRP screen. Trying too soon can actually lock you out of your Google account entirely, and that's a problem you don't want to add on top of the FRP lock.
Method 2: Visit a Samsung Service Center (1 to 5 Days)
If you're the original owner of the Galaxy A54 and you have proof of purchase, you can take the phone to an authorized Samsung service center. Samsung's support team can remove the FRP lock for you if you can prove that you're the legitimate owner of the device. This process can take a few days depending on the center, but it's a fully official method.
Keep in mind that this option works best if you still have the original receipt or proof of purchase. If you bought the phone second-hand and don't have that documentation, Samsung might not be able to help you, which is understandable from their perspective — they need to verify ownership.
Method 3: Use FRPRemoval to Bypass the FRP Lock (15 to 30 Minutes)
If the first two methods didn't work for you — maybe you can't recover the Google account, or you bought the phone second-hand and the previous owner is unreachable — that's exactly the kind of situation FRPRemoval was built for. It's an online tool designed to help you remove the FRP lock from your Samsung Galaxy A54 without needing the original Google account credentials, a computer, or any technical knowledge.
The process is pretty straightforward. You provide some basic information about your device, and FRPRemoval handles the rest. We'll walk you through the exact steps in the next section, so you know what to expect before you start.
If the official methods didn't work and you want to get your Samsung Galaxy A54 unlocked quickly, FRPRemoval is here to help. The process works with all Samsung Galaxy models and doesn't require a PC or any technical knowledge.
Remove the FRP Lock on Your Galaxy A54How Does FRPRemoval Work to Bypass FRP on the Samsung Galaxy A54?
The process is simple, and you don't need any technical experience to get through it. Here's how it works, step by step.
- Go to the FRPRemoval website: Visit FRPRemoval and click on "Get Started." Select Samsung as your device brand.
- Enter your device details: You'll need to provide some basic information like your name, email address, device brand (Samsung), and your phone's IMEI number. You can find your IMEI by dialing *#06# on the Galaxy A54 or checking the original box.
- Complete the verification: The system will ask you to complete a quick verification step to confirm your request. This is straightforward and takes just a minute.
- Receive your temporary credentials: Once your request is processed, you'll receive a temporary dummy ID with login details that can bypass the Google account verification screen on your Galaxy A54.
- Enter the credentials on your locked phone: Follow the instructions provided to enter those temporary credentials on the FRP screen of your Samsung Galaxy A54. The device will accept them and let you through the setup process.
- Set up your phone with a new Google account: After the FRP lock is bypassed, the phone will continue with the standard setup. You can create a new Google account right there or sign in with your own. The FRP lock is gone, and the phone is yours to use.
That's it. The whole process usually takes just a few minutes once you have everything ready, and you'll have full access to your Samsung Galaxy A54 again. Rest assured that the steps are clear and you'll know what you're doing at all times.

Quick tip: You don't need a computer for this. You can complete the entire FRPRemoval process from any device that has a web browser — another smartphone, a tablet, or a Chromebook all work just fine.

Is It Safe to Use an FRP Bypass Tool on Your Samsung Galaxy A54?
This is a completely fair question, and the answer depends on which tool you choose to use. Not all FRP bypass tools are the same, and some of them can actually make your situation worse.
A lot of the free bypass tools you'll find online (especially APK files and programs from random websites) are outdated. The methods they rely on have already been patched by Google and Samsung in recent security updates, so they simply don't work on newer Galaxy A54 firmware. On top of that, some of these tools come with malware, adware, or other security risks that can compromise your personal information. The risk just isn't worth it.
With FRPRemoval, the approach is different. The process uses a temporary dummy ID to get past the Google account verification screen, which means there's no firmware flashing, no rooting, and no third-party APKs being installed on your phone. Your device's software stays exactly as it is, and you can set up a new Google account normally once the FRP lock is removed. We can assure you that all the information you provide is kept safe with us.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Trying to Bypass FRP on a Samsung Galaxy A54
If you're dealing with an FRP lock for the first time, it's easy to make mistakes that can actually make things worse. Here are the ones we see most often, so you can avoid them.
- Trying a recently changed password too soon: If you just reset your Google password, wait at least 72 hours before using it on the FRP screen. Trying too early can lock your entire Google account, which adds another problem on top of the FRP lock.
- Downloading random bypass APKs from the internet: Most of them are outdated and already patched. Some contain malware or viruses that can compromise your phone's security and still leave the FRP lock in place.
- Performing another factory reset through recovery mode: Resetting your Galaxy A54 again through recovery mode won't remove the FRP lock. It will just trigger FRP all over again. The lock persists until the Google account is properly removed.
- Entering incorrect credentials repeatedly: Too many failed attempts on the FRP screen can add additional cooldown periods and delays, making the whole process take even longer than it needs to.
- Using unknown websites that ask for payment upfront without explaining the process: Some sites charge money for "FRP bypass codes" that don't actually exist. If a service doesn't clearly explain how it works before asking for payment, be cautious.
What Happens After You Remove the FRP Lock from Your Galaxy A54?
Once the FRP lock is removed, your Samsung Galaxy A54 will continue to the normal setup screen — the same one you see when turning on a brand-new phone for the first time.
You'll be able to connect to Wi-Fi, sign in with your own Google account (or create a new one right there), and set up the phone exactly how you want it. All your apps, settings, and preferences will need to be configured from scratch since the factory reset wiped everything, but the phone itself will work perfectly fine. You can download your apps, restore your contacts from your Google account, and start using the Galaxy A54 normally.
Quick tip: After setting up your Galaxy A54 with a new account, write down your Google credentials and store them somewhere safe. If you ever need to factory reset the phone again in the future, do it through Settings > General Management > Reset > Factory Data Reset — this removes the Google account properly before wiping, which means FRP won't trigger at all.
If your device also shows a Samsung Account lock (separate from the Google FRP lock), you'll need to handle that through Samsung's support channels. The FRP removal process takes care of the Google account lock specifically, but the Samsung Account lock may require additional steps.

Start Your Unlock HereFrequently Asked Questions About FRP Bypass on the Samsung Galaxy A54
Can I remove the FRP lock on a Samsung Galaxy A54 without a computer?
Yes, you absolutely can. FRPRemoval is an online service, which means you don't need to download any programs or connect your Galaxy A54 to a PC. You can complete the entire process from any device with a web browser and an internet connection — another phone, a tablet, or a Chromebook all work just fine.
What is the 72-hour rule for Samsung FRP?
If you recently changed or reset your Google account password, you need to wait between 24 and 72 hours before using the new password to get past the FRP lock on your Samsung device. This is a sync period that Google enforces. If you try to use the new password before the waiting period is over, Google can lock down your entire account, which makes things even harder to resolve.
Does FRP bypass work on all Samsung Galaxy A series phones?
Yes. Factory Reset Protection is a standard Android feature present on all devices running Android 5.1 and above. That includes the entire Samsung Galaxy A series — the A54, A34, A14, A55, A35, A25, and every other model. FRPRemoval is designed to work across all of these devices, as well as the Galaxy S series, Galaxy Z series, and Galaxy M series.
What if I bought a second-hand Galaxy A54 and it has an FRP lock?
This is actually one of the most common reasons people deal with FRP locks. If the previous owner forgot to remove their Google account before selling or giving away the phone, the FRP lock will activate after a factory reset. Your best option is to contact the previous owner and ask them to remove their account remotely through Google's Find My Device. If that's not possible, FRPRemoval can help you remove the lock without needing the original account credentials.
Will removing the FRP lock erase my data?
No. The FRP lock only appears after a factory reset has already been performed, which means your data was already erased during the reset itself. Removing the FRP lock doesn't erase anything additional — it simply allows you to get past the Google account verification screen and set up the phone as if it were new.
Is FRP the same thing as a carrier lock or SIM lock?
No, these are completely different things. A carrier lock (or SIM lock) restricts which mobile networks your phone can connect to, and it's set by the carrier you bought the phone from. FRP is a Google security feature that locks the phone to a specific Google account after a factory reset. Removing FRP doesn't affect your carrier lock status, and removing a carrier lock doesn't affect FRP. They're two separate systems.
Get Your Samsung Galaxy A54 Working Again
