We warn you right away: some methods require technical skills (working with ADB, Fastboot or specialized utilities). If you are not sure, you should contact the service center.

Why Xiaomi requires a Google account after a reset

FRP (Factory Reset Protection) is the theft protection introduced by Google in Android 5.1 Lollipop. If you reset Xiaomi to factory settings via Recovery or Settings → Reset, the phone will require you to enter a login and password from the last Google account tied, which applies to all modern models, from Redmi 10 to Xiaomi 13 Ultra.

• 🔄 Reset via Recovery – even if you don’t remember the lock screen password, FRP work out.
• 📱 Deleting your Google account without detachment from your device – for example, through settings MIUI.
• 🔧 Updating firmware with errors – sometimes leads to resetting security settings.
• 🚨 Buying a used phone – the previous owner did not untie his account.

On devices with MIUI 12 and later, an additional check is added, Mi Account. If the phone requests both Google and Mi Account, unlocking becomes more difficult, in which case official proof of ownership through Xiaomi may be required.

• 🔑 Try resetting your password through Google Account Recovery.
• 📶 Make sure your phone is connected to the internet (sometimes switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data helps).
• ⏳ Wait 24-72 hours – Google may temporarily block login attempts after multiple failures.
