How to delete Google account from Xiaomi phone after reset: a step-by-step action plan

When a device requests a password from a previously synchronized Google account after completely resetting its settings on a Xiaomi or Redmi smartphone, it is a standard security measure known as FRP (Factory Reset Protection), which is designed to protect the owner’s personal data in the event of theft or loss of a gadget. However, users often forget the login details or purchase the device from hand without checking its purity, which leads to an urgent need to solve the lock problem.

It is important to understand that it is not possible to simply bypass this protection with standard methods if you do not remember your login and password. The process of deleting an account requires sequential actions aimed either at restoring access or bypassing verification through system vulnerabilities or special applications. In this article, we will discuss in detail all the available ways to solve this problem for current versions of the MIUI and HyperOS shell.

Critically, if you are the legal owner of a device but don't remember the data, restoring access through an official Google form is the most reliable way. Attempting to hack someone else's device is illegal. Next, we'll look at the technical aspects of unlocking relevant to today's smartphones of the Chinese brand.

Understanding the FRP protection mechanism on Xiaomi

Factory Reset Protection is integrated directly into the Android operating system and is tightly linked to a Google account. When a user resets through the Recovery menu, the system marks the current account as the main one. After rebooting and connecting to Wi-Fi, Google servers are checked IMEI-device code and require proof of ownership.

On Xiaomi devices, the situation is complicated by the presence of dual protection: in addition to Google FRP, Mi Account is often active. If a Mi Account password was entered during a reset, then you can only unlock the phone by entering it. However, if the reset was made through Recovery without first logging out of accounts, it is Google's protection that requires authorization that works.

• 🔒 FRP locks the device until the correct data of the last synchronized account is entered.
• 📱 On Xiaomi, there is often a bunch of Google FRP + Mi Cloud Lock, which requires double checks.
• 🌐 An active Internet connection (Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi) is required to check the blocking status. SIM-map).

It’s worth noting that with each Android security update (security patches 2023-2026), Google is closing vulnerabilities that were used to bypass, so methods that worked a year ago on fresh firmware may no longer be relevant.

Preparation for the procedure of deleting the account

Before taking active action to remove the lock, it is necessary to ensure stable conditions for work. Any interruption of the process, such as battery drain or loss of Internet connection, can lead to a re-lock or freeze of the system. Make sure your Redmi Note or Xiaomi Mi is charged at least 60-70%.

You will need a stable Wi-Fi network. Mobile Internet (3G/4G) may not work smoothly when installing the necessary certificates or helper apps, and it is also highly recommended to have a second smartphone or computer on hand to search for additional files or view instructions in real time.

⚠️ Warning: Before any manipulations begin, make sure the device is indeed yours.Using tools to bypass security on stolen phones is punishable by law.

If you can remember at least a part of your password or login, you'd better spend time restoring it through the official Google page, which will take less time and ensure that there are no problems with the service in the future, and if you can't recover, then we'll go to the technical methods.

Official method of access restoration

The easiest and most legal way to do this is to restore your account, and if you remember your login and you forgot your password, Google provides tools to reset it, and on the lock screen, try to enter the password incorrectly several times until you see the option "Forgot your password?" or "Other way."

The system will suggest sending a confirmation code to a linked phone number or backup email address, and if you have access to these communications tools, you can set a new password and unlock Xiaomi, which works seamlessly if your contact details are up to date.

If the phone number is lost or the SIM card is inactive, you can try answering the check questions if they were configured in advance. However, on modern versions of Android, this method is rarely used, most often it is the code from the SMS or push notification to a trusted device.

• 📲 Use the “Forgot Password” feature on the Google Data Entry Screen.
• 📧 Check the backup email specified when creating an account.
• 📞 Make sure that the SIM card associated with the account is active and is on the phone.

If none of these methods work, the only way to fully restore your account is through a browser on another device at accounts.google.com, a process that can take days as Google conducts an automatic security check.

Use of special applications and utilities

When official methods are exhausted, users often resort to using specialized software. There are combine programs such as SamFw Tool, UnlockTool or Mi Flash Pro (in skilled hands) that allow you to delete the device. FRP They're often debugged or they're engineered menus, and they often require a mode to work with them. ADB.

One of the most popular ways is to install a special APK-Since the phone offers to connect to Wi-Fi after the reset, you can try to call the keyboard, go to the keyboard settings (for example, Gboard or SwiftKey) and launch the Chrome browser from there.

An application is downloaded through the browser that changes the interface settings or gives access to system menus, for example, using TalkBack or changing the font size can allow you to open system settings where you can add a new account or delete an old one.

You may accidentally damage system files, which will lead to a “brick” of the device. Always check the sources of downloads and read reviews of other users with similar Xiaomi models.

💡

Use only verified versions of programs to remove FRP. Downloading software from questionable forums can lead to your computer being infected with viruses or installing malware on your phone.

Bypassing availability settings and browser

This is a technique that uses special features. Immediately after reset, during the greeting phase, quickly press 5-6 times on the screen or use a combination of volume buttons to activate TalkBack. If you can, the voice assistant will allow you to move around the screen using gestures.

The goal is to call up a menu where you can run YouTube or Chrome, often by quickly pressing three fingers or using Google voice input, and once you're on YouTube, you can click on the "About Account" or "Privacy Policy" settings to click on the browser link.

In the browser you need to download APK-Launcher or settings file (e.g. Activity Launcher or QuickShortcutMaker) After installation through the file manager (allowing installation from unknown sources in the window that appears), you can access the hidden menu of account settings.

• 🗣️ Activate TalkBack to navigate without touching the login buttons.
• 🌐 Try to access the browser through the links in the menu "Help" or "Terms".
• 📥 Download. APK-file.

This method requires high accuracy and patience. On different versions of MIUI (12, 13, 14), the paths may differ. If one method did not work, try changing the system language to English - sometimes this opens up additional options on the menu.

⚠️ Attention: On Android 11, 12, 13 and above, access to settings through Activity Launcher is often limited. Don't be surprised if menu items are gray or hidden.

Radical measures: flashing and service center

If the software methods fail, it will remain firmware. However, simple flashing through the Mi Flash Tool in Fastboot mode often does not remove the FRP lock, since it is tied to the persist partition, which does not erase with normal firmware.

For ordinary users, the safest option is to contact an authorized Xiaomi service center, if you have a purchase check or a box of goods. IMEI-And the code allows the technicians to delete the account legally, and that guarantees the security of the warranty and the performance of all the functions of the phone.

There are also paid online services that require a phone to be connected to a PC and remotely controlled by an operator, which use expensive licenses to unblock servers, and are highly effective, but can be a significant fraction of the price of a budget smartphone.

When choosing a method, remember: the newer the model and the newer the security patch, the harder it is to bypass the protection yourself. For devices from 2026-2026, the probability of successfully bypassing non-abox dealers (hardware programmers) tends to zero.

💡

The most reliable way to unlock a modern Xiaomi with FRP is to have a check and contact the service. Independent attempts on new models often lead to a loss of time and nerves.
