Old tablet requesting code

Brodie2 — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 10:45:14 GMT

I have been given a fairly old Samsung Galaxy tablet that belonged to a now deceased relative. was told it had been ‘reset’. When I open it up, it asks for a 6 digit code before I can get any further. Any ideas how to get past this?

Hi and welcome, sadly, there is nothing you can do, even my old S6 Edge has the old FRP protection, without the PIN, reocvery account details, username, password, you are stuck.

Honestly do not waste your money on internet services saying they can remove it, i have spent allot of time trying to recover my device and failed on every DIY and paid method.

Its a double edge sword, great if you lose a device, a nightmare if you forgot critical information.
