Need help unlocking phones

[Mythic123b]

Today I bought 2 Samsung phones at auction a Z fold 1 and a Z fold 2 but I don't know the patterns and the z fold 2 is protected by google how do I get past this?

Connect to USB on laptop
However- From what I recall most of the time if there's a google account you just have a fancy paperweight, so I'd speak to the people you got them from
1. Simultaneously press and hold the power button + volume up button + home key until the Samsung logo appears, then release only the power button.

2. From the Android system recovery screen, select wipe data/factory reset.
3. Select Yes -- delete all user data.
4. Select reboot system now.

Ask the person you brought them off

I contacted them and they say they also got them from another auction ;-;

If there's absolutely no way to get the google account off- from what I've found....there's not really much you're able to do, maybe try contacting Samsung support but, due to security I believe they're just bricks without

If no one has got the codes to unlock then you have basically wasted your money
Samsung won't be able to assist either
Worse still they could be stolen

Unfortunately you're trying to get around the FRP protection. You'll be able to factory reset it from the recovery menu but once the phone restarts it will ask for the last users Google password or pin.

FRP (Factory Reset Prevention) is a security feature in Android designed to restrict people from using your Android device if they forcefully perform an untrusted factory reset on the device. Untrusted factory reset is performed via recovery mode.

No way. It's there to avoid theft phones getting reselled after factory reset. Samsung support wont help you with this. Sorry
