What's the meaning of this message?

"This device was reset to continue sign in with a Google account that was previously synced" means your phone has been reset to its factory settings. To regain access, you must sign in to the Google account that was synced with your device prior to the reset.

In theory, a factory reset erases all data and settings on the phone, including logged-in accounts. So why is your phone still asking for a previously synced Google account after a factory reset? This is because of the Factory Reset Protection (FRP) feature integrated into Android, which Google designed to deter unauthorized access to the device after a factory reset.

If your Android phone has a screen lock and is logged into a Google account, FRP is enabled by default. FRP links your device to your Google account and requires you to verify your identity by signing in with the same account after a factory reset. This way, even if someone steals your phone and tries to reset it to use it as their own, they won't be able to proceed without knowing your Google account credentials.

FRP plays a crucial role in securing your Android phone if it's lost or stolen. However, it can become a hassle if you lost access to your own Google account or got a used phone with someone else's Google account still linked to it. So that's why you've come to this page. Next, we will show you how to bypass "This device was reset to continue sign in with a Google account" and regain access to your device.

This typically involves providing information linked to your account, such as recovery email or phone number, to verify your identity and regain access.
