Bypass FRP with DroidKit (Optional):

If you’re locked out due to FRP and unable to recall your Google account details, consider using DroidKit:

• FRP Bypass Tool: Unlocks devices without the original Google account.
• Screen Unlocker: Removes any screen locks, such as PINs, patterns, fingerprints, or passwords.

Post-Reset Setup:

• Initial Setup: The phone will guide you through the setup process.
• Google Account Verification: You may need to sign in with your previous Google account if prompted.

The Galaxy A13 5G will now be fully reset and ready for new setup or troubleshooting.
