How to reset Android phone remotely
Factory Reset Protection is a part of Device Protection, a feature added by Google in March 2015 for Android devices with 5.1 and later versions. If your phone has this feature enabled – most probably it does – you can factory reset an Android phone only under the login credentials you used when the device was new.
