Hi Everyone

Year ago I registered samsung account to my phone using personal domain name email.

Now looking to factory reset my phone but domain name expired and obviously no access to that email.

What is my options?

In settings choose factory reset this will erase all accounts on the device, don't factory reset in recovery as it will leave accounts still associated with you.

Hello!

Now that I wasn't aware of? I hope this isn't "hijacking" the OP's post but it's rather topical to myself.

I'll spare the long story but due to a number of "issues" I've had to do a number of factory resets which I've done from recovery.

As all data on the phone is supposed to be deleted I still then have to sign in to my Google accounts as normal so is this not the same?

Apologies if this is a dumb question but I'm now confused 🤔

Correct in recovery it will ask to put password of the Google/Account of the device because it didn't delete it , where if you factory reset through settings it will ask an account you want to associate your device with then enter the email and password

Another thing if you trade in your phone or gift it to someone don't factory reset in recovery it will still belong to you , always in settings
