Found this via a google search, try giving it a shot and see if it works. Otherwise there are other results and YouTube videos. One of those should point you in the right direction.

There are a lot of results on Google over this. Here's a few screenshots to back that up

Though it would help anyone who would want to try and help if you provided some more information on the nature of the issue and phone.
For example knowing the disposition of the phone (how you got it, is it a demo/retail/company provided/etc), what kind of phone it is (snapdragon, exynos), model of the phone and how MDM was (or would have been) activated on the phone. MDM isn't there for no reason, and it would seem (reading what little I did on those Google Searches) the solutions would kinda seem too tailor towards the reason:
For example:
You work for a company (or of your own accord) that installed Mobile Device Management profiles
This is a demo unit from a store
You installed an application that configured MDM
You may have tried installing firmware (official, custom, unofficial, etc)

well i think im gonna keep using it as demo there is no help any where .exept the 120 usd to drop the file for parmanent remove of that demo .

and where does they sell such thing ?

Hi there. I had the same issue on my samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition I purchased as a demo unit. tried flashing stock ROM using ODIN with no effect and unable to factory reset. finally, this was how I was able to factory reset by tablet with all the retail settings including all the preinstalled videos and images gone.
1. Firstly, your device should be signed into your google account.
2.Enable find my phone in settings
3.Go to your google account (in the same device or different device).
4.Go to devices and select lost device
5.press "consider erasing" device
And Voila, the tablet was reset to stock android with no retail apps or data.
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks

Interesting
But I doubt this flaw will work on latest devices note 8, j7 pro,. Just to mention two of the devices I have got.
Also some MDM implementations will not allow you to enter settings menu.

Has anyone face with this problem?
A friend of mine has bought a brand new S5 in the sealed box, but the Charger Connect Counter has been > 220 times already. Very weird.

thx, interesting to know, this is mine: FURST CHARGE... I thought
v1.8.2:
- Add new menu 'IMEI Backup ★Samsung★' to introduce a new paid app.
- Minor bug fixes.
v1.8.5:
- Remove 'Donate' and 'Remove Ads' menu items
- Add menu 'Phone INFO Plus'
Did you know that the Usage Counters (Charger connect, Headset connect) will not be affected by Factory Reset the phone.
v1.8.6: UI improvements.

This looks like a really interesting app. But I was unable to find any option to get it,
for those of us without access to google play.
Thank you for all your time, and consideration.

Hi,
Technically these counters can be reset. But I personally don't want to intervene in the system data.
This should be considered carefully...

Aquaris X can't access developer options

The whole phone seems to be in some sort of "simple mode", most applications like play store are non existent. The settings seem to be much simpler, without options such as "install from unknown sources" etc. I can't even enable bluetooth or browse my files. I wanted to enable USB debugging to flash a new costum rom, but I can't turn on the developer options.
I also cannot enter the fastboot or recovery mode.
Please help.

I just bought one too, hoping to replace my now aging BQ Aquaris X5 as a daily driver ...
It's really frustrating - it's like the OS is crippled/locked.
Power + Vol Up loads up a different Android OS, requires a f*****ng long password which you set after factory reset for full-disk encryption ...
There is no fastboot, no developer options, a lot of things are restricted.
The phone just beeps and reboots if you try to enter any system mode using key combinations.
I have a Moto X Style/Pure, which I unbricked using a loader image on an SD card to boot into fastboot/recovery, can the same be applied here? It's not as if it's hard bricked ...
Can anyone with a working BQ Aquaris X/X Pro create a loader image? Thanks in advance!
Looks like the bootloader has been overwritten with something custom. People around the internet suggested it's EncronChat OS or EncronSomething.
Anyway, if I can boot it in EDL I guess I'll be able to force flash anything.
I can order a "deep flash" or "EDL" cable from AliExpress, but there's a chance it might not work as other people have reported.
Does anyone know where the test points are located?

FRP LOCK with SAMSUNG ACCOUNT

I HARD RESET my Old Samsung S6 EDGE and wipe cache partion as well (from boot menu) and now I m stuck at FRP Lock. I used the exact Samsung user/password but it cant log me into, instead it just reverts to existing screen. I can easily login to Samsung account on web with this id/pass but not in mobile Why is it not letting me in with the correct user/password? It doesnt give any error either, it just goes back to earlier login screen and/or do nothing.

Looks like it was somehow corrupted. It may be a one time glitch such as a SEU or a hardware failure.
In the future delete the Google account first, then do the factory reset in settings rather than off the boot menu... to add an extra margin of safety.
FRP is a menace... Google keeps piling on the security junk making the devices a true pain to use, less reliable and more inefficient.
Fixing it. The fixes on the internet or take it to a Samsung Experience center at a Best buy.

Thank u very much bro, I managed to get to the phone setting by some FRP Unlock App, then I factory reset the phone again from android settings but it works the same way again. Do u think Flashing the mobile will be the last resort (I dont wanna do this, since I wanna keep the original official stock rom). I can get to setting but not the home with FRP Unlock App. Problem is the Samsung Account lock screen keeps coming and prevents everthing. How to disable this?

You're welcome.
XDA doesn't allow posting hacks for FRP even if I did know how to. I'm very careful to make sure it's never tripped. I've been locked out of a bios before over a corrupted password. It happens, best not to set one whenever possible. If you get into a boot loop on an Android and can't access safe mode or repair it then a boot menu factory reset is the only option. If the password then fails you're right were you are now.
The easiest(?) most secure way is if you can get Samsung to do it for you.

Thank you so much
This you?
Make sure all needed permissions are enabled including in all associated apps like Wearables.
Try a network reset.
Try a hard reboot.
Clear system cache on the boot menu.
Try in safe mode.
Was the phone factory reset after the last major firmware upgrade? Was SmartSwitch used?
What do you mean by "Make sure all needed permissions are enabled". Which apps are needed to check the permissions?
Why should I need to reset network settings?
Already tried cache clear but did not work.
I think I should need to know on which apps this function depend as I disabled bixby, AR and other things i don't need when i bought the phone 2 years ago. But the Device output function was working then.
Tanks in advanced,

Look in the individual app settings under permissions. Android 12 may have other grouped options for this. The app may not have auto setup permissions properly.
Always try network reset when having connectivity issues; you'll need to reconfigure bt and wifi settings after this. Probably VPN too if you use it.
Those apps you disabled aren't dependencies or parent apps. Others may be... Google play Services maybe as well as some Samsung system apps. Not sure as Pie doesn't have that feature. Not present in Q either, I believe.
Play with it, explore settings, read other's solution (doesn't need to be the same model or even OS version to be applicable many times) eventually you'll find the solution.
Which is the app are you alking about checking its permissions?

All related apps... I'm not holding the device. Unfortunately there's always a learning curve with Androids.
edit: On second thought I'm sure a factory reset would do something for you.
What I tried to pilitely point is that your answersars have no value. And, of course there's a learning curve everywhere so it would be nice next time you reply on the forums you make sure you've already attained the learning curve point.
If someone knows what should I check in order to fix the issue, it would be nice to let me know
If it's not the case, It would also be very nice to not make people lose their time.
Thank you so much.

As anyone EVER recovered data after a Factory reset?

As anyone EVER recovered data after a Factory reset? There are so many people who just give blind advice to use android recovery software which actually doesn't work. I have contacted all data recovery they claim it's not possible after Android 8. If anyone has recovered data after a Factory Reset in Android 10. Please Share your thoughts. Also, I have contacted Data recovery specialists across the World who mentioned It's not possible after a factory reset.
Rooting OnePlus 8 ain't easy task. Also I spoke with stellar they don't support after Android 8.

the answer is keys are lost with the deletion.
Ok. So you mean anything which is permanently deleted on android 10 is not recoverable? I am not sure of key deletion I just googled and got tons of articles with different opinions. I will be glad if you explain it better here.
there are tons of opinions but there is only one truth.
Completely securely deleting a single file
My impression is that, if one wishes to be able to delete a certain file completely, without wiping an entire drive, one should never store it on an SSD. Is that right? Even with whole-disk-encry...
unix.stackexchange.com
True. My last question which I need some clarity. I read encryption works only when the screen password or lock has been set. Since this phone was used by my parent they never had any screen lock or password set. Not sure if it's encrypted without a screen lock or password. As I read it phone encrypts only when the screen password is set,. can you throw some light on this? I would really appreciate it.
Doesn't matter. In case no screen lock provided, KDF generates KEK without credentials. each file is encrypted with Per File Key that gets deleted together with file.

It seems possible to recover the photos, as long as they were not overwritten by other data.

Hope that helps.
@wenyendev kindly read the answer you have just linked:
But first of all, see this answer to make sure your data is recoverable.
In short, recovery is more or less possible only if:
Your deleted data hasn't been TRIMmed or discarded.
And you haven't done a factory reset on encrypted /data partition.
