I've seen different behaviours depending on models.

Usually removing all accounts from a device is enough, but it is not rare when you actually need to factory reset it.

In either case, don't setup any accounts on it. After factory reset, do the least you can on the device to enable USB debugging, install the app you want to enable DeviceOwner for - not through Play Store as you will need to setup an account.

adb shell dpm set-device-owner app.package/.DeviceAdminReceiver
