how to reset settings on android

hard Reset

If the only problem is that you forgot your lock password, then first read the instructions for resetting a picture password on Android or information on resetting the lock using Adb. But if such instructions did not help you, or you have another problem, then read the material presented below. I would like to immediately note that the data located in the internal memory is deleted, and the data from the memory card will remain untouched.

First method: reset your Android smartphone using Recovery

This method is suitable for those whose phone does not turn on, is faulty, or is not possible to unlock your device.

The first step is to turn off your smartphone or tablet.

After this we need to go to Recovery. To do this, you need to press several mechanical buttons at the same time. Which ones exactly depend on the device manufacturer. For example, volume + and power button; volume and power button; volume +/- and power button; volume + and – and the power button.

To navigate through Recovery mode, use the volume rocker. Select "wipe data/factory reset"



In the next menu, select “Yes”



At the end, in the main Recovery menu, select “reboot system now”



The whole procedure takes a few minutes. After the reboot, your device's system will be in the same form as it was during the first startup.

Second way. Hard Reset via setup menu

Enter the Settings menu of your device.

Then go to the “Restore and reset” item, having previously backed up your data.



Go to the “Reset settings” item.



After that, click “Reset device settings”



Then click "Erase everything".



After completing these steps, your device’s settings located in the internal memory will be reset to factory settings.

Third way. Reset using service codes

The easiest way of all. In the dialing menu, you should dial one of the service codes provided. There is a possibility that none of these codes will work, since their performance depends on the manufacturer.

Codes:

* 2767 * 3855 #
* # * # * # * # 7780
*#*#7378423#*#* The reset process will take you no more than 5 minutes and should not cause any difficulties. After all that has been done your smartphone, or the tablet will start working stably. I hope that this article will be useful to you. In addition, use the information received for your needs.
