Hard-reset is equivalent to formatting a device i.e you delete all the data that is inside the phone memory (also known as inbuilt memory) and the handset comes back to its original factory settings.

Hard-reset is required in the following situations:

• When some of the apps do not function and you cannot remove them.

• When your handset is pattern locked. You have forgotten the pattern aswell as the gmail accountID/password associated with that device.

• When your handset becomes too slow.

• When some of the apps do not function and you cannot remove them.

 There are 2 methods of doing a hard reset. First method is by doing it from the phone’s settings. While the second method is from the recovery menu.

First method: This is the most simple method and is possible only if you are able to access the menu options.

1. Go to the settings option in the menu.
2. Search for the ‘BackupAd Restore’ option and select it.
3. Now select the option ‘Factory Data Reset’
4. Now select the option ‘Reset Phone’.
5. The device may ask for the confirmation from your end by the message ‘Erase Everything’. Confirm and your gadget will start the process. It will restart now and you are done!
