Important Considerations

  • Data Loss
    Both methods will erase all data on your device, including apps, contacts, and files. Ensure you have backups of important information if possible.
  • Google Account Verification
    After a factory reset, you may need to verify your Google account if Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is enabled on your device.
  • Device-Specific Steps
    The exact button combinations and menu options may vary slightly depending on your Android device model.

Method 1: Factory Reset via Recovery Mode

This method is applicable if you cannot access the phone’s settings due to being locked out.

  1. Power Off the Device: Ensure your Android phone is completely turned off.
  2. Enter Recovery Mode:
    • Press and hold the Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously until the recovery mode screen appears. (For some devices, you may need to use the Volume Down button instead)
  3. Navigate to Wipe Data/Factory Reset:
  4. Use the volume buttons to scroll to Wipe data/factory reset and press the Power button to select it.
  5. Confirm the Reset:
  6. Highlight Yes — delete all user data using the volume buttons and confirm with the Power button.
  7. Reboot the Device:
  8. After the reset process completes, select Reboot system now to restart your phone.

This process will erase all data on your device, returning it to factory settings.

Method 2: Using Google Find My Device

If your phone is connected to a Google account and has internet access, you can remotely reset it:

  1. Visit Find My Device: On a computer or another device, go to the Google Find My Device website.
  2. Sign In: Log in with the Google account associated with your locked phone.
  3. Select Your Device: Choose the locked device from the list.
  4. Choose Erase Device: Click on the option to erase your device, which will perform a factory reset remotely.
