how to reset android mobile phone

Resetting an Android mobile phone can be done in a couple of ways, depending on the
level of reset you want to perform. Here are the two primary methods:

1. **Factory Reset from Settings:**

a. Open the "Settings" app on your Android device.

b. Scroll down and look for an option like "System," "System & updates," or "General
management," depending on your device's specific interface.

c. Within this menu, look for an option called "Reset," "Backup & reset," or "Reset options."

d. Tap on "Factory data reset" or a similar option. You may be prompted to enter your
device's PIN, pattern, or password.

e. Review the information provided and confirm that you want to proceed with the reset.

f. Your device will now erase all data and settings and return to its factory default state.
This process may take several minutes.

2. **Factory Reset using Hardware Buttons (if you can't access the settings):**

a. Turn off your Android device completely.

b. Depending on your device model, you may need to press and hold specific button
combinations to enter the recovery mode. Common combinations include holding the
Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously or Volume Up, Home, and Power buttons
simultaneously.

c. Once you're in recovery mode, use the Volume buttons to navigate through the options
and the Power button to select "Recovery Mode" or "Wipe data/factory reset."

d. Confirm the action when prompted. Use the Volume buttons to navigate to the "Yes"
option and press the Power button to select it.

e. Your device will now begin the factory reset process. Once completed, use the volume
buttons to navigate to the "Reboot system now" option and press the Power button to
restart your device.

Important: Performing a factory reset will erase all data from your device, including apps,
photos, videos, contacts, and any personal settings. Make sure to back up any important
data before proceeding with the reset. Additionally, ensure that your device is sufficiently
charged or connected to a power source before initiating the reset process.
