Welcome and front of me is a Google Pixel 4 and today I will show you how to
0:09
perform a hard reset of the device and also remove a screen lock if you have it
0:14
set. So as you will see there is a screen lock so I'm gonna proceed from here as
0:18
though I don't know it. So you want to hold the power key and select power off
0:22
wait for the device to shut off and once it has you want to then hold the power
0:27
key and a volume down both keys at the same time. Now you want to hold it for a
0:31
brief moment so about one two three and let go. There's also a possibility that
0:38
if you hold it for just a little bit longer and you let go of the power key
0:41
it registers that as a press so it considers basically whatever it's
0:46
selected here which is start by default so it kind of like enters this mode and
0:52
then immediately leaves it because of it so you just want to try it again and let
0:56
go of the power key a little bit before this mode appears. Okay so from here
1:02
you'll use volume keys to navigate and we want to navigate into the recovery
1:06
mode which is right here you can see once you see the recovery mode while
1:10
scrolling with the volume keys so right here and press the power key to accept
1:17
it and then you will see the Android with no command so you want to hold
1:25
power key and press volume up like so and we're now in the recovery mode so
1:31
from here again you'll use volume keys to navigate and you want to select wipe
1:35
data factory reset right here and once selected as it is right now press power
1:40
key and again select factory data reset using volume key and then press power
1:47
key to confirm it. It begins the process as you can see on the bottom formatting
1:51
data then you should see for data wipe complete or something along those lines
1:56
okay there it is data wipe complete and reboot system now should be selected by
2:01
default so all you need to do now is press power key. Now the phone will
2:06
continue to perform this operation in the background so it will take a little
2:10
bit longer to turn back on than it normally does but once it's finished we should be done greeted with the Android setup screen so I'll be back once that is
2:16
visible. Okay as you can see the process is finished so you can now go to the
2:26
setup process of your device as however you like so if you found this very
