Welcome. In front of me is a Samsung Galaxy A23 and today I'll show you how
0:05
you can hard reset this device through settings. So to get started open up your
0:15
settings. From there you want to navigate to... ...quickly try to locate it
0:31
So it's in general management as you can see right over here and then at the
0:36
bottom you'll find a reset and here you want to select a factory data reset. This
0:42
will bring up a message or a list more like of things that it will remove. So
0:47
quickly going over the important stuff that will remove that you should care
0:51
about. That would be things like pictures, music and user data. Now as you see
0:59
there are several other options like downloaded apps, settings, system and app
1:02
data and Google accounts. Obviously you don't have to worry about those whatsoever because all these things are primarily cloud-stored. Google accounts
1:11
are on Google servers so you just need to re-login to them. App data you really
1:18
shouldn't probably care about it because it's just the data of an app which
1:23
usually when you re-download the app it recreates that data. So again not a
1:29
problem there. Settings again those are settings you can change them. Downloaded
1:35
apps you can re-download them and that's basically it. So anyway obviously if you
1:41
want to keep some of those stuff that are provided right here do make a copy
1:44
of it before you begin but assuming you have already made a copy or you just simply don't want to you can scroll down select reset. If you have some kind of
1:53
screen lock on your device you will need to confirm it right now. I have a
1:57
pattern so there we go. And then this brings me to the next page. All your
2:01
personal information and downloaded apps will be erased and cannot be recovered
2:07
So it just affirms the removal of all the data that we mentioned before. Let's
2:13
just like delete all and this will begin a process. Oh no I actually first have to
2:17
sign out of a Google account which kind of effing stupid considering I needed to
2:22
put in a screen lock and assuming I know the screen lock why would I need to sign
2:25
out. Now I actually don't know if I know the password for it so if I don't I'm
2:30
just gonna say that you need to press OK and proceed further but let me just try
2:37
Ah okay so I actually managed to get it. So this will now go through a factor
2:51
reset which will take about like three minutes to finish up give or take and
2:55
once it's finished we will be done presented with Android setup screen. So
3:00
I'll be back once that is visible. And as you can see the process is now finished and you can set up your phone
3:10
however you like. So if you found this video helpful don't forget to hit like, subscribe and thanks for watching
