⚠

All personal data, accounts, and apps will be permanently removed.

1

Back up your data first — Windows Mobile resets erase everything

2

From the Today screen, go to Start > Settings > System > Clear Storage

3

Enter the confirmation code, commonly 1234 by default

4

Tap 'Yes' to confirm — the device restarts and reinstalls its default configuration

5

On older stylus models, a physical reset pinhole near the battery only performs a soft restart, not a data wipe
