How to Factory Reset — Microsoft Kin One

⏱ ~5 min📋 5 steps

The Microsoft Kin One is a 2010 device powered by the Nvidia Tegra with 256MB and 4GB internal storage. It features a 2.6", TFT, 320.0x240.0 display and is available in Black.

The Kin One is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion 1240 mAh battery, a 5 MP, 480p@30fps main camera. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 110 g.

Factory Reset on the Microsoft Kin One works differently than it does on Android, since this phone uses its own menus and terminology. Follow the steps below, written specifically for this device rather than adapted from Android instructions.

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

1

Open the Menu or Settings on the phone

2

Look for 'Restore Factory Settings', 'Master Reset', or 'Reset Phone' (naming varies by manufacturer)

3

Enter the security code if asked — the factory default is commonly 0000 or 1234 if you never changed it

4

Confirm to erase all data and restore original settings

5

The phone restarts automatically once finished
