How to Factory Reset — MWg Zinc II

⏱ ~5 min📋 5 steps

The MWg Zinc II is a 2008 Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional device with 64MB and 256MB | 64MB internal storage. It features a 2.8", TFT resistive touchscreen, 256K colors (65K effective), 240.0x320.0 display and is available in Black.

The Zinc II is equipped with a Removable Li-Po 1530 mAh battery, a 2 MP, Yes main camera. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 185 g.

Factory Reset on the MWg Zinc II works differently than it does on Android, since this platform 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

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
