Factory Reset on the Nokia Lumia 2520 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.
Back up your data first — Windows Mobile resets erase everything
From the Today screen, go to Start > Settings > System > Clear Storage
Enter the confirmation code, commonly 1234 by default
Tap 'Yes' to confirm — the device restarts and reinstalls its default configuration
On older stylus models, a physical reset pinhole near the battery only performs a soft restart, not a data wipe
