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
