10 Factory data reset

To activate factory data reset:

Touch Backup and reset\Factory data reset

Touch Reset phone\Erase everything

Phone reset will erase all of your personal data from internal phone storage, including information about your Google Account, any other accounts, your system and application settings, and any downloaded applications. Resetting the phone does not erase any system software updates you’ve downloaded. If you reset the phone in this way, you’re prompted to re-enter the same kind of information as when you first started Android.

When you are unable to power on your cellphone, there is another way to perform a factory data reset by pressing the Volume up key and the Power key at same time until the screen lights up.
