A hard reset, also known as factory reset or hardware reset means restoring the device to the original factory configuration (the state it was when leaving the factory).
It’s important to keep in mind that by performing a hard reset, all data will be erased from your device memory, including your Google account, system and application data, settings and downloaded applications, music, photos and other user data. We recommend you make a backup or save all data/contacts/messages you want to keep before performing a hard reset.
There are several methods to make a hard reset on a Samsung device:
