How to factory/hard reset your Samsung phone
Factory reset, commonly known as hard reset is the last way to fix software-related issues on your smartphone. This method restores your phone to its original factory settings, erasing all your data in the process. However, data present on other media, such as a secure digital card will not be affected by a factory reset.
