A master reset reverts the device back to factory settings. It will permanently erase all personal data, preferences, settings and content such as pictures, ringtones and apps that are saved to the device and SD card. It is recommended that you save (backup) important data to your SIM card, or a computer before proceeding.

First, try this:

1. Make sure that device is turned on.
2. Start by opening Main Menu next on open Settings folder.
3. Tap on Privacy and select Factory Data Reset.
4. Tap on Reset Phone, enter your password (if required) and confirm by selecting Erase Everything.
5. Let the phone restart and you’re done.

If that doesn’t work, or if your phone is frozen:
