How to factory reset Samsung phone without password

There are a few special considerations to keep in mind when factory resetting your Samsung Galaxy device.

  • Backup important data: Factory resetting your device will erase all data, so it is important to back up any important data such as photos, videos, contacts, and documents before proceeding. You can back up data using Samsung Cloud, Google Drive, or by transferring it to a computer.
  • Remove SIM card and SD card: Before factory resetting, it’s recommended to remove the SIM card and SD card (if applicable) from your device to protect any data stored on them.
  • Check for software updates: Before factory resetting, it is always a good idea to check for any software updates for your device. If there is an update available, install it before proceeding with the factory reset.
  • Remove your Google account: If you’re planning to sell or give away your device, it’s important to remove your Google account from the device before factory resetting to prevent the new owner from gaining access to your personal information.
  • Be aware of the location service: Turn off the location service and turn off any apps that use location service before factory resetting, this is to prevent sharing your location data with the new user.
  • Check for Anti-theft/Security apps: Some Samsung devices come with security apps such as Samsung Find My Mobile, and it should be turned off before factory reset, as it could prevent a factory reset to be completed or wiping the device.
  • Take note of your device settings: If you have custom settings such as the launcher, accessibility settings, or apps that are not available on the app store it may be worth making a note of them before factory resetting, as it could be hard to find after.

By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth factory reset process and protect your personal information and data. Keep in mind that the steps vary a bit from one Samsung model to another so some details may be a bit different, it’s always best to consult the user manual or official Samsung website for specific instructions for your model.
