A hard reset, also known as a
factory reset or master reset, is the restoration of a device to the state it
was in when it left the factory. All settings, applications and data added by
the user are removed. The term is often heard in reference to smart phones and
tablets but laptop and desktop computers, as well as most other electronic
devices, can usually be restored to factory conditions.
Factory reset may be accomplished through various procedures, depending on the
particular device, or may be available as a device or operating system feature.
Android Factory Reset, for example, is a feature that erases all settings, user
data, third-party applications, and associated application data from an Android
device’s internal flash memory.
The most common reasons to restore factory conditions are to fix a
malfunctioning device or to remove user data before selling or otherwise
disposing of a device or returning it to the manufacturer.
Hard reset contrasts with soft reset, which just means to restart a device.
