How do you reset phone to factory settings?

I need to send my old phone in to verizon and I want to remove all my personal stuff. how do I do a hard reset of the phone?

    cw3macke,
Great question. I know how important it is to remove all of your information from the device before sending it out. I have a great link that will provide you with the steps on how to complete the Factory Reset on the Droid Razr: http://vz.to/1dmLx4r Please keep us posted if you have any further questions or concerns.

    Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

    Welcome to the Apple community skchilton.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • We have a 3rd generation iPod nano which we have forgotten the password to.  How do I reset it to factory settings so I can sync it with our iMac and iTunes?

    How do I reset our iPod nano 3rd generation to factory specs so we can sync it to our iMac and iTunes?  We have forgotten the password and have given up on the guessing game after too many attempts.  I have been through the support, tried trouble shooting, but it doesn't seem to sink in...  What is the "simple" way to get our nano back for a new set up?

    I should add that I have tried the online on how to restore but it says it has to be through iTunes and iTunes doesn't even recognize the iPod at this point. The iPod is an iPod 2 classic I believe.

  • I have a restriction passcode that I have no idea what the passcode could be. I know that I need to reset the phone to factory settings but how do go about doing this without losing all of my contacts and other info, etc? (mainly contacts)

         At some point, I don't even remember doing this it must have been so long ago, I set a restrictions passcode on my phone. This has become a problem now because I have so many apps that I do not ever use that take up so much space I can no longer take pictures or put more music on the device. I have read that I need to restore to factory settings but that once I do that I cannot restore to a backup because restrictions passcodes are saved in backups. Is there any way for me to restore my phone to factory settings and then get all of my contacts and perhaps as much other data back as I can? I have tried every passcode I can think of for the restrictions passcode (24 times! to the point that ever time I try and fail I cannot try again for an hour. To say the least, this is quite frustrating as is limits what i can do with my phone on a daily basis, whether it be music or taking pictures and videos etc. Can someone please help me solve this problem without losing minimal data? I have already backed the phone up to my computer as well as iCloud. Even the woman at the apple store told me I had to restore it to factory but was too busy to get further into it and I didn't have a genius bar appointment. If all else fails I can make an appointment and go in there. I just thought I may as well ask on here first to see if there was a way I could do it myself. Thanks for reading and hope you can help me!

    You can't. Restoring new means everything is erased. If you have a backup made before creating a restriction code, then you can restore that backup, but none later.
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • HT1338 With original installation cd missing, how do you reset OSX 10.6.8 (originally OSX 10.5) to factory settings??

    The machine came with 10.5, those disks are not available anymore from Apple.
    You use the $29 10.6.3 white retail disks you get from Apple store online or already have in your possession.
    Yes you upgraded OS X 10.5 to 10.6.3 with them, it also contains the entire 10.6.3.
    When you "upgraded" your Applications and User accounts folders remained while only OS X 10.5 folders was replaced with 10.6.3 folders.
    So if you hold the c or option key down while booting from the 10.6.3 disks, you can use Disk Utility to erase the entire drive and reinstall 10.6.3 only, like a brand new machine.

    Hello marie196,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    You do not necessarily need to restore the device to factory settings, but rather sign out of the four services that utilize your Apple ID: iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and iTunes & App Stores. Once signed out, you can sign in with a new Apple ID. For more information, see the following article:

    Additional Information: You may encounter an error regarding a 90-day limit. For information on this, see the following article:
