Samsung tablets are known for their high-quality and user-friendly features. If you are experiencing issues with your tablet or you want to sell or give it away, a factory reset is the best option. A factory reset is a process of erasing all the user data and restoring the tablet to its original settings. This article will guide you on how to factory reset your Samsung tablet.
Step 1: Backup Your Data
Before initiating the factory reset, it’s important to backup all your data. This includes contacts, videos, music, documents, and other important files. You can backup your data using Samsung Cloud, Google Drive or any other backup application. Ensure that you have successfully backed up all your important data before proceeding with the factory reset.
Step 2: Access Settings
To perform a factory reset on a Samsung tablet, you need to access the Settings on your tablet. To do this, navigate to the home screen and tap on the Settings icon. Alternatively, you can swipe down from the top of your screen and tap on the Settings icon.
Step 3: Find the Factory Reset Option
Scroll down the Settings menu and find the ‘General Management’ option. Tap on this option and you will be taken to a new page. From this page, select ‘Reset’ and then tap on ‘Factory Data Reset’.
Step 4: Initiate the Factory Reset
Tap on ‘Reset’ to initiate the factory reset process. Your tablet will now begin to erase all the user data and restore the tablet to its original settings. Depending on the amount of data on your tablet, the factory reset may take a few minutes to complete. During the reset process, your tablet will automatically restart several times.
Step 5: Set Up Your Tablet
Once the factory reset is complete, your tablet will restart, and you will be guided through the setup process. You will need to set up your tablet as you did when you first bought it. This includes selecting a language, connecting to Wi-Fi, and signing in to your Google account. You can then restore your data from the backup you created earlier.
