Now, I want to help you too by telling how to hard reset. In general, as the question was originally asked, what is Hard Reset? - abbreviated XP (many of us like to abbreviate phrases), with the help of it, we restore the factory settings in the device, previously agreeing to delete all the information installed in the device.
How to prepare a little?
Removing all the information, there is a risk of deleting something important, therefore, it’s worth it on time, but if you are sure that the device does not have important data, then make a backup only of your choice.Please note that XP is not worth doing right away, as it happens that the phone freezes, and any keystroke does not work on it, in such cases they usually just hold down the Power button (turn on / turn off the device) and hold for about 10 seconds, the phone should just turn off.
I myself often encounter similar problems, and also, like you, I strive to solve the problems of my pocket favorite.
