Hello, this is Nick with Nick's computer fix, calm and here's a quick video on how to reset your Alcatel phone back to factory defaults. It's free and easy. Okay, let's go ahead and get started here for those people who might not know where they factory reset. Is it basically means that you are deleting and wiping out everything the phone back to the way the phone was when you first opened up the box and pull the phone out for the first time? So that's what we want to go ahead and do- and in this case this is the Alcatel ideal, and this also works on the One Touch model as well, and this is the state in which we're trying to get the phone back to where it says. Welcome so I'm going to go ahead and power, this phone down and touch that, and that makes it go off and there we go now at this point we can go ahead and do a hard reset, which is the one that I'm going to show you, which is on the side. You have your power button, and you have your volume button.
You press and hold them both at the same time, and once you do it powers up the Alcatel phone back up, and then it puts it into the factory reset mode where you have a selection and as you can see, the first one says reboot system now. But what we want to do is go down to this one here or let me move back up, wipe data, / factory reset and hit the power button. —, you know, select it, and then we're gonna, move it back down again with the volume button and then hit the power button and select delete all data all right. That's how you go about it, and we'll wait and see what happens here. This does take a few minutes to happen.
So when you do this, it's not instantaneous and let me give you a close-up shot here. What it's doing its saying: wiping data formatting cash. Now this process all depends on how many apps you have installed, how much data in pictures you have it'll take about a minute, and afterwards you have a selection here that says reboot system and that's what we're going to do by hitting the power button there, and now it's rebooting, and now from the time that you hit the power button to make the Alcatel phone reboot. It takes a good three minutes. I notice on this particular phone to actually come back to the welcome screen and while that's happening I just want to let you know that this is a very low price phone, and it's actually a throwaway phone.
In my opinion and it's an 18 t go phone which basically you buy it, and you pay as you go, but at any rate, if you're in need of accessing your phone because of whatever reason you can't remember you PIN or your password or whatever. This is the way to do a hard factory reset and put it back to factory settings. Whereas when it powers back ORN, you will get the welcome screen, and you will be able to go ahead through the setup process on the cell phone once again.
