Follow these steps.


Some steps might be “unnecessary” but following them will ensure that your data is fully backed-up beforehand (so that you might restore later).


Following them will also prevent the device from becomming “Activation Locked.”

The root certificate store is a somewhat unusual place from which to start a reset request. Are you having issues with that, or with security in general, or possibly with Activation Lock?
