Hey, olatunde415!


To reset your data be 100% sure you want to erase your data.

If you're sure, follow these steps. Nothing is reversible! (some stuff is backed up in icloud).


  1. Open Settings
  2. Tap General
  3. Swipe up until you see "Reset iPhone".
  4. Tap "Erase All Content and Settings".
  5. Do the instructions provided.
  6. If you can't remember your Apple ID password, do this next step. If you see a progress bar, your almost done and do not need to follow step 7.
  7. Press and release volume up button.
  8. Press and release volume down button.
  9. Hold Power & Home button.
  10. Hold until Apple logo goes away.
  11. Plug into MacBook or iMac.
  12. Open iTunes.
  13. Click Restore.
  14. Let it reboot.


It might seem complicated, it's not though.
