What type of reset do you want to do?


For a full reset to make the phone like 'new', use the steps in the article below.


Selling/Giving Away Device.  *


Or a factory reset? Do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from your backup.


Restore to Factory setting.      *


Restore - If you see an error when you update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.   *


Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.     *
