What Does a Factory Reset Do?

A factory reset erases all data on your phone—including apps, contacts, photos, and passwords—and returns it to the state it was in when you first bought it. It’s a useful last resort when you’re locked out or experiencing serious issues with your device.

Important: A factory reset will remove everything on your phone. If possible, back up your important data before proceeding.

The reset method depends on your phone’s manufacturer. Below are step-by-step instructions for some of the most common Net10 phones:

4. Use the Volume Down button to highlight “Wipe data/factory reset”.
5. Press the Power button to select it.
6. Highlight “Yes” and confirm with Power button.
7. Once done, select “Reboot system now”.

Google Account Warning (FRP Lock)

If your phone has Factory Reset Protection (FRP) enabled (common with Android 5.1+), after the reset you’ll be asked to enter the Google account credentials that were previously linked to the phone. This is a security feature to prevent stolen devices from being wiped and reused.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will a factory reset remove my phone number or service?
A: No. Your phone number and service are tied to your SIM card and Net10 account, not the phone’s memory.

Q: What if I don’t know the Google account linked to the phone?
A: You’ll need that account info to finish setup after a reset due to Factory Reset Protection. If you can’t access it, call Net10 for help.

Q: Is this the same as removing a screen lock without resetting?
A: No. These steps will erase your phone. There’s no official way to bypass the lock without resetting unless you know the credentials.
