How to Master Reset your Galaxy A60
A master reset or hard reset will delete all your personal files, information and data. Therefore, if possible, take a little time creating a backup of things you don’t want to lose. If you’re just doing the hard reset to set your phone up as a new device, then you should be able to sync your account so that your contacts and other data will be uploaded to your account in the cloud. After the backup and if possible, remove your Google and Samsung accounts just before you reset your phone so that you won’t be locked out. If it’s not possible, then take note of the account you’re using as you will be using that to set up your phone after the reset.
