To perform a factory data reset
Note
To avoid permanent damage to your device, do not interrupt a factory data reset procedure.
1
Back up any important data that is saved on the internal memory of your device to
a memory card or other non-internal memory. If you have any encrypted files
stored on an SD card, you should also remove the encryption to ensure you can
still access them after the reset.
2
Find and tap Settings > System > reset.
3
Tap Factory data reset > Reset phone.
4
If required, draw your screen unlock pattern or enter your screen unlock password
or PIN to continue.
5
To confirm, tap Erase everything.
Hint
Your device does not revert to an earlier software version of Android when you perform a
factory data reset.
Repairing the device software
If you forget your screen unlock password, PIN or pattern, you can use the device
repair feature in Xperia Companion to erase the security layer. You need to provide
your Google account login details to perform this operation. By running the repair
feature, you reinstall software for your device and you may lose some personal
data in the process.
If your device seems to have frozen, restarts repeatedly or doesn’t start at all after
you’ve updated the Xperia software or after you’ve performed a software repair or
a factory data reset, try forcing the device to shut down then try turning it back on.
If the problem still exists, force the device to shut down then perform a software
repair.

Hint
When you receive a new Google account username or password, you might not be able to
use them to log in.
