In this tutorial, we'll show you some easy ways to hard reset ZTE Axon M. You won’t even need a password and you won’t lose any data. Why would I need to hard reset my phone?

If you have lost access to your device's settings for any reason, a hard reset may be your only option. The problem could be caused by a broken screen or your complicated password might have been forgotten. Both reasons are something that happens to the best of us! But did you know that a hard reset on your ZTE Axon M can be performed without entering the device's password? So whatever your need to hard reset your phone might be, it’s really not all that difficult.

The most important step to resetting your phone
Making a backup of your phone's data is critical, for whatever method you decide to use. This precautionary measure should always be taken if you intend to import the data onto a new phone. In the unlikely, but possible, event that something goes wrong during your mobile reset; this step should save a lot of anguish!

How to Perform a "Soft Reset" on ZTE Axon M

A soft reset is the simplest method to reset your ZTE Axon M. The device is simply restarted and no changes are made to it. A soft reset may be required if the phone isn't working properly or appears "frozen" and won't respond to your touch. This is the mobile phone equivalent of clearing the cache on your PC’s web browser, and is possibly the swiftest way to start over.

Here’s how:

• To begin, press and hold the Power and Volume down keys simultaneously for 5-10 seconds.
• Release the buttons once the rebooting process has begun.

Couldn’t be simpler, right!

How to do a Standard Factory Reset

If a soft reset still doesn’t solve your issues it’s time to up the ante ever so slightly. You might have the same slow down issues or even a phone that has stopped working entirely, if a soft reset hasn’t resolved this, then the next logical step would be a factory reset.

Beware though-all data stored on the phone will be lost if you do a factory reset. The mobile is literally put back to the same state that it was when it left the factory. Here’s how to perform a factory reset:

• Firstly, access your phone's settings.
• Choose "General Administration," then select the "Reset" option.
• From the list of options choose "Factory Data Reset.
• You will then have to enter the device's PIN or password.
• And the final step, “Delete everything”, no going back now!

Perform a factory reset in Recovery Mode

Sometimes your phone really doesn’t know what’s best for it and simply won’t let you perform a Factory Reset. A phone, like any gadget, can sometimes get itself all muddled up and confused, one of these instances is the perpetual boot loop-the phone is trying to start up, but something is preventing it. These “limbo” like states are when “recovery mode” becomes the best option to use.

The simple steps to resetting your ZTE Axon M in Recovery Mode

• Press the power button and choose the "Power Off" option.
• Press and hold both the Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously. The animated logo for your device appears on screen after a while. You can release the buttons then.
• Now you will use the volume up and down buttons to navigate through the menu. The option you are looking for is "Wipe Data/Factory Reset." Select this and then press the power button.
• Again use the Volume keys to go through the options available. Choose “YES” when prompted to confirm that you want to permanently erase all data from your device.
• The last step is to turn off your mobile phone

All of these steps have erased all the data from your ZTE Axon M. The phone will then, just like a new phone, take you through the set up procedure, but can then be used normally, and hopefully issue-free.
