If your phone is not working and you need to reset it, first try a soft reset by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds until it restarts. If this doesn't work, use a hard reset: hold the power and volume up (or down) buttons until the boot menu appears, then navigate to 'Wipe data/factory reset' and confirm. Remember, this will erase all your data.
