Why reset your Asus P552w?

Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Asus P552w?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Asus P552w to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Asus P552w remove the SIM lock or carrier lock?
No. A hard or factory reset only clears data and settings — it doesn't remove a carrier/SIM lock, which is tied to the device's IMEI at the network level. You'd need to contact your carrier for an unlock.
How long does a factory reset take on the Asus P552w?
Typically a few minutes, though it can take longer on older or heavily used devices as more stored data has to be wiped.
Does the Asus P552w lock to an account after a reset?
Usually not — Factory Reset Protection (FRP) and Activation Lock are Android and iOS features. Most other platforms, including this device's, don't add an account lock after a reset.
How do I format my Asus P552w?
"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the Asus P552w — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
What is recovery mode on my Asus P552w?
Recovery mode is a stripped-down menu outside the normal operating system, used to wipe data or apply updates when the Asus P552w won't boot normally. See the Enter Recovery Mode section above for how to reach it on this device.
Does my Asus P552w have a hard reset button?
No — the Asus P552w doesn't have a dedicated hard reset button or button combination. Use the Factory Reset method above instead.
