Why reset your Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro?

Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro 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 ROG Phone 6 Pro?
Typically a few minutes, though it can take longer on older or heavily used devices as more stored data has to be wiped.
Will I need my Google account password after resetting the Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro?
Yes, if Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is enabled. Android (and HarmonyOS 2.x devices with Google services) will ask for the last signed-in Google account after a reset — make sure you know that password first.
Does my Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro have a hard reset button?
Not a single dedicated button — the Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro uses a button combination instead of one labeled "reset." See the Hard Reset section above for the exact keys to press.
Can I factory reset my Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro without the password?
Yes — resetting through recovery mode doesn't require your lock screen password, since it bypasses the login screen entirely. That said, Factory Reset Protection may still ask for your Google account credentials afterward as an anti-theft measure.
How do I format my Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro?
"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
