Why reset your LG M6100?

Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my LG M6100?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the LG M6100 to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the LG M6100 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 LG M6100?
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 LG M6100 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 LG M6100?
"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the LG M6100 — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
How do I reset my LG M6100?
Use the Factory Reset method above — the LG M6100 doesn't have a separate hardware hard-reset combination, so this is the method that applies.
Does my LG M6100 have a hard reset button?
No — the LG M6100 doesn't have a dedicated hard reset button or button combination. Use the Factory Reset method above instead.
