Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Micromax A90?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Micromax A90 to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Micromax A90 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 Micromax A90?
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 Micromax A90?
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 Micromax A90 have a hard reset button?
Not a single dedicated button — the Micromax A90 uses a button combination instead of one labeled "reset." See the Hard Reset section above for the exact keys to press.
How do I reset my Micromax A90?
Use the Hard Reset method above if your Micromax A90 is frozen or won't respond, or the Factory Reset method if the screen still works normally — both are covered step by step on this page.
How do I format my Micromax A90?
"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the Micromax A90 — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
