Why reset your Nokia 105 (2019)?

Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Nokia 105 (2019)?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Nokia 105 (2019) to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Nokia 105 (2019) 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 Nokia 105 (2019)?
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 Nokia 105 (2019) 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 Nokia 105 (2019)?
"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the Nokia 105 (2019) — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
How do I reset my Nokia 105 (2019)?
Use the Factory Reset method above — the Nokia 105 (2019) doesn't have a separate hardware hard-reset combination, so this is the method that applies.
Does my Nokia 105 (2019) have a hard reset button?
No — the Nokia 105 (2019) doesn't have a dedicated hard reset button or button combination. Use the Factory Reset method above instead.
