How to factory reset Qmobile NOIR Android smartphone if you have forgotten the lock

Qmobile NOIR Android smartphone factory reset

Factory reset shouldn’t be your first option, but, what makes you think about it? The answer is that you often forget the password and pattern for unlocking your smartphone and end up in a panic cage because you are not getting into it, no matter how hard you try.

After numerous tries and usually inserting wrong pattern for 10 times (depending upon the version of OS), Android provides you with a solution. You can login to your Gmail account and unlock your screen to work again.

But sometimes you are not that fortunate because logging into your Gmail account would depend on upon few more things;

There is no Wi-Fi available at your location
You had previously turned the Wi-Fi off on your mobile
You have forgotten your Gmail password (even if you reset your Gmail password from any other device, you won’t be able to log in through your mobile as it remembers your last password only)
At this point, there remains no other option but to factory reset your cell phone to wipe off any of the security settings you had set.

The process would certainly bring back the life to your mobile but at the same time, you will lose everything on your mobile including your valuable data, apps, etc. It will bring the cell phone back to a position when you had bought it.

Here is a step by step procedure that will help you factory reset your Q-mobile.

Procedure for factory reset

Step One

Do not panic and just press Power key (on the right side) and Volume Up+Volume Down (on the right side) simultaneously and keep them pressed for at least 10 seconds.

Step Two

The phone will restart and you will see the following screen. Depending upon the model of your phone, you will see somewhat similar options. Select Recovery Mode by pressing Volume Up key.

Step Three

Following screen will appear after step two where you will scroll down and select wipe data / factory reset. While it is selected, press the Option Touch key on the bottom left corner of your QMobile NOIR

Step Four

You will get a warning from the system about all your data being removed. You obviously have no choice so using the lower volume key button you scroll down to the option eight i.e. Yes and once again press the Option Touch key the way you did in step three.

Step Five

Just wait for a while and you will see that your phone is reset after few seconds. It may take more time for some people but eventually it is going to reset everything. Once done, it will show you 8 options from which you need to select Reboot System Now. That’s it. Your phone is back.

Although the process is easier but it’s a real pain as you lose everything inside your phone. So once you regain the control of it, try to set a password or PIN that you can remember. I would suggest you to write it somewhere in case you forget it next time.
