So I got my hands on a brand new Nokia 5 smartphone running Android 7, with the typical problem of forgetting the pattern key. It is almost impossible to perform a factory reset using standard functions from the menu of a phone with a locked screen; therefore, I decided to do such a reset via a hard reset, and since I did not find instructions with all the recommendations, I decided to write it myself.

First, I’ll tell you a little about why a hard reset is needed and what problems it can fix. This manipulation is resorted to only if it is not possible to perform a factory reset using standard methods. I will say right away that after a Hard reset, all the data that was on the smartphone will be deleted, and the device will return to the state of the phone from the factory.

Thanks to this, you will not only reset a forgotten pattern key, but also remove annoying errors such as, the application has stopped, there is not enough memory when installing programs, etc.

Warning: starting from android version 5 and higher, in our case we will perform such a reset on a Nokia 5 smartphone with a pre-installed Android 7 system, You must know your account and password, otherwise you will not be able to activate your smartphone after resetting. I described how to create an account on the phone in this topic “”.

Reading the comments, I decided to add to the topic today, November 7, 2018. If you decide to reset your Nokia phone, but don’t remember your Google account and the phone still works, but with glitches, I advise you to do “”, and then proceed with the “hard reset”. This unlocking will unlink your smartphone from your account. With respect to you!

Well, now, in principle, we read the instructions themselves carefully, since they have a small feature and a universal scheme, as in this topic “”, will not work.

Let's start, if your Nokia 5 smartphone is turned on, turn it off and wait for it to turn off completely. Attention: after a complete shutdown, take the charger and connect our smartphone to charging, this action is mandatory, otherwise you will not be able to perform a factory reset via a hard reset. We are waiting for the battery to appear on the display as during charging, screenshot below.

And only after the battery indicator disappears, press and hold the volume plus “+” key and turn on the “Power” key at the same time (the location of the buttons is shown in the picture below).

By holding down these buttons, the display will display a logo with the inscription Android, continue to hold the buttons for 3-5 seconds, then release the power button, hold down the volume “+”.

Another couple of seconds and you will be taken to the recovery menu, the same as in the screenshot below. Using the volume “+” and “-” buttons, move to the “wipe data/factory reset” section, select it, and confirm our choice with the power button.

In the window that appears, use the same method to move to “Yes” and confirm the action with the power button, after which the phone itself will automatically reset the smartphone to its factory state.

The whole process takes place automatically, upon completion of which you will be thrown back to the initial menu. In it, select “reboot system now” and confirm the action.

This concludes our instructions; your phone will reboot and become like a smartphone from the factory. The first launch after a Hard Reset is quite slow due to the fact that virtually the entire Android operating system is reinstalled. We set up the switched-on phone as new, and if you have a ready-made account, enter it and enjoy the phone without errors and a pattern. If you have any questions on this topic, write comments with questions, I will be glad to help. With respect to you!
