What is a factory reset? As the name implies, a factory reset will remove everything from the device and return it to how it was “from the factory.” All of your personal data and apps are wiped clean.
First, open up the “Settings” app by finding it in the home screen, or by swiping down twice from the top of the screen and tapping the gear icon in the notification shade.
Next, scroll down and select “Device Options.”
Now, select “Reset to Factory Defaults.”
A pop-up message will inform you that all of your personal information, downloaded content, and apps will be removed. Tap “Reset” to confirm.
The device will power off, and you’ll see a progress screen as it restores the device to factory defaults. When it’s complete, you’ll have a fresh Fire Tablet, just like the day you got it!
