What is the factory reset settings or hard reset for the Android phones?

Restoring factory settings is a feature of Android devices (phone, tablet, watch, etc). Resetting or resetting to factory values is a procedure similar to formatting computers/laptops. It allows you to delete all data and settings, clears all the information in the phone’s internal memory so that the terminal returns to its original state (leaves it as you bought it, freshly purchased).

All android devices supports factory reset which implicitly means that will also reset google account. When the settings are cleared, the default or factory settings are applied to subsequent modification by the user, but you will soon find yourself in the situation to have a google locked phone.

All applications except those preinstalled are also deleted, including your google and gmail account associated with the phone. This makes it extremely important to back up your phone before resetting it.

Yes, there is a possibility to return to a previous version of Android.
When resetting the android mobile, the factory condition means the last ROM installed on your phone.

Why does a Android Phone request the Google account associated with the device before returning to factory settings?
Android Lollipop 5.1 has introduced a new feature: device protection (anti-theft) or Factory Reset Protection. It is necessary to check the owner of the device using the associate Google account. You can not skip this step unless you download the appropriate programs, so first download bypass google account apk tools in order to override google verification after reset.

This FRP feature is enabled by default if:
1. There are several Google accounts on the device before resetting.
2. The security mode to unlock the phone is not set to “none” or “swipe” before resetting.

If you modify your Google Account, that account can not be used to verify your identity to avoid resetting the product without consent (eg if stolen).
