Before You Begin
Ensure your device is charged to at least 50% to prevent interruptions during the reset process. Back up any important files or data, as a factory reset will erase all personal information and settings.

This method is straightforward if your device is functioning normally.
Step 1: Open Settings
Click on the Start menu and select the gear icon to open the Settings app.
Step 2: Navigate to Recovery
In the Settings window, click on Update & Security, then select Recovery from the sidebar.
Step 3: Reset This PC
Under Reset this PC, click on Get started. Choose Remove everything to perform a full reset.
Method 2: Using Hardware Buttons
If your device is unresponsive, you can perform a reset using hardware buttons.
Step 1: Turn Off the Device
Press and hold the power button until the device turns off completely.
Step 2: Enter Recovery Mode
Press and hold the volume up button and the power button simultaneously until the Samsung logo appears, then release both buttons.
Step 3: Perform Factory Reset
Use the volume buttons to navigate to Wipe data/factory reset, then press the power button to select. Confirm your choice when prompted.
After the Reset
Once the reset is complete, your device will restart. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your Samsung Galaxy Book 2 anew. Remember to restore your backed-up data if needed.
