    Most phones have that option. I found this in a search;

    First do try to factory data reset the phone through the main menu settings.

    1. On the main home screen, just select MENU
    2. Select SETTINGS, then select PRIVACY
    3. Select FACTORY DATA RESET
    4. Select RESET PHONE
    5. If the password is required,enter it. Then confirm by selecting ERASE EVERYTHING

    IF the phone is hang up or frozen, Try to turn it off first and do a hard reset through key combinations.

    1. If your Samsung Galaxy S II is frozen, Shut the POWER OFF, take the battery out and put it back again.
    2. Hold the Volume Down button
    3. Briefly Press and release the Power button
    4. A menu will then appears that let you allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
    5. Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
    6. Quickly Press and release the Power button
    7. Select Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO

    If the above procedures doesn't work. try this another method:

    1. Turn the POWER OFF, pull the battery out and put it back again.
    2. Simultaneously press the Volume Up, Home and Power button
    3. If the Samsung Symbol appears, release the Power button
    4. A Boot Menu will then show, Use the volume up/down to choose and home to select.

    Wait 'till the process completes, Once the wipe is completed, the Samsung Galaxy S II l9100 will then reboot. All the data you previously installed already been deleted and then the phone will then return to its original factory fresh default settings

    Glad it worked out for you. But I do have to ask you one thing. I noticed this while using the Tapatalk app and was curious how this link got there;
