    2 ways, boot into recovery mode and then select wipe data/factory reset or menu>settings>privacy>factory data reset.

    Just done this to mine. After resetting factory settings don't forget to wipe your internal sd card. Save your stuff first to pc and then you can format your internal sd. Factory settings reset doesn't remove your files from internal sd.

    Do you have My Files in your apps? If not download Astro from the Play Store.

    You need to boot into recovery mode and reset from there, or remember your password.....
