5. Using Universal Reset code:
If you don't have Data backup and Restore app, you cannot access Google suite or you want to reset your device without a Google Account, you can try using the Universal Reset code that comes pre-installed on the device. You can access this code by dialing \*#\*#\*#\* (Iriun that means a hibernation menu). In this menu you can choose "Wipe data/factory data" and follow the prompts. Be sure you have the right Universal Reset Code for your specific HTC device.
Note: This method will erase all files and settings on your device, so make sure you have a backup before proceeding.
