Expert’s Opinion: It’s generally recommended to first attempt performing a soft reset before proceeding to a Factory Reset. Soft reset is a Power Cycle that is usually performed by pressing and holding the Power button and turning off the device. It can fix software glitches, force the device to restart without data loss. If that doesn’t help, then performing a Factory Reset (i.e. Hard reset) can erase all data and settings to the default factory settings.
