Apple iPhone 5 hard reset

First charge your battery, backup your important data if possible and in most cases take out SIM and SD card. It is impossible to recover your data after doing a hard reset, so online backup is always important. For all of your data, a backup should be done on an external device, hard drive, raid system or media.

Reset iPhone 5: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at
