Swipe to the side (left or right) and enter the device password.
A password is usually set on device activation, if no password was set a factory reset will be required.
From the Main Menu click on the “Maint.” icon.
Then select “Restore to Factory Settings” on the System Maintenance screen.
Note that device settings will be lost.
