On a Series 40 device, you can do a normal reset via the Settings>Restore factory settings menu. The normal reset simply resets the most basic phone settings, such as the security code, whether to enable speed dialing, the display brightness, and the screensaver time-out, to their factory preset values. It does not alter the applications mapped to the right soft key (i.e., the GoTo key), nor does it alter any of the network connection settings.
On a Series 60 device, you can do a normal reset by entering the service code *#7780# on the phone's idle screen, as though you are making a phone call. Alternatively, you can use the Tools>Settings>Phone settings>General>Orig. factory settings menu to perform the normal reset.
The Series 60 normal reset does everything the Series 40 normal reset does. In addition, it forces the phone to reload all the .ini files from the Read-Only Memory (ROM) to the C: drive under the Symbian OS. Hence, many application settings are restored. For instance, a normal reset on a Series 60 phone restores the soft-key shortcuts on the idle screen to factory settings, deletes the phone's Bluetooth name, eliminates all the GPRS access point settings , and resets data storage options in the Camera or Messaging application to "Phone memory" . The email Inbox settings , however, are left untouched.
The phone prompts you for the current security code before it resets itself. The default security code is 12345.
On both Series 40 and Series 60 phones, the normal reset leaves intact all the user data on the phone, such as contacts, calendar items, wallpapers, images, tones, messages, and third-party applications. While it is a safe operation, the normal reset is of limited value, since most of the time it is the user data that messes up the phone. A much more powerful reset is a deep reset.
