- Enter your device’s PIN or password if prompted.
- Finally, tap on “Reset phone” or “Erase everything” to initiate the reset process.
Step 3: Reset using Hardware Buttons
If you are unable to access the device’s settings, you can perform a reset using the hardware buttons. Here’s how:
- Power off your Redmi A3.
- Press and hold the Volume Up button and the Power button simultaneously until the Mi logo appears on the screen.
