Hard Re-setting Galaxy Ace

Recently, I had a bit of a problem with my phone - the Samsung Galaxy Ace. Apart from being pretty annoyed with Samsung for giving next to no internal memory (150MB only), the phone was eating up battery quite fast and becoming quite slow. So , I decided to hard reset it. Problem is - the information about android phones is too much in plenty and scattered all over the blogs. So, here are the ways you can do it:

1. Enter Recovery Mode

Press the home key and the power key simultaneously. 

When you see the Samsung logo , let go and you get into recovery mode.

2. From the dial pad
Enter the following key strokes:

*2767*3855#

3. From the phone itself.

Go to settings->Privacy Settings -> Factory data reset
