2. Tap "Reset" and confirm with "Clear All" to reset the smartphone and reboot.
3. If the settings can no longer be opened, hold down the power button and press the "Bixby button" and the "Volume up button" to start the recovery mode.
4. There, select "Wipe data/factory reset" in the menu to wipe the device and then "reboot system now" to restart it.
