Hard resetting a cellular phone completely wipes it of user data. If you hard reset your LG Octane, you'll be returning the phone to its factory settings. A hard reset is often the last step in troubleshooting hardware and software issues, and is also recommended if you're planning on giving your old LG Octane to a friend or family member. You can hard reset the Octane directly from within the phone's operating system.
1 Select Menu from the Octane's home screen
Select “Menu” from the Octane's home screen.
2 Select Settings and Tools

4 Choose Restore Phone

5 Wait while the phone restores
