Will I lose my data when I perform a factory reset?
IMPORTANT: Make sure you know the credentials of your Google™ account before performing a factory data reset. Depending on your security settings, you may need to enter them to restart your device after the factory data reset. If you don't remember your account name and password, you can recover them at the Google Account Recovery website. If you still can't reactivate your device, contact Product Support.

The following are examples of data that gets overwritten:
- Your Google account and other accounts
- Contacts

- Notes
- Messages (SMS, MMS, and email)
- Applications and application data, including game-high scores
- Photos, videos, and music
