I'm recycling my old iPhone 6 back to O2.  I have been told to remove pin locks/account locks and back up my content and factory reset the device.  I have no idea how to do any of these things and despite searching on the O2 website, I can't find anything to help me.  Can somebody tell me how to do these things please?  Thank you slight_smile

You won't be able to backup passwords unless you encrypt your backup on a PC or Mac.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
