Backup Your Data: Before initiating a hard reset, it’s crucial to back up your important data such as contacts, photos, videos, and any other files you want to keep. Once you perform a hard reset, all data on the phone will be erased and cannot be recovered unless previously backed up.

Battery Level: Ensure that your Vivo Y23L has sufficient battery charge before proceeding with a hard reset. It’s recommended to have at least a 50% battery level to prevent the device from powering off during the reset process, which could potentially lead to software issues.

SIM and SD Card Removal: It’s a good practice to remove the SIM card and SD card from your phone before performing a hard reset. This prevents any potential data loss or corruption on these cards during the reset process.

Alternative Methods: If the standard methods (via Settings menu or Recovery mode) do not work, consider using Vivo’s official PC software like Vivo Assistant, or contacting Vivo customer support for guidance. These methods can provide additional troubleshooting options and ensure that the reset process is carried out correctly.

Factory Reset Protection (FRP): If your Vivo Y23L has Google’s Factory Reset Protection (FRP) enabled, you’ll need to enter the Google account credentials associated with the device after the reset. Make sure you have these credentials ready if prompted during the setup process after the reset.
