deleted. This cannot be reversed. Remember to back up any important data
before performing a hard reset.

To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you need to access a wireless access point
or “hotspot.” Some access points are open and you can simply connect to
them. Others are hidden or use security features; you must configure your
phone to be able to connect to them.
