How to force a factory reset or hard reset on Moto devices

Force restore, also called “hard reset” of an Moto brand device is necessary when the device does not turn on, shows an error or does not respond and it is not possible to reset it from the device settings.

Keep in mind that force restoring an Moto device will erase everything on it and you need to know the passkey to be able to turn it back on even after force restoring.
