I was a bit scared to do it but it worked fine, just like in our video, thank you!

Now it’s asking for previous google account after the factory reset but I don’t remember as my pixel is many years old and just switching back from my iPhone.

I would like to know how many times you need to press each button in order to successfully hard reset a Google Pixel phone. I'm legally blind and I just bought a Pixel 8, but, its stuck in Estonian for the onscreen language, so I'm not having much luck navigating using Talkback text to speech screen reading software and finding the settings to change the language to English UK, so I think a hard reset might be my only option rather than waiting for somebody with fully functioning eyesight to reset the phone for me. Can somebody post the steps with the number of volume up/down button presses and the number of power of power button presses?

Hello, is this operation called flashing a phone?

[@dharmaguadeloupe5345]

Bloody Google making these ridiculously fiddly. Also their help page is out of date with the button presses. You sir saved my life. I was about to drop kick this handset out the window. Huzzah for you!
