  Yes, that's the list.

  *How* do you 'reset' them? With a 'Hard reset' ('Wipe data/factory
reset') from the 'Android Recovery' boot menu as described before (see
for example <https://www.devicesfaq.com/en/hard-reset/samsung-galaxy-j5>
for the phone under discussion).

  If you indeed use that procedure, that would negate Jörg's comment
that after a 'Hard reset' the device would not be usable for *another*
user (than the previous owner/user).

  Exactly (on all counts).
