Want to wipe it completely so the buyer gets a clean machine with none of my accounts. Do I need to sign out of iCloud first, and is Erase All Content enough on an Intel model?

Selling my old iPhone and want to wipe it completely so the buyer can set it up as new. Do I sign out of iCloud first, and does erase all content actually remove everything?

Changed my passcode last week and now can't remember it. Phone is mine and I know my Apple ID login. What's the official way to wipe and restore it without the passcode?

Selling my old Galaxy and want it fully wiped. Is the reset in settings enough, and do I need to remove my Samsung and Google accounts first so the buyer doesn't get locked out?

Selling my old iPhone 12 and want everything wiped properly. Do I need to sign out of iCloud first, or does Erase All Content and Settings handle that? Don't want the buyer stuck with activation lock.

Selling my old Galaxy. I want it fully wiped and not tied to my Google account so the buyer doesn't get locked out. Is the reset in settings enough, or do I remove the account first?

Selling my old HP laptop and want it wiped. It boots slowly and sometimes crashes, so I can't always reach settings. Is there a way to reset it from startup?

Tried to factory reset apple watch and ended up back where i started. I've restarted it and signed out and back in already. How do you do it now? Cheers.
