Hi all, looking for some advice. I have several old phones an iPad and a laptop. They were old ones given to me by various friends and family years ago for my children to use. My children are adults now and have their own gadgets. Just wondering what is the best way to dispose of these. They are pretty ancient. I’ve read that you should delete everything before passing on/getting rid but the problem is they are so old I can’t remember the passwords to get on them and delete stuff. So I’m a bit worried about taking them to the tip etc in case someone manages to unlock them and access personal details on them etc. Does anyone know how I can dispose of them safely if I can’t access them to return to factory settings? Thank you.
