Hello and welcome aboard. You will need to "reset" the device.

1. Turn the power off.
2. Hold the Volume Down button.
3. Press and release the Power button.
4. You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock.
5. Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button.
6. Press and release the Power button.

7. Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO If you selected YES, all data including third-party applications will be deleted from the Samsung Galaxy S. Once the wipe is complete, the phone will reboot to its factory fresh state.

I hope the above helps.
