the only way to fix it is perform a master /hard reset on the device
which will wipe all the data on the device other than what's save on the memory card
your pictures, song, videos only..

1. power off the phone
2. hold the back arrow,volume down key, power key at the same time
3. keep holding until a black screen with yellow letters will show on the screen
4. use the volume buttons to find factory reset.
5. press home key to confirm
