I'm trying to reset my Galaxy note 20 ultra in order to send it back to a send it back to AT&T, but there is no option under general management to do a soft reset and when I tried to do a hard reset, there is no option for wipe phone/reset. Does anybody have experience with this, and would you be willing to share that experience with me please?

Try holding volume up and power button at same time. That should bring up choices where to factory reset

That'll cause the FRP / Samsung account reset lock; which voids the trade-in credit

I tried that, even took it to geek squad and they were unable to help. I unistalled Kaspersky from the phone and still unable to reset. And again I am trying everything,
1. AT&T
2. Geek Squad
3. Hard and Soft reset
4. Find my mobile - erase data
5. auto erase 15 times the wrong password

FRP and samsung account lock won't happen if you delete the account >5min prior to factory resetting from vol.up + power key (recovery mode) 

if you want... you can submit error report to samsung members app > get help > error report   after reproducing the issue.

Samsung Factory Reset

1. Settings -> General management -> Reset -> Factory data reset

Factory data reset "will erase all data, including files and downloaded apps"

 

Generic Android Factory Reset steps:

1. Turn off phone if it isn't already

2. Hold Volume Up + Power button until Samsung logo pops up and release. note: make sure its volume UP.

3. Using the volume buttons, navigate to "Wipe data/factory reset". Use power button to select the option and whatever else it asks of you.

I think this might work with all current android phones and not just Samsung's, but not  100% positive.

I had to take mine to Samsung Repair. They used their software to reset the phone
