I have a PSVita Fat with 3.60 Henkaku-11 cfw installed.
Now I will sell it, but my PS account is on the Vita.
Can I reset to factory Default setting via setting menu?
Or it will brick the console?

Are you using plain Henkaku (manually launched, typically on that version -but not exclusively- via a browser or mail exploit) or fully autobooting Enso?

Because, in either case, the answer to
Or it will brick the console?
is No;
in the former case nothing is running anyway until you run the exploit so nothing in the rewritable partitions will affect the normal startup, while if you have Enso a factory reset will remove ur0:/tai/boot_config.txt which will effectively disable but not remove it, making the console boot according to the stock boot_config in os0:

Technically there's a brick hazard if you were to remove Enso by reinstalling OFW then later re-mod the console and try to remove it again with the 1.0 installer, but that's a fair amount of steps beyond "doing a factory reset" and in any case is fixed in the 1.1 official Enso installer :)

And if you were to bother enough, you could always deactivate your console using the official PSN settings (do that anyway to free up a license in the most convenient way) then delete the XRegistry causing a factory reset of the settings only...

I uninstalled Enso with the app, and after rebooting restored the Vita via settings menu.
Then followed the hacking guide to install brand new Henkaku hack, now without my PS account.
Thanks for the help.
