What did you think was going to happen? I don't think any Android phones can be taken to "bare metal" (no OS) that easily.
A word of caution - A Google account that has just had its password reset can't be used to log in to a device for 24 hours or so, and if you're planning to use a new account you need to be sure to have removed your old account from the phone properly or the phone will be expecting your old (hacked?) account for sign in when you go to set it back up.
If your phone has been reset, what further direction do you need?
