Welcome to our forums.

If you had no passwords or other security features set then it is highly likely that someone can access your data or reset the device for their own uses.

Was it actually stolen or lost?

If you had a password set then it will make it more difficult for the person to do anything with it. and if they manage to reset it then all your personal data will likely be lost when they do so.

Look at the manufacturers site for details on HARD reseting the device.

This will return it to factory condition.
