260 Chapter 14 Managing Your Phone
Performing a hard resetIf a normal reset does not solve a system problem, you can perform a
hard (full) reset. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default
settingsāthe way it was when you first purchased it and turned it
on. You will lose any programs you installed, data you entered, and
settings you customized on your device, and only Windows MobileĀ®
software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Make sure
that any additional installed programs and/or user data have been
backed up before you perform a hard reset.
Important If Encrypt files when placed on a storage card is enabled, back up
all files from the storage card before performing a factory reset
(Clear Storage or hard reset) or updating the operating system.
Otherwise, you will no longer be able to access the encrypted files
on the storage card. Use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device
Center to transfer files between your storage card and computer.
After the procedure, copy your files back to the storage card.
