Hard reset

You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings— the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile® software and other pre-installed programs will remain.

Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.

Important If Encrypt files placed on storage cards is or was enabled before, then backup all files from the storage card before using Clear Storage, performing a hard reset, or updating the ROM system software. 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.

to manufacturer default. Press Send to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.

3.Release the buttons, and then press SEND on your device to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
