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.
To perform a hard reset
1.
Press and hold the TALK and END buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET
button at the bottom of your device.
2.

message on the screen:
3.
Release the TALK and END buttons, and then press ENTER on your device.

Clear Storage feature. You will lose all your data and files on the device storage when you use Clear Storage,
so make sure to do a backup first.
1. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Clear Storage.
2. Enter "1234" then tap Yes.
