HT1430 How do I reset my iPhone 4 to original settings?

I'd like to give/sell my iPhone 4 to someone so I need to reset it but I haven't found any information on how to do that. I tried holding down the home/on-off button simultaneously for a few seconds but that didn't do much of anything except turn it on.
Anyone know how to restore it to factory settings?
Thank you,
Marla

You can also plug into your computer and hold the home and power buttons at the same time until you get the "Welcome" screen. You'll want to not restore from backup when prompted.
Hope that helps!

  • Apple technical support *****. Can't even tell me how to hard reset my iPhone. I have to pay $300 to get an answer.

    Can anyone tell me how to hard reset an iPhone? Thanks!

    Apple Technical Support does not **** if you are within warranty or paid for AppleCare. Otherwise, you are expecting something for free when everyone else was required to pay. In my opinion, that would ****.
    Apple's website has plenty of knowledgebase articles that you can access for free. You can try it too. I searched the Internet for iphone reset and here is one of the top hits:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
    There are also the forums (i.e., here) where other users are more than willing to volunteer their time to help you solve issues.

    how can i reset my iphone without update to ios 7.0.6

    You can wipe the device without updating:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    I would be remiss not to mention that iOS 7.0.6 patches a security flaw.
    If you choose not to update, your device will be at risk.

  • How do i reset my iphone 4s to manufactirers

    How do I reset my iphone 4s to manufacrurers? and also in settings, reset button in the$ general the phone require passcode. where can I get the passcode as well?

    If you forgot your iPhone passcode you can bypass the lock screen completely and reset the passcode by using iPhone recovery mode.
    Warning: This will require you to restore your iPhone or iPod touch, this means you’ll lose all data on the device and be back to factory settings.
    Bypass & Reset the iPhone Passcode
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, leave the other end connected to your Mac/PC
    Launch iTunes
    Press and hold the Home and Power button on the top of the iPhone to turn off the device
    Press and continue to hold the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to your iPhone, this will cause the iPhone to turn on
    Continue to hold the Home button until an alert message in iTunes appears that an iPhone in recovery mode has been detected
    Now that the iPhone is in recovery mode, you must restore the device:
    From iTunes, look under the “Summary” tab
    Click on the “Restore” button within iTunes
    This will wipe all files, settings, and apps from the iPhone, including the passcode. When the restore is finished, the iPhone will be at the factory settings. At this point you can choose to start from scratch or to restore the iPhone from a backup.
