Please, only a few know this, because almost nobody actually read the manual.
This information along with the illustration is from the beginning in the official user's manual for the phone.
This is not a secret.

Performing a system repair is the only way - This will factory reset your phone
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

How can i delete all data from treo 750 - where is the hard reset button for the treo 750

I'm giving my phone to my brother and want to delete all my data from the treo 750 (AT&T). All the other posts I read doesn't tell me where the reset button is. Please Help!

Hello and welcome to the Palm forums.
A hard reset wipes everything off your device. A hard reset is performed by holding down the power/end call button while removing the battery from your device for a few seconds. Keep your hand on the power/end call button until you put the battery back into your device. After you put the battery back in, the screen will say "Palm Powered." Take your hand off the power/end call button. You will now see a screen in 5 languages prompting you to erase all data from the palm. The screen will say "erase all data? Yes - up, no - down" and you need to click on the up arrow (button on the 5 way navigator on the bottom of the treo). This will erase all the info from your device.
I hope this was helpful!

What is the Hard Reset Buttons Combo for Macbook pro

I have done it before but have forgotten. I think it is Shift+option+commaand and hold down the power button for 5 seconds, all while the computer is off and plugged in, but I can't remember.
Any help is much appreciated

Hi B,
I believe you mean an SMC reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

I need to hard reset a Palm TX but the Power button does not function.

I need to hard reset my Palm TX but the Power button does not function. Is there any other way to perform the hard reset or otherwise delete all of my data?

Hi,
PowerBtn from the Canuck Software HomePage.
NOTE: This is Not a Blazer friendly download and only for downloading using a Chunky Computer thingie.
http://www.canuck-software.ca/
PowerBtn will allow you to set a HardButton to turn the TX on and off in the same fashion as the PowerButton, if you want.
This setting will remain active while 'Enable' on the PowerBtn screen is active.
The user can select 'Disable' on the PowerBtn screen.
The setting will survive a Soft Reset. (Hi PG )
If the Palm PowerButton fails completely then you will not be able to do a Hard Reset.
The PowerBtn app has a 'Hard Reset button' which you tap and after a time countdown (you can cancel in this time) it will perform a Hard Reset. This is the same as the Hard Reset app mentioned above.
The 'Enable' and 'Disable' mentioned above do not affect the 'Hard Reset button'
NOTE: PowerBtn also has a 'Program itself becomes power button' feature but I do NOT recommend you use this.
If you enable this you will not be able to change the setting or use the 'Hard Reset button' because when you Tap on the PowerBtn Icon the TX will turn Off. The only way to change the setting or use the 'Hard Reset button' would be to Delete PowerBtn then install again.
You can also turn your TX On by pushing the 5WayNav Select (middle button) to bring up the clock then double push it. The TX will stay on at the same place it was in when you turned it off, in the same way it would if you used the Power Button
All the best, woz of oz

WKPC54G Hard Reset

I was having intermittent problems only using my wireless access to my laptop but not wireline, so I decided unfortunately to press the hard reset button on the back of the router. Now I am totally hosed....
When trying to follow the initial setup instructions, from my PC browser, now it will not allow me to "save settings". I get a pop-up login screen when I try to "save settings". When I try to login again using the default User Name as empty and enter the default password, admin it claims its invalid and no data can be saved. I am I doing something wrong or did my Linksys go bad? I have had it for at least 14 months.
I can not even get the wire line to work anymore, so no wireline router or wireless router. A real bummer.

In order to try to recover your router, the first thing to do is to try to reset the router to factory defaults. To do this:
1)  Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4)  Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key.  You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out."   If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, then in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk, and see if you can get your router set up and working. When you get to the password prompt in setup, be sure to leave the user name blank.
If this does not fix your problem, then report back with your results, including any error messages, and the firmware version number if you have it. Also report back the status of your router lights.

N8 hang / boot failure / hard reset / missing stan...

Recap: Phone hanged (won't boot) and I had to do a hard reset (volume down, camera, menu, power). After that some standard apps (Nokia Store, Social and QuickOffice wouldn't install). - Solution: Just reinstall Belle from Nokia Suite, then the standard apps is installed for you. I don't now why noone that had problems after a hard reset has found this one earlier. So easy! - Details: For less hassle when the phone hangs and a hard reset is needed the best order seems to be: 1) hard reset (hold volume down, camera, meny and then press power). 2) Reinstall Belle from Nokia Suite. 3) Reinstall apps that are missing (on c: drive, apps on e: seems to survive the process for some reason).
Lars-Erik Østerud - http://www.osterud.name/nokia.html

That worked before belle refreshed version for n8. Now i lost everything and i knew this trick a looooong time ago. BUT... After 3 times trying to: delete and restore, reinstall firmware, delete and restore. Nothing happend(. Nokia should provide this default apps as signed sis in nokia store. Alot of people are having this problems. Now i'm stuck at missing photo/ video editor

No internet access after hard reset.

I hit the hard reset button on my router and now my computer & other devices can not access the internet. I can connect to my router but have no internet. It was working fine earlier today until it was hard reseted.
I ran windows troublshoot and I got: 'The network gateway is accessible, but Windows couldn't receive network traffic from the internet."
Solved!
Go to Solution.

All my devices finally gained internet access after again hard reseting my router and then power cycling my modem, router, and pc. Thanks Eddie 956for not giving up on yourself!

Actiontec mi424wr wont hard reset

First I will preface this, I have setup a fair amount of networking and computer equipment. I am home for the holidays. My parents have FIOS TV and internet.
I needed to get into my router to change a WIFI BROADCAST CHANNEL TODAY. My set user id /password wont work.
I use a password keeper software ( roboform), nothing changed.
So i pulled the trigger and tried using the hard reset button ( used before probably a year ago). MI424wr resets and goes through power cycles. I tried this at least 10x. Even a full 30 second hold down of reset, i know its contacting as when i release about 10 seconds later it power cycles.
None of the settings change, I know because the SSID of the router is the same, it should default after a hard reset.
And the password is still not working. All permutations of defualt.
So based on the SSID being my custom one after it cycles through reset, some memory issue i think.
So i wonder if there is some other sort of problem as it doesn't reset or even respond through weblogin. Otherwise internet and router are fine.
I think i need advice from a FIOS tech on if there is some trick to get this router to respond

if leaving the power disconnected 3 - 4 minutes, then hold the reset button IN as you give the router POWER, and hold it in for at least 15 seconds does not fix it, your router has been pwned and you need to call for a replacement. although attempting a firmware upgrade might also help.

9630 Keyboard/Buttons not working; hard resets and multiple reloads of OS did not correct

My BlackBerry 9630 Tour is a little more than a year old. Yesterday the keyboard, trackball, and all buttons stopped working while I was typing out an email. I could not power off the Blackberry without removing the battery for a hard reset. Unfortunately, even after many hard resets, the problem persisted, so I went to the forums for help and tried everything that seemed relevant (multiple times) with no success.
After reviewing a number of tech support posts, this problem does not appear to be unique to any given model of BB and contact with liquids is cited as a common but not the only cause for this condition.
I was outside on a very hot and humid day when the malfunction occurred so it is possible some perspiration may have come into contact with the keypad, convenience buttons, or trackball and caused the lockup.
I'm looking for someone with more smarts than me to help me troubleshoot, identify the actual problem, and identify the proper corrective actions. See below for a synopsis of my actions taken, with the exception of taking it to the shop for repair/replacement.
The corrective actions listed on the forums and blogs are varied but essentially fall into two primary solutions:
1. If moisture is suspected to be the issue, let the BB dry out overnight
    a. Pull the battery, naturally air dry or use a blow dryer, let it sit unplugged with no battery for at least 12 hours
    b. If this doesn't immediately work, try a clean install of the OS (see below)
    c. If this doesn't work, take to the shop and they'll either replace the keyboard and/or trackball or replace entire unit
2. If moisture is not suspected to be a factor then perform a backup followed by a clean install of OS
     a. Backup your files using Desktop Manager Backup and Restore
     b. Do a clean reinstall OS using Desktop Manager Application Loader
         i. The OS installation process is dicey and takes a little patience and focus-- you have to wait for the Desktop Manager to properly recognize the device before it can proceed on some of the steps and it may take several iterations to get completely through the process and get the "successful installation" message.
         ii. Further, you may need to keep the battery removed during the initial steps in the process and only insert it when the process gets to the point of actually trying to copy files into the BB memory
            * The BB LCD will display an icon that looks like a battery with a slash through it letting you know the process cannot proceed until a battery is inserted and the Desktop Manager Application Loader will also give you an error indicating it cannot find the device.
            * After inserting the battery, it will take a few seconds or more for the computer to recognize the USB device and for Desktop Manager to respond with the BB password pop-up window.
            * After typing in your BB password, the installation should continue.
    c. If you can get the OS successfully reloaded and your keyboard/trackball/buttons work -- great -- now restore your files and settings using Desktop Manager Backup and Restore and get on with your life.
    d. If this does NOT work after multiple successful clean OS installations apparently you are completely hosed; the only other option is to get it to the shop for repair or replacement.
1.. Does anyone have a troubleshooting procedures that will identify whether moisture is the root cause or not?
2. Is there another corrective procedure that's been missed?

Took BB to Sprint Store and technician took it apart, saw no evidence of moisture or any other damage, and concluded that the keyboard had failed. Not an uncommon occurance.
Also, he told me you cannot simply replace the keyboard, it is integral to the systemboard, so you need to replace the entire device.
He did commend the troubleshooting approach used prior to going to the store -- most folks won't take the time to do even basic troubleshooting (like taking out the battery), they just go to the store and say "fix it please". He confirmed that the steps outlined in the initial post were correct and did not have any other solutions.
Take away:
If you want to do some troubleshooting yourself to check for moisture, the process was pretty straightforward. After watching the technician, most folks with a little technical or mechanical aptitude should be able to manage the dismantling process. You just need a small phillips head screwdriver and a little patience. Good lighting and a magnifying glass or reading glasses also help!

Iphone 4 has a black screen which will display the apple logo for approx 10 seconds, then goes blank for 10 seconds and so on. I have tried a hard reset with power button and home button but no change. Get no response when attempting to connect to itune

iphone 4 has a black scrren which will display the apple logo and appears to be at start up but then blacks out for approx 10 seconds and then displays apple logo again. Same action over and over.
I have attempted hard reset but cannot complete. Also attempted to connect with itunes and it does not recongize device.
Device is frozen in this display loop. Have an appointment with genius bar tomorrow but it's a 2.5 hour round trip so suggestion appreciated.

Your device may need to be restored as new in iTunes (instead of restored from a back up as it seems that there is a software issue on your phone).
If your phone is not able to connect in iTunes try forcing recovery mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808)
* power off your phone.
* Hold the home button while connecting your phone to iTunes. You should see the connect to iTunes window and your computer should give you the recover mode alert.
*Restore your device as new. Being sure not to restore from a previous back up.
You will then want to sync your information back to your device from Outlook, iCloud, Google or wherever your information is stored.

My iphone 4s keeps shutting down on it's own and seems to restart itself. Pressing the home button or trying a hard reset does not turn the phone back on. Is anyone else having problems like this?

My iPhone 4s keeps randomly shutting down. It usually does this after it's been sitting in sleep mode for a few minutes. Pressing the home button or attempting a hard reset does not turn the phone back on. It seems to turn on on it's own. It has done this since I got it and seems to be doing it more frequently. I've only had the phone for about 2 months.

IPhone buttons on Microsoft stop working until hard reset

I have a brand new iPhone 5s which shipped with 7.0.4 so I did a fresh install of 7.0.6 (not an update) its not even two weeks old however at times the buttons on the earpods will stop working and I have to do a hard reset to get them to work. I am unplugging and plugging the earpods several times as my Kenwood stereo in my jeep connects via USB for my music and the cord for my ear pods dangling tends to get in the way of my hands when turning the wheel. that's when I notice it stops working sometimes when I plug it back in. I have a life proof case with that screw in waterproof headphone adapter I take in and out of when unplugging as well... the headset and microphone work when plugged in, the buttons will just stop working

Did you try to reset your iPhone? Hold down Power and Home buttons together until Apple logo appears.

Tungsten t5 hard reset w/ out power button?

My tungsten t5 palm was purchased used a few days ago. There was no problems when I purchased it, but somehow my elite-super-uber computer recognized it as a "threat" and destroyed some very important programs/files that I know absoluty NOTHING about. Anyways, now using my touch screen is a chore, and it takes a very forceful tap to access the menus, which is followed by a very very long lag. Is there ANY way to reset this to factory defaults without using the power button? my power button was broken when i bought it

Welcome to the Palm Support Community,fonzzz!
Do NOT apply too much pressure on the touch screen...
It may damage the digitizer!!!
To hard reset your Palm without your Power Button,
download and run this PRC :
http://www.palmpowerups.com/file/HardReset.prc
It even has a 10 second delay in case you accidentally
activate it...
And to reset your Palm T5 to it's factory defaults,read on:
Zero Out Reset
Tungsten T5
Treo 650 only
A zero out reset will return a device to its factory-fresh state. When done correctly, it completely rewrites your device's internal memory with zeros and ones, ensuring that any data is expunged. It should be used only if you want all information completely obliterated (example: you're selling your handheld, or you're sending it in for repair, and want to protect your privacy).
Tungsten E2 note: a hard reset (above) produces the same results as a zero out reset - completely rewrites data on internal memory. No need to perform the steps below.
Warning: A zero out reset will erase everything on your device. All your data will be removed, and formats, preferences and other settings are restored to their factory default settings. Don't perform a zero out reset unless you want to eradicate everyting.
HotSync note: Some third-party applications change the way your device backs up data. Other third-party applications do not back up data. If you have third-party software on your device, please contact the developer to learn what components are backed up during a HotSync operation, and if HotSync conduits are altered. Any data not backed up will be lost.
Method One (Tungsten T5 only)
This method works only with a Tungsten T5. It does not work with a Treo 650; for Treo 650, use Method Two, below.
If you've set a password on your device, any hard reset will automatically become a zero out reset. With this method, you'll enter a password and then perform a hard reset.
On your handheld, launch the Prefs application. Under General, select Security.
If the Password box says "Unassigned," tap the box and create a password for your handheld.
With the password set, perform a hard reset.
You may see a screen that says "Reformatting in progress. This may take several minutes." This screen will remain for several minutes (up to 10 minutes). Don't do anything while this is happening.
If you did this reset correctly, the screen go blank after several minutes, and you will not be able to turn on your handheld. The charging LED will not light up. Any other activity — such as the Palm OS logo and then the Applications launcher appearing — means the reset was performed incorrectly; try again.
Your device will appear "dead." To wake up your handheld, perform a soft reset.
If you want your device to remain in factory state, stop here. If you want to restore data to your device, follow the steps for recovering your data after a hard reset (a zero out reset is a special type of hard reset).
Method Two (Tungsten T5; Treo 650)
Read through these instructions before attempting the reset. We made this method of zero out reset extremely awkward to perform, so that it would not happen by accident. You may need the help of a dextrous friend if you find it too difficult to do by yourself.
Connect your device to its HotSync cable or cradle. The HotSync cable does not need to be connected to your PC, and it does not need to be connected to power.
Press and hold the Power button and UP on the 5-way navigator.
While continuing to hold Power and UP, press and hold the HotSync button on the HotSync cable or cradle. As you press HotSync, make sure your other finger doesn't slide to LEFT or RIGHT on the 5-way navigator; it needs to be exactly on UP during the entire process. Although you are pressing the HotSync button, a HotSync operation should not begin.
While continuing to hold Power, UP and HotSync, press and release the RESET button on the back panel of your device (where's the reset hole?). This is very difficult to do with only one person; you may wish to hold the stylus in your mouth and use your hands to press Power, UP and HotSync.
Release Power, UP and HotSync.
If you did this reset correctly, the screen of your device will go blank, and you will not be able to turn it on. The charging LED will not light up, even if it's connected to power. It will appear to be "dead." Aany other activity — such as the Palm OS logo or a rainbow-colored Boot Log screen appearing — means the reset was performed incorrectly; try again.
Your device will appear "dead" for several minutes (up to 10 minutes). During this time, your device's internal memory is being reformatted. If your device doesn't appear "dead" for several minutes with the screen completely blank, the zero out reset was performed incorrectly; try again.
After several minutes, your device will "wake up" and the Palm and Palm Powered logos will appear as if you had performed a hard reset. Eventually, you'll be taken to a series of screens to calibrate the touchscreen and set date & time.
If you want your handheld to remain in factory state, stop here. If you want to restore data to your device, follow the steps for recovering your data after a hard reset (a zero out reset is a special type of hard reset).
Good luck for your reset,and enjoy you Palm!
