To perform a hard reset (sometimes called a “factory reset”) on your Motorola Droid, follow these steps. Be warned though, this will clear all data and settings on the device:

  1. Turn the Droid off. If it won’t turn off, remove the battery and reinstall it.
  2. Open the keyboard and press the X key while pressing and holding Power. The device will power on. Keep holding the buttons down until a yellow triangle icon appears.
  3. Press the Camera and Volume Up buttons at the same time to get to the menu.
  4. Use the direction pad to select wipe data/factory reset.

These instructions were written for Android 2.0.1.
