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.
