Default Just how "complete" is the Security Wipe?

Please Login to Remove!

So I got my replacement Tour because my previous Tour had some trackball issue. Prior to shipping out the old one this morning, I did a backup, and used two method of the following by "wiping" the Tour:

Options > Security Options > Security Wipe and checked box ALL items on the list

In addition, I connected the USB cable to my computer which then asked for the Tour's then-password. I input various strings of non-correct password so it "wipes" the Tour.

So my question is, how effective is the Security Wipe?

My concern is when I installed Pandora into my replacement Tour and launched the application, it was playing stations that I never put in there. I found out it was under a different email address, and therefore I suspect the previous owner did not wipe the Tour or something?

I spent days building my stations and I don't want to lose them. So I immediately changed my Pandora password.

On the other hand... I wonder if my old Tour still contains all my various handles and password and stuff even after doing the security wipe?
