Default Need a Hard Reset

Please Login to Remove!

I have a Blackberry Bold 9650 that the trackpad has become unresponsive. I am in need to conducting a hard reset to completely wipe the device back to factory settings. But, due to the unresponsive trackpad, I am unable to get to Options>Security>Handheld Wipe

Would someone please provide an alternative so that I may wipe this device of all its information and settings?

Thanks

You can navigate using the keyboard (first letter key in menus, return and space on screens, etc). Turn off dial from home in phone options. Then use O key to enter options, and use the keypad to navigate to security, etc.

Do a battery pull and see if it resets. Then you can wipe if you need to do so.

On CIO.com there are "instructions" on how to do this using the keypad alone. I read an article there that talks about "soft resets", "hard resets" and "double-soft" resets.

A battery pull is the best way to do a hard reset. It works.

You can find similar information here in our FAQ.
