Things You'll Need:
- Palm Handheld Organizers
- Paper And Binder Clips
-
Step 1
Take the stylus that came with your device, and unscrew the top part (away from the point).
-
Step 2
Straighten out a paper clip if you don't have the stylus or your device is earlier than a Palm III.
-
Step 3
Turn your device over. On the right side you should see a pinhole with the word Reset next to it. This is the reset switch.
-
Step 4
Gently press the reset switch with the reset tool or paper clip. Your Palm device should power up.
-
Step 5
Depress the reset switch twice in quick succession if pressing once didn't restart your Palm.
-
Step 6
Perform a Hard Reset if you want to get rid of all the data on your handheld. To do this, press and hold the Power button while you are performing a reset.

on 11/22/2005 If your Palm Pilot has crashed and does not respond to a soft (regular) reset, you do not have to do a hard reset. Instead, hold down on the arrow buttons, and then press reset. This is called a warm reset.
