How to Hard Reset a Droid
The Motorola Droid is a smartphone that runs the Android operating system. Sometimes a Droid may become misconfigured or suffer data loss that renders the system unusable. You can fix many of these problems by initiating a hard reset. A hard reset restores the Droid back to its factory-released software configuration. This operation will erase all information on your phone and should be used as a last resort.
