How to Reset a Nook
If your Nook is unresponsive or occasionally freezing, you may consider resetting your device. You can perform a soft reset that essentially remedies minor technical issues. You can perform a hard reset and return your Nook to factory condition. With a hard reset, everything saved on your Nook will be deleted. When you re-register your Nook with your Barnes and Noble account, you can sync the device with your previously stored data.
